Sentences with phrase «tumor suppressor protein»

Analysis of genomic, epigenetic, and RNA sequencing data revealed that the combinations of mutations that lowered the levels of functioning BRCA1 and BRCA2 RNA — genes that produce the breast cancer tumor suppressor proteins — were associated with significantly better survival outcomes.

A new study led by University of Kentucky researchers suggests that activating the tumor suppressor p53 in normal cells causes them to secrete Par - 4, another potent tumor suppressor protein that induces cell death in cancer cells.

In a retrospective case study involving published data on p53, an important tumor suppressor protein, the team showed that this new resource called the Knowledge Integration Toolkit (KnIT) is an important first step in that direction, accurately predicting the existence of proteins that modify p53 — proteins that were subsequently found to do just that.

Dr. Shawn Li, PhD, and his team at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, identified that a protein called Numb functions to promote the death of cancer cells by binding to and stabilizing a tumor suppressor protein called p53 - a master regulator of cell death.

It has been known for a number of years that PREX2 is a GTP / GDP exchange factor that inhibits a tumor suppressor protein called PTEN, and that this process can promote tumorigenesis by activating the PI3K signaling pathway (Fine et al., 2009; Hodakoski et al., 2014; Figure 1A).
