Amplification and overexpression of vinculin are associated with increased tumor cell proliferation and progression in advanced prostate cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We analyzed the 10q22 amplification in advanced prostate cancer and subjected the genes located in the common amplified region to an RNAi screen. We found vinculin as the most promising candidate gene and analyzed its protein expression on more than 400 prostate cancers by using the tissue micrarray (TMA) technology. We discovered a strong correlation between amplification of the vinculin gene and increased protein expression. Further, vinculin protein expression was strongly associated with increased tumor cell proliferation.
