    Functionally defective germline variants of sialic acid acetylesterase in autoimmunity (2010)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2010-06-18
    Description: Sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE) is an enzyme that negatively regulates B lymphocyte antigen receptor signalling and is required for the maintenance of immunological tolerance in mice. Heterozygous loss-of-function germline rare variants and a homozygous defective polymorphic variant of SIAE were identified in 24/923 subjects of European origin with relatively common autoimmune disorders and in 2/648 controls of European origin. All heterozygous loss-of-function SIAE mutations tested were capable of functioning in a dominant negative manner. A homozygous secretion-defective polymorphic variant of SIAE was catalytically active, lacked the ability to function in a dominant negative manner, and was seen in eight autoimmune subjects but in no control subjects. The odds ratio for inheriting defective SIAE alleles was 8.6 in all autoimmune subjects, 8.3 in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, and 7.9 in subjects with type I diabetes. Functionally defective SIAE rare and polymorphic variants represent a strong genetic link to susceptibility in relatively common human autoimmune disorders.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900412/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900412/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Surolia, Ira -- Pirnie, Stephan P -- Chellappa, Vasant -- Taylor, Kendra N -- Cariappa, Annaiah -- Moya, Jesse -- Liu, Haoyuan -- Bell, Daphne W -- Driscoll, David R -- Diederichs, Sven -- Haider, Khaleda -- Netravali, Ilka -- Le, Sheila -- Elia, Roberto -- Dow, Ethan -- Lee, Annette -- Freudenberg, Jan -- De Jager, Philip L -- Chretien, Yves -- Varki, Ajit -- MacDonald, Marcy E -- Gillis, Tammy -- Behrens, Timothy W -- Bloch, Donald -- Collier, Deborah -- Korzenik, Joshua -- Podolsky, Daniel K -- Hafler, David -- Murali, Mandakolathur -- Sands, Bruce -- Stone, John H -- Gregersen, Peter K -- Pillai, Shiv -- AI 064930/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI 068759/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI 076505/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AR 022263/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- AR 044422/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- AR 058481/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- NS 32765/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK043351/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI064930/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI064930-04/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068759/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068759-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076505/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076505-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR044422/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR044422-13/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- RC1 AR058481/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- RC1 AR058481-01/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jul 8;466(7303):243-7. doi: 10.1038/nature09115.

    Gefitinib-sensitizing EGFR mutations in lung cancer activate anti-apoptotic pathways (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-07-31
    Description: Gefitinib (Iressa, Astra Zeneca Pharmaceuticals) is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and induces dramatic clinical responses in nonsmall cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) with activating mutations within the EGFR kinase domain. We report that these mutant EGFRs selectively activate Akt and signal transduction and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathways, which promote cell survival, but have no effect on extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling, which induces proliferation. NSCLC cells expressing mutant EGFRs underwent extensive apoptosis after small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of the mutant EGFR or treatment with pharmacological inhibitors of Akt and STAT signaling and were relatively resistant to apoptosis induced by conventional chemotherapeutic drugs. Thus, mutant EGFRs selectively transduce survival signals on which NSCLCs become dependent; inhibition of those signals by gefitinib may contribute to the drug's efficacy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sordella, Raffaella -- Bell, Daphne W -- Haber, Daniel A -- Settleman, Jeffrey -- P01 95281/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Aug 20;305(5687):1163-7.

    An X chromosome gene, WTX, is commonly inactivated in Wilms tumor (2007)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2007-01-06
    Description: Wilms tumor is a pediatric kidney cancer associated with inactivation of the WT1 tumor-suppressor gene in 5 to 10% of cases. Using a high-resolution screen for DNA copy-number alterations in Wilms tumor, we identified somatic deletions targeting a previously uncharacterized gene on the X chromosome. This gene, which we call WTX, is inactivated in approximately one-third of Wilms tumors (15 of 51 tumors). Tumors with mutations in WTX lack WT1 mutations, and both genes share a restricted temporal and spatial expression pattern in normal renal precursors. In contrast to biallelic inactivation of autosomal tumor-suppressor genes, WTX is inactivated by a monoallelic "single-hit" event targeting the single X chromosome in tumors from males and the active X chromosome in tumors from females.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rivera, Miguel N -- Kim, Woo Jae -- Wells, Julie -- Driscoll, David R -- Brannigan, Brian W -- Han, Moonjoo -- Kim, James C -- Feinberg, Andrew P -- Gerald, William L -- Vargas, Sara O -- Chin, Lynda -- Iafrate, A John -- Bell, Daphne W -- Haber, Daniel A -- P01-CA101942/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA054358/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA054358-17/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37-CA058596/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- T32-CA009216/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Feb 2;315(5812):642-5.
