However, they were also recently shown to act as dependence receptors. Such receptors induce apoptosis when unbound to their ligand. We show here that the expression of the human UNC5A, UNC5B, or UNC5C is down-regulated in multiple cancers including colorectal, breast, ovary, uterus, stomach, lung, or kidney cancers. In colorectal tumors, this down-regulation is associated with loss of heterozygosity occurring within UNC5A, UNC5B, and UNC5C genes but may also be partially related to epigenetic processes because histone deacetylase inhibitor increased UNC5C expression in various cancer cell lines. Moreover, sequencing of UNC5C gene in patients with colorectal tumors revealed the presence of missense mutations. The lossreduction of expression may be a crucial mechanism for tumorigenicity because the expression of UNC5H1, UNC5H2, or UNC5H3 inhibits tumor cell anchorage-independent growth and invasion. Moreover, these hallmarks of malignant transformation can be restored by netrin-1 addition or apoptosis inhibition. Hence, UNC5H1, UNC5H2, and UNC5H3 receptors may represent tumor suppressors that inhibit tumor extension outside the region of netrin-1 availability by inducing apoptosis."xsd:string |
