Splice variants as cancer biomarkers

Clinical Biochemistry
Brigitta M N Brinkman

Abstract

Inherited and acquired changes in pre-mRNA splicing have been documented to play a significant role in human disease development and many cancer-associated genes are regulated by alternative splicing. Loss of fidelity, variation of the splicing process, even controlled switching to specific splicing alternatives may occur during tumor progression and could play a major role in carcinogenesis. Splice variants that are found predominantly in tumors have clear diagnostic value and may provide potential drug targets. Moreover, understanding the process of aberrant splicing and the detailed characterization of the splice variants may prove crucial to our understanding of malignant transformation. This review discusses the basic mechanism of alternative splicing, alternative splicing in cancer-associated genes, tools to identify splice variants, and the development of clinical tests based on alternatively spliced biomarkers.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Breast Cancer: BRCA1 & BRCA2

Mutations involving BRCA1, found on chromosome 17, and BRCA2, found on chromosome 13, increase the risk for specific cancers, such as breast cancer. Discover the last research on breast cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 here.

Cancer Genomics (Keystone)

Cancer genomics approaches employ high-throughput technologies to identify the complete catalog of somatic alterations that characterize the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of cohorts of tumor samples. Discover the latest research using such technologies in this feed.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
