MTDH
Lua error in Module:Infobox_gene at line 33: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Metadherin, also known as protein LYRIC or astrocyte elevated gene-1 protein (AEG-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MTDH gene.[1][2][3]
Function
AEG-1 is involved in HIF-1alpha mediated angiogenesis. AEG-1 also interacts with SND1 and involved in RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) and plays very important role in RISC and miRNA functions.[4][5]
AEG-1 induces an oncogene called Late SV40 factor (LSF/TFCP2) which is involved in thymidylate synthase (TS) induction and DNA biosynthesis synthesis.[6] Late SV40 factor (LSF/TFCP2) enhances angiogenesis by transcriptionally up-regulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9).[7]
Clinical significance
AEG-1 acts as an oncogene in melanoma, malignant glioma, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.[8] It is highly expressed in these cancers and helps in progression and development of these cancers. It is induced by c-Myc oncogene and plays very important role in anchorage independent growth of cancer cells.
Elevated expression of the metastasis gene metadherin (MTDH), which is overexpressed in more than 40% of breast cancers, is associated with poor clinical outcomes. MTDH has a dual role in promoting metastatic seeding and enhancing chemoresistance. MTDH is therefore a potential therapeutic target for enhancing chemotherapy and reducing metastasis.[9]
LSF/TFCP2 plays multifaceted role in chemo resistance, EMT, allergic response, inflammation and Alzheimer’s disease.[10]
AEG-1 controls many hallmarks of oncogenes and cancer. AEG-1/MTDH induces hepato steatosis in mouse liver.[11] The MTDH knockdown by artificial microRNA interference functions as a potential tumor suppressor in breast cancer.[12] Astrocyte elevated gene-1/MTDH undergoes palmitoylation in normal and abnormal physiology of the cell.[13]The microgrooved biomaterial titanium substrata can alter the expression of AEG-1 in human primary cells.[14]
