Objective: To investigate the expression of Jade-1 and β-catenin and their effect in the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Methods: The expression of Jade-1 and β-catenin in 11 normal kidney tissue specimens (normal group) and 60 RCC specimens (RCC group) was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Also, their effect on early relapses of RCC was analyzed after 5 years of follow-up.
Results: The expression of Jade-1 protein in the RCC group was significantly lower than that in the normal group (0.1655 vs 0.7438, P < .05), and the expression of β-catenin protein was significantly greater than that in the normal group (0.2756 vs 0.0855, P < .05). The expression of Jade-1 mRNA in the RCC group was 0.202 times that in the normal group, which were lower (P < .05). The expression of β-catenin mRNA was 1.014 times that in the normal group (P > .05). The expression of Jade-1 protein and β-catenin protein in poorly differentiated RCC specimens was significantly lower and higher than the expression in the well-differentiated RCC specimen (P < .05), respectively. Patients with negative Jade-1 expression and positive β-catenin expression were found to have shorter survival on univariate analysis (P < .05).
Conclusion: RCC with a low expression of Jade-1 and high expression of β-catenin is associated with a poor outcome and decreased survival.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) incidence has been rising in recent years, with strong association between differential microRNA (miRNA) expression and neoplastic progression. Specifically, overexpression of miR-155-5p has been associated with promoting aggressive cancer in ccRCC and other cancers. In this study, we further investigate the role of this miRNA and one of its protein targets, Jade-1, to better understand the mechanism behind aggressive forms of ccRCC.

Background: Recent studies have emphasized determining the ability of microRNAs (miRNAs) as crucial regulators in the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer (PC), which continues to be one of the deadliest malignancies with few effective therapies. The study aimed to investigate the functional role of miR-135b and its associated mechanism to unravel the biological characteristics of tumor growth in pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs).
Methods: Microarray analyses were initially performed to identify the PC-related miRNAs and genes.

HBO1 complexes are major acetyltransferase responsible for histone H4 acetylation in vivo, which belongs to the MYST family. As the core catalytic subunit, HBO1 consists of an N-terminal domain and a C-terminal MYST domain that are in charge of acetyl-CoA binding and acetylation reaction. HBO1 complexes are multimeric and normally consist of two native subunits MEAF6, ING4 or ING5 and two kinds of cofactors as chromatin reader: Jade-1/2/3 and BRPF1/2/3.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL) mRNA expression and jade family PHD finger 1 (Jade-1) gene expression in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Another aim of this study was to analyze the relationship of these two genes with clinicalpathological features of the RCC patients.
Methods: A total of 75 RCC patients who received surgically therapy in our hospital were included.

Tight regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is critical for vertebrate development and tissue maintenance, and deregulation can lead to a host of disease phenotypes, including developmental disorders and cancer. Proteins associated with primary cilia and centrosomes have been demonstrated to negatively regulate canonical Wnt signaling in interphase cells. The plant homeodomain zinc finger protein Jade-1 can act as an E3 ubiquitin ligase-targeting β-catenin for proteasomal degradation and concentrates at the centrosome and ciliary basal body in addition to the nucleus in interphase cells.
