Expression of PTTG (pituitary Tumor transforming gene) in esophageal cancer

TL;DR: In this paper, a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed on 48 esophageal cancer specimens and the results showed that PTTG1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in tumors with higher pathological stage (IV vs 0-III, P = 0.0442) or more extensive lymph node metastasis (pathological N factor; N4 vs N0-3, P
Journal ArticleDOI

Chfr expression is downregulated by CpG island hypermethylation in esophageal cancer

TL;DR: It is reported here that a significant proportion of human esophageal cancer has loss of expression of Chfr gene, and aberrant hypermethylation of the promoter region of this checkpoint gene is found in four of 15 esophagal cancer cell lines and in seven of 43 primary cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene expression is correlated with poor prognosis in patients with esophageal cancer.

TL;DR: The mRNA expression level of PPAR gamma may be a marker of prognosis after operation in esophageal cancer patients and this work examined the correlation between the expression of PPar gamma mRNA with prognosis of esophagesia cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aberrant nuclear localization of β-catenin without genetic alterations in β-catenin or Axin genes in esophageal cancer

TL;DR: A fraction of esophageal squamous cell carcinomas have abnormal nuclear accumulation of β-catenin accompanied with increased cyclin D1 expression, and mutational change was found in β-Catenin exon 3 in the four cases with nuclear β- catenin staining.
