Breast Cancer Tumor Suppressors: A Special Emphasis on Novel Protein Nischarin.
Cancer Research 2015 October 16
Tumor suppressor genes regulate cell growth and prevent spontaneous proliferation that could lead to aberrant tissue function. Deletions and mutations of these genes typically lead to progression through the cell-cycle checkpoints, as well as increased cell migration. Studies of these proteins are important as they may provide potential treatments for breast cancers. In this review, we discuss a comprehensive overview on Nischarin, a novel protein discovered by our laboratory. Nischarin, or imidazoline receptor antisera-selected protein, is a protein involved in a vast number of cellular processes, including neuronal protection and hypotension. The NISCH promoter experiences hypermethylation in several cancers, whereas some highly aggressive breast cancer cells exhibit genomic loss of the NISCH locus. Furthermore, we discuss data illustrating a novel role of Nischarin as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. Analysis of this new paradigm may shed light on various clinical questions. Finally, the therapeutic potential of Nischarin is discussed.
