    Description: Members of the recently recognized SRC-1 family of transcriptional coactivators interact with steroid hormone receptors to enhance ligand-dependent transcription. AIB1, a member of the SRC-1 family, was cloned during a search on the long arm of chromosome 20 for genes whose expression and copy number were elevated in human breast cancers. AIB1 amplification and overexpression were observed in four of five estrogen receptor-positive breast and ovarian cancer cell lines. Subsequent evaluation of 105 unselected specimens of primary breast cancer found AIB1 amplification in approximately 10 percent and high expression in 64 percent of the primary tumors analyzed. AIB1 protein interacted with estrogen receptors in a ligand-dependent fashion, and transfection of AIB1 resulted in enhancement of estrogen-dependent transcription. These observations identify AIB1 as a nuclear receptor coactivator whose altered expression may contribute to development of steroid-dependent cancers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Anzick, S L -- Kononen, J -- Walker, R L -- Azorsa, D O -- Tanner, M M -- Guan, X Y -- Sauter, G -- Kallioniemi, O P -- Trent, J M -- Meltzer, P S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Aug 15;277(5328):965-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Laboratory of Cancer Genetics, National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9252329" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Abstract CD9 is a 24-kDa membrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of human platelets and potentially involved in cellular activation and adhesion functions. This protein belongs to a recently delineated family of cell-surface antigens that span the membrane four times, called tetraspans, and found mainly in leucocytes and tumour cells. As a first approach to clarify the function of CD9, we used immunoelectron microscopy to determine the localization of this antigen in human platelets, and compared its distribution with that of the GPIIb-IIIa integrin, the platelet receptor for fibrinogen. Monoclonal antibodies against CD9 (MAb7) and GPIIb-- IIIa (HP1--1D) coupled to colloidal gold of different sizes (5 and 15 nm) were incubated with intact platelets in suspension or on ultrathin sections of platelets embedded in LR white. CD9 was found in association with GPIIb--IIIa on the inner face of α-granule membranes. These two antigens also co-localized on pseudopods of activated platelets and in contact regions between adjacent platelets. CD63, another member of the tetraspan family, was absent from α-granules but was associated with lysosomal structures. Flow cytometric analysis of platelet CD9 with a series of monoclonal antibodies revealed an increased expression upon thrombin stimulation, confirming the presence of an intracellular granular pool. The observation that CD9 and GPIIb-- IIIa are stored in the same intracellular structures and migrate to the same activation zones after platelet stimulation lends support to previous suggestions of a close association between CD9 and GPIIb--IIIa in human platelets and of a possible involvement of CD9 in adhesive functions of platelets
