Overexpression of EIF5A2 promotes colorectal carcinoma cell aggressiveness by upregulating MTA1 through C-myc to induce epithelial–mesenchymaltransition
Background and AimsThe authors have previously isolated a putative oncogene, eukaryotic initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) from 3q26. In this study, EIF5A2 was characterised for its role in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) aggressiveness and underlying molecular mechanisms.MethodsThe expression dynamics of EI...

Zusammenfassung: | Background and AimsThe authors have previously isolated a putative oncogene, eukaryotic initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) from 3q26. In this study, EIF5A2 was characterised for its role in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) aggressiveness and underlying molecular mechanisms.MethodsThe expression dynamics of EIF5A2 were examined by immunohistochemistry in a cohort of carcinomatous and non-neoplastic colorectal tissues and cells. A series of in-vivo and in-vitro assays was performed to elucidate the function of EIF5A2 in CRC and its underlying mechanisms.ResultsThe overexpression of EIF5A2 was examined by immunohistochemistry in 102/229 (44.5%) CRC patients, and it was significantly correlated with tumour metastasis and determined to be an independent predictor of shortened survival (p |
