Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Here we show that expression of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in tumor cells determines the immunostimulatory feature of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and is positively associated with prolonged survival. 30664764 2019

Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Publisher Correction: Uncoupling protein 2 reprograms the tumor microenvironment to support the anti-tumor immune cycle. 30862953 2019
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Using murine intestinal cancer models and CRC patient samples, we find higher UCP2 protein levels in tumors compared to their non-tumoral counterparts. 31461648 2019

Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE In mice, administration of Bou (50 mg/kg) also suppressed the growth of rectal cancer associated with increases the UCP2 expression and mitochondria capacity in the tumor. 31028741 2019
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Several lines of evidence suggest that genipin is a potent inhibitor of UCP2, which functions as a tumor promoter in a variety of cancers, attenuates generation of reactive oxygen species and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2, as well as induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in vitro and in in vivo models. 29758279 2018
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Collagen 1A1 (COL1A1), RNA-binding and pre-mRNA Processing Factor (PRPF40A), and Uncoupling Protein 2 (UCP2) were identified as downstream effectors of cytoglobin (CYGB), which was shown implicated in tumour biology. 28258342 2017
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Taken together, our data suggest that (i) UCP2 is an important regulator of mitochondrial redox status and lipid signaling; (ii) hydrogen peroxide might mediate UCP2's tumor promoting activity; and (iii) pharmacological disruption of PLCγ-1 and/or hydrogen peroxide may have clinical utility for UCP2 overexpressed cancers. 28574619 2017
