摘要
The pituitary tumor transforming gene (PUG) is a multifunctional proto-oncogene that is over-expressed in various tumors including thyroid carcinomas, where it is a prognostic indicator of tumor recurrence. PUG has potent transforming capabilities in vitro and in vivo, and many studies have investigated the potential mechanisms by which PUG contributes to tumorigenesis. As the human securin, PUG is involved in critical mechanisms of cell cycle regulation, whereby aberrant expression induces aneuploidy. PUG may further contribute to tumorigenesis through its role in DNA damage response pathways and via complex interactions with hormones and growth factors. Furthermore, PUG over-expression negatively impacts upon the efficacy of radioiodine therapy in thyroid cancer, through repression of expression and function of the sodium iodide symporter. Given its various roles at all disease stages, PUG appears to be an important oncogene in thyroid cancer. This review discusses the current knowledge of PUG with particular focus on its role in thyroid cancer. (J. Endocrinol. Invest. 35: 425-433, 2012) (C)2012, Editrice Kurtis
