Abstract

Spleen Tyrosine Kinase (SYK) belongs to non-receptor tyrosine Kinase family, which normally expresses in epithelial breast tissues and acts as a tumor suppressor gene. Analysis of mutations in the SYK gene and deregulation of SYK transcripts by miRNA in breast cancer was studied. All exons and exon/intron boundaries of SYK gene were amplified and sequenced in blood samples of 207 breast cancer cases and 200 matched controls using PCR-single stranded conformational polymorphism method. Sequence analysis revealed 10 novel mutations in breast cancer patients. Among these 6 mutations (Ala 161Pro, His162Tyr, Phe191Tyr, Val 535Gly, Ser 556lIe and Lys536Gln) were found in exonic region and 4 (26249 T>A, 63941 G>A, 63981G>C and 86548T>A) were found in intronic region. All of these mutations are associated with ∼ 5 folds (p< 0.0001) increase in breast cancer risk in present study cohort. Regulation of SYK transcripts by miRNA was also analyzed using in silico bioinformatics tools, exon 6's mutation (Phe191Tyr) was found to have altered interaction with miR-873. Overall novel mutations in SYK gene and in silico analysis revealed that these mutations are crucial and might be responsible for altered expression of SYK.

Cell Signaling by Tyrosine Kinases

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are the high-affinity cell surface receptors for many polypeptide growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. RTKs have been shown not only to be key regulators of normal cellular processes but also to have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of cancer.
