摘要: 母源性印记基因3(MEG3)是一种肿瘤抑制基因,其转录产物不编码蛋白,属长链非编码RNA。在人类多种肿瘤组织及细胞株中存在MEG3基因表达缺失,DNA甲基化程度升高等机制与之密切相关。研究表明,MEG3基因及其转录产物能够抑制肿瘤细胞增殖,并促进肿瘤细胞凋亡,其抑癌机制与肿瘤抑制基因p53的作用密不可分。

Abstract: Maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) is a tumorsuppressing gene, and MEG3 RNAs, its products, are a series of long noncoding RNAs. The MEG3 gene is lost in kinds of human tumors, further more, the methylation of related DNA region is directly associated with the deficiency of MEG3 expression. Studies show that MEG3 gene and MEG3 RNAs can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, which is associated with the fuction of tumor suppressor gene p53.
