Abstract
Introduction: Yippee Like 1 (YPEL1) is a nuclear protein involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, senescence, and mammalian develop-ment. It plays a dual role in cancer, functioning as either an antitumor or tumor-promoting factor.
Methods: In the current study, via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) search, we found that YPEL1 is aberrantly expressed in various cancers. High expression of YPEL1 corre-lated with poorer survival outcomes, whereas low expression of YPEL1 was associated with improved overall survival of patients. YT cell lines and gemcitabine-resistant YT cell line (YT/Gem-R) exhibit elevated levels of the YPEL1 protein.
Result: Furthermore, we determined that knocking down YPEL1 in both YT cell and YT/Gem-R induces apoptosis and autophagy. Additionally, silencing YPEL1 significantly reduced the tumor growth the xenograft model.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that YPEL1 exhibits the potential for being used as a target for NK / T cell lymphoma treatment.
期刊介绍:
Current Cancer Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular drug targets involved in cancer, e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes and genes.
Current Cancer Drug Targets publishes original research articles, letters, reviews / mini-reviews, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited thematic issues written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in cancer.
As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-cancer drug discovery continues to grow; this journal has become essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
