RÉSUMÉ
The ABRACL protein, the regulator of actin and cell motility, belongs to the HSPC280 family, and its conserved hydrophobic groove can interact with other proteins to facilitate actin motility and cellular activity. ABRACL is upregulated in tumor tissues and is closely linked with the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. A deeper understanding of the role of ABRACL in tumorigenesis and development may provide new ideas and insights for ABRACL to prevent or reverse tumor progression.
RÉSUMÉ
In non-small cell lung cancer( NSCLC),a major characteristic is the abnormal methylation of some certain genes. The hypomethylation of proto-oncogene has the potential to promote carcinogenesis and the formation of neoplasm may also be induced by the hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes. Meanwhile, the balance between histone acetylation and deacetylation is closely connected to the tumorigenesis. While the histone acetyltransferases can directly acetylate genes related to proliferation,causing cell growth and transfor-mation,histone deacetylase will also alter the level of acetylation of certain proteins,and eventually affect NSCLC. Hence,these abnormal epigenetic modifications play a fundamental role in the formation and develop-ment of NSCLC.
