T1 |
0-84 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Homozygously deleted gene DACH1 regulates tumor-initiating activity of glioma cells. |
T2 |
85-170 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Loss or reduction in function of tumor suppressor genes contributes to tumorigenesis. |
T3 |
171-397 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here, by allelic DNA copy number analysis using single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping array and mass spectrometry, we report homozygous deletion in glioblastoma multiformes at chromosome 13q21, where DACH1 gene is located. |
T4 |
398-499 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We found decreased cell proliferation of a series of glioma cell lines by forced expression of DACH1. |
T5 |
500-623 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We then generated U87TR-Da glioma cells, where DACH1 expression could be activated by exposure of the cells to doxycycline. |
T6 |
624-850 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both ex vivo cellular proliferation and in vivo growth of s.c. transplanted tumors in mice are reduced in U87TR-Da cells with DACH1 expression (U87-DACH1-high), compared with DACH1-nonexpressing U87TR-Da cells (U87-DACH1-low). |
T7 |
851-972 |
Sentence |
denotes |
U87-DACH1-low cells form spheroids with CD133 and Nestin expression in serum-free medium but U87-DACH1-high cells do not. |
T8 |
973-1149 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Compared with spheroid-forming U87-DACH1-low cells, adherent U87-DACH1-high cells display lower tumorigenicity, indicating DACH1 decreases the number of tumor-initiating cells. |
T9 |
1150-1357 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Gene expression analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay reveal that fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2/bFGF) is transcriptionally repressed by DACH1, especially in cells cultured in serum-free medium. |
T10 |
1358-1575 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Exogenous bFGF rescues spheroid-forming activity and tumorigenicity of the U87-DACH1-high cells, suggesting that loss of DACH1 increases the number of tumor-initiating cells through transcriptional activation of bFGF. |
T11 |
1576-1773 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results illustrate that DACH1 is a distinctive tumor suppressor, which does not only suppress growth of tumor cells but also regulates bFGF-mediated tumor-initiating activity of glioma cells. |
