摘要
抑癌基因NPRL2(nitrogen permease regulator-like 2)也称肿瘤抑制候选基因4(tumor suppressor candidate4,TUSC4),定位于人染色体3p21.3区域,广泛存在于人体各种组织中,在生物物种之间具有高度保守性;研究发现,在人类多种肿瘤组织(如肺癌、乳腺癌和肾癌等)中的表达明显降低。NPRL2基因具有参与DNA错配修饰、调控细胞周期信号转导以及诱导细胞凋亡的生物学功能。NPRL2基因失活与多种肿瘤的发生和发展有关。但其具体的抑瘤机制尚不清楚,有待于进一步研究。
Objective:Tumor suppressor gene nitrogen permease regulator like 2 (NPRL2),also called tumor suppressor candidate gene 4 (TUSC4),widely exists in all kinds of human tissues and is highly conserved in different kinds of biological species. The expression of NPRL2 is markedly decreased in many human tumor tissues,such as lung cancer,breast cancer,renal carcinoma,et al. NPRL2 is located in human chromosome 3p2.13,and participates in DNA mismatch modification,regulation of signal transduction du-ring cell cycle progression,and apoptosis induction. NPRL2 gene inactivation is related with the initiation and progression of several malignant tumors. The mechanism underlying the tumor-inhibiting activity of NPRL2 gene is not clear and needs to be further investigated.
