Gene Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif and is similar to the polycomb group (PcG) gene products. PcG gene products form complexes via protein-protein interaction and maintain the transcription repression of genes involved in embryogenesis, cell cycles, and tumorigenesis. This protein was shown to act as a negative regulator of transcription and has tumor suppressor activity. The expression of this gene was detected in various tumor cells, but is limited in neural organs in normal tissues. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this protein may negatively regulate the expression of different cytokines, chemokines, and chemokine receptors, and thus plays an important role in lymphocyte differentiation and migration, as well as in immune responses.

Role of MEL-18 Amplification in Anti-HER2 Therapy of Breast Cancer

HER2 is a receptor that can trigger oncogenic signals, which can be amplified in breast cancer. Under study was the connection between amplification of the MEL-18 gene and HER2-positive breast cancer. FISH analysis was used to verify the amplification of MEL-18. Our PCGF2 FISH probe was used to monitor the number of gene copies. It was determined that amplification of MEL-18 is a unique biomarker for HER2-positive breast cancer.
