Abstract
PTENP1 has been demonstrated to function as a tumor suppressor in several cancer cells. However, its expression and biological roles in gastric cancer (GC) have not yet been investigated. In this study, we demonstrated that PTENP1 was frequently decreased in GC tissues and cell lines, which might be partly associated with DNA hypermethylation, and lower PTENP1 expression was associated with larger tumor size, more advanced stage, deeper invasion depth and lymphatic metastasis. In addition, our data suggested that PTENP1 could regulate GC cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion in vitro. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PTENP1 could modulate the PTEN protein expression. Taken together, these results suggest that PTENP1 functions as a novel tumor suppressor in GC and its suppressive ability may be involved in the modulation of PTEN.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Signaling and enzymatic modulators in cancer treatment
Cancer accounts for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022 and is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are the most important approach for the treatment of several ...read more
