ASP was upregulated in CRC tissues, and greater activity correlated significantly with the absence of lymph node metastases and with better overall survival.
Mutation significance and estimated clonality of mutations determined the most likely MSI target genes to be the aminoadipate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase <i>AASDH</i> and the solute transporter <i>SLC9A8</i> Our findings offer a systematic profiling of the somatic background mutation rate in protein-coding mononucleotide microsatellites, allowing a full cataloging of the true targets of MSI in colorectal cancer.<i></i>.
The overexpression of four lipid metabolism-related genes (<i>ABCA1, ACSL1, AGPAT1</i> and <i>SCD</i> genes) has been proposed as prognostic marker of stage II CRC (ColoLipidGene signature).
ABCA1 is significantly overexpressed in patients at advanced stages of colorectal cancer, and its overexpression confers proliferative advantages together with caveolin-1 dependent-increased migratory and invasive capacities.
Polymorphisms in ATP-binding cassette transporter genes and interaction with diet and life style factors in relation to colorectal cancer in a Danish prospective case-cohort study.
Here, we present the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCA1), a regulator of cholesterol transport, as a new marker for invasion and colorectal cancer survival.
Differences in ABCB1 (1236C>T) and ABCB1 (2677G>T/A) genotypes and T(1236) allele distribution between investigated populations indicate significant impact of these SNPs on risk of development of colorectal cancer.
The ABCB1 polymorphisms might be a candidate pharmacogenomic factor to assess susceptibility and prognosis after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for CRC patients.
