Relationship between the Reduced Expression of Zinc Finger Protein 668 in Bladder Cancer and Its Invasiveness
The zinc finger protein 668 (ZNF668) gene encodes a Kruppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein with 16 C2H2-type zinc fingers. The ZNF668 gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer. We histologically analyzed ZNF668 protein expression in bladder cancer and examined mutations of the ZNF668...

description | The zinc finger protein 668 (ZNF668) gene encodes a Kruppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein with 16 C2H2-type zinc fingers. The ZNF668 gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer. We histologically analyzed ZNF668 protein expression in bladder cancer and examined mutations of the ZNF668 gene in 68 cases of bladder cancer. In bladder cancer, the ZNF668 protein was expressed in the nuclei of cancer cells. In bladder cancer with submucosal and muscular infiltration, the expression of ZNF668 protein was significantly lower than that without submucosal and muscular infiltration. Eight heterozygous somatic mutations were detected in exon3 in five cases, and five of the mutations resulted in amino acid sequence mutations. Mutations resulting in amino acid sequence alterations also resulted in lower ZNF668 protein expression in bladder cancer cell nuclei, but no significant association with bladder cancer infiltration was detected. Decreased ZNF668 expression in bladder cancer was associated with submucosal and muscle invasion of cancer cells. Somatic mutations resulting in amino acid mutations in ZNF668 were found in 7.3% of the bladder cancer cases. |
