Wnt signaling is a developmentally important signaling pathway and is mutated and/or deregulated in various cancer types. We identified a retromer protein SNX3 that regulates recycling of WLS (Wntless) receptor that has a role in WNT ligand secretion. Secreted WNT ligands can then bind to Frizzled family receptors on that same cell or neighboring cells to activate the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin in the nucleus. We identified SNX3 in a transcriptomic screen where shorter 3’UTR isoforms were over represented in breast cancers. Given that SNX3 has been implicated in endocytic recycling of WLS, we hypothesized SNX3 to be a potential cancer related gene in breast cancers through regulating WLS. Therefore, here, we aimed to study SNX3 in ER+ breast cancers that are known not to be heavily dependent on Wnt signaling. We present evidence on SNX3 silencing in ER+ breast cancers and how WLS and Wnt signaling cascades are affected. Further studies will clarify the significance of SNX3/WLS connection and Wnt signaling in ER+ breast cancers

DiPPI: Drugs in Protein-Protein Interaction Interfaces Cankara, Fatma; Şenyüz , Simge; Keskin , Özlem; Gürsoy , Attila (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) modulation has been associated with various diseases. Proteins interact through their interfaces and interface characterization is important to understand the underlying mechanisms of the interaction. There has been an increasing interest in PPIs as drug targets, as analysis of binding regions and critical contacts may reveal more information about these mechanisms. Therefore, investigating the properties of the interactions is critical for the identification of drug targ...
GST isoenzymes in matched normal and neoplastic breast tissue OĞUZTÜZÜN, SERPİL; Abu-Hijleh, A.; ÇOBAN, TÜLAY; Bulbul, D.; KILIÇ, MURAT; İŞCAN, Mümtaz; İşcan, Mesude (AEPress, s.r.o., 2011-01-01) The potential to metabolize endogenous and exogenous substances may influence breast cancer development and tumor growth. Therefore we investigated GST activity and the protein expression of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) isoenzymes known to be involved in the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous carcinogens in breast cancer tissue to obtain new information on their possible role in tumor progression.
RNA-biology ruling cancer progression? Focus on 3 ' UTRs and splicing Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-01) The protein-coding regions of mRNAs have the information to make proteins and hence have been at the center of attention for understanding altered protein functions in disease states, including cancer. Indeed, the discovery of genomic alterations and driver mutations that change protein levels and/or activity has been pivotal in our understanding of cancer biology. However, to better understand complex molecular mechanisms that are deregulated in cancers, we also need to look at non-coding parts of mRNAs, i...
Genome-Scale Networks Link Neurodegenerative Disease Genes to α-Synuclein through Specific Molecular Pathways. KHURANA, V; et. al. (2017-02-22) Numerous genes and molecular pathways are implicated in neurodegenerative proteinopathies, but their inter-relationships are poorly understood. We systematically mapped molecular pathways underlying the toxicity of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), a protein central to Parkinson's disease. Genome-wide screens in yeast identified 332 genes that impact alpha-syn toxicity. To "humanize'' this molecular network, we developed a computational method, Transpose Net. This integrates a Steiner prize-collecting approach w...
MTA-1 expression is associated with metastasis and epithelial to mesenchymal transition in colorectal cancer cells Cagatay, Seda Tuncay; Cimen, Ismail; SAVAŞ, BERNA; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-04-01) Although metastasis associated protein 1 (MTA1) has been widely linked to tumor metastasis, the relevant mechanisms remain to be elucidated, especially in colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we have investigated the link between MTA1, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in CRC. Eighteen normal colon tissues and 91 resected tumor samples were analyzed for MTA1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC). IHC indicated low or no nuclear MTA1 expression in the normal tissues and significantly higher...
