Structure and function of Septin 9 and its role in human malignant tumors

World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology

Abstract

The treatment and prognosis of malignant tumors are closely related to the time when the tumors are diagnosed; the earlier the diagnosis of the tumor, the better the prognosis. However, most tumors are not detected in the early stages of screening and diagnosis. It is of great clinical significance to study the correlation between multiple pathogeneses of tumors and explore simple, safe, specific, and sensitive molecular indicators for early screening, diagnosis, and prognosis. The Septin 9 (SEPT9) gene has been found to be associated with a variety of human diseases, and it plays a role in the development of tumors. SEPT9 is a member of the conserved family of cytoskeletal GTPase, which consists of a P-loop-based GTP-binding domain flanked by a variable N-terminal region and a C-terminal region. SEPT9 is involved in many biological processes such as cytokinesis, polarization, vesicle trafficking, membrane reconstruction, deoxyribonucleic acid repair, cell migration, and apoptosis. Several studies have shown that SEPT9 may serve as a marker for early screening, diagnosis, and prognosis of some malignant tumors, and have the potential to become a new target for anti-cancer therapy. This article reviews the progress in research o...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

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
