DEAD box1基因与相关肿瘤的研究进展

DEAD box基因,DEAD box 1(DDX1),位于染色体2p24,过表达于视网膜母细胞瘤(retinoblastoma,RB)中,并与MYCN基因共同扩增在神经母细胞瘤(neuroblastoma,NB)和原发性肿瘤的细胞系中.最近研究发现在鼠的子宫内膜癌细胞中DDX1基因与MYCN基因共同扩增.经研究发现在多数生物体中都存在DEAD box蛋白.正如我们所意料,DDX1存在解旋酶区域,在体外DDX1蛋白表现有ATP酶和解旋酶的活性.目前,DDX1确切的功能和在肿瘤中的作用还在进一步的研究当中.现将DEAD box蛋白家族和DEAD box 1基因与肿瘤的关系进行综述.

Abstract：

DEAD box gene, DEAD box 1 ( DDX1 ) ,a gene mapping to the 2p24 region, was identified to be overexpressed in retinoblastoma and co-amplified with MYCN in neuroblastoma cell lines as well as in primary tumor specimens. DEAD box proteins are found in most organisms. As expected from the presence of the helicase domain, DDX 1 shows in vitro ATPase and RNA helicase activities. The exact function of DDX 1 and its role in the pathogenesis of cancer are still under investigation. Here, we review the DEAD box proteins family and the relationships with between DEAD box1 gene and tumor.
