Using a genetically defined human ovarian cancer model, we have analyzed the protein expression profile of human ovarian cancer cells established by oncogenic RAS transformation. Cells were immortalized by retroviral transfection of SV40 t/T antigens and the catalytic subunit of telomerase (hTERT). Careful analyses of protein targets associated with oncogenic transformation have enabled us to identify several novel signaling pathways that play important roles in oncogenic transformation of…

A Proteomic approach for protein‐profiling the oncogenic ras induced transformation (H‐, K‐, and N‐Ras) in NIH/3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblasts

The results obtained and presented here show that the comparative analysis of proteome from oncogenic ras expressing cells has yielded interpretable data to elucidate the differential protein expression directly and/or indirectly, and contributed to evaluate the possibilities for physiological, and therapeutic targets.

The Multifaceted Roles of the Tumor Susceptibility Gene 101 (TSG101) in Normal Development and Disease

This review provides a succinct overview of the main structural features of the TSG101 protein and their suggested roles in molecular and cellular functions, and summarizes critical issues that need to be addressed to gain a better understanding of biologically significant roles of TSG 101 in cancer.

Role of TSG101 in cancer.

The tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101) encodes a multidomain protein that contains a UEV (ubiquitin e2 variant) domain at is N-terminus and a putative DNA-binding motif at its C-terminus. In…

Prognostic significance of APE1 cytoplasmic localization in human epithelial ovarian cancer

It is found that cytoplasmic localization of APE1 is associated with tumor progression and might be a valuable prognostic marker for EOC, and a lower survival rate was found in patients with cytop lasmic positive localization of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1.

Proteomics analysis of H-RAS-mediated oncogenic transformation in a genetically defined human ovarian cancer model

It is demonstrated that functional proteomic analysis of a genetically defined cancer model provides a powerful approach toward systematically identifying cellular targets associated with oncogenic transformation.

Activation of Antioxidant Pathways in Ras-Mediated Oncogenic Transformation of Human Surface Ovarian Epithelial Cells Revealed by Functional Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry

Detailed analysis of protein targets suggests that activation of Ras-signaling pathways increases the threshold of reactive oxidative species (ROS) tolerance by up-regulating the overall antioxidant capacity of cells, especially in mitochondria.

A Genetically Defined Model for Human Ovarian Cancer

The transformed human ovarian surface epithelial cells recapitulated many features of natural ovarian cancer including a subtype of ovarian cancer histology, formation of ascites, CA125 expression, and nuclear factor-κB-mediated cytokine activation.

Up-regulation of Tumor Susceptibility Gene 101 Protein in Ovarian Carcinomas Revealed by Proteomics Analyses*

Results demonstrate that TSG101 is important for CITED2- and HIF-1α-mediated cellular regulation in ovarian carcinomas and a novel post-translational regulation of TSG 101 through the RAS/RAF/MEK/MAPK signaling pathway and downstream molecules p14ARF/HDM2.

C-erbB-2 or mutant Ha-ras induced malignant transformation of immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cells in vitro

Transfected genes reported to show their abnormalities in human ovarian cancers into human ovarian surface epithelial cells showed tumorigenicity, suggesting that c-erbB-2 or mutant Ha-ras genes might be involved in ovarian carcinogenesis.

Up-regulation of Tumor Susceptibility Gene 101 Conveys Poor Prognosis through Suppression of p21 Expression in Ovarian Cancer

TSG101 negatively regulates p21 levels, and up-regulation of TSG101 is associated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer, which is inversely correlated with clinicopathologic variables and survival.

Proteomic analysis and identification of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for invasive ovarian cancer

The 52 kDa FK506 binding protein, Rho G‐protein dissociation inhibitor (RhoGDI), and glyoxalase I are found to be uniquely overexpressed in invasive human ovarian cancer when compared to the LMP form of this cancer.

Organotypic culture of human ovarian surface epithelial cells: A potential model for ovarian carcinogenesis

Cells grown in organotypic culture resemble their in vivo counterparts, providing a basis for establishing a system to study growth, proliferation, differential gene expression, and perhaps malignant transformation of HOSE cells.

Creation of human tumour cells with defined genetic elements

It is shown that the ectopic expression of the telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) in combination with two oncogenes results in direct tumorigenic conversion of normal human epithelial and fibroblast cells.
