PYGO2 Antibody

1. Elevated PYGO2 expression in primary prostate adenocarcinoma is a potential risk factor for biochemical recurrence. PMID: 28924059
2. Overexpression of Pygo2 facilitated the expression of P-glycoprotein, which acts as a drug efflux pump, by promoting the transcription of MDR1 at the MDR1 promoter loci, resulting in acceleration of the efflux of paclitaxel in human glioma cells. PMID: 28427190
3. We also determined the effect of Pygo2 on the sensitivity of breast tumors resistant to doxorubicin in a mouse model. Finally, RNA samples from 64 paired patient tumors (before and after chemotherapy) highly and significantly overexpressed Pygo2 and/or MDR1 after treatment, thus underlining a pivotal role for the Pygo2-mediated Wnt/b-catenin pathway in the clinical chemoresistance of breast cancer. PMID: 26876203
4. Findings are consistent with a model in which acetylation of Pygo2 by CBP/p300 family members in the active TCF/beta-catenin complex occurs coincident with histone acetylation and may be required for the recycling of Pygo2 away from the complex subsequent to target gene activation. PMID: 27647933
5. The activation of its expression by ERalpha and/or specificity protein-1 (SP1) suggests hPYGO2 as a theranostic target for hormone therapy responsive and refractory breast cancer. PMID: 26645832
6. Pygo2 functions as a prognostic factor for glioma due to its up-regulation of H3K4me3 and promotion of MLL1/MLL2 complex recruitment. PMID: 26902498
7. this study demonstrated that SNPs in the coding region of Pygo2 might be one of the causative factors in idiopathic oligospermia and azoospermia, resulting in male infertility. PMID: 26345837
8. Our findings suggest that Pygopus-2 may be an important predictor of poor outcome in HCC patients, and could serve as a novel biomarker for HCC. PMID: 25545771
9. Pygopus-2 over-expression is associated with hepatic carcinoma. PMID: 25871475
10. Pygo2 is a common node downstream of oncogenic Wnt and Akt signaling pathways. PMID: 26170450
11. The results of the present study suggest a novel involvement of Pygo in the promotion of rRNA transcription in cancer cells PMID: 23517060
12. We conclude that abnormal Pygo2 protein expression may be a marker for advanced non-small cell lung cancer PMID: 23865714
13. PYGO2 is identified as a new molecular marker of invasive tumors in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. PMID: 23456637
14. SNPs in the coding region of Pygo2 gene may be one of the causative factors in idiopathic oligospermia and azoospermia, resulting in male infertility. PMID: 23732668
15. Pygo2 directly occupies the promoters of multiple histone genes and enhances the acetylation of lysine 56 in histone H3. PMID: 22186018
16. Pygo2 is highly expressed in and promotes the growth of glioma cells PMID: 20361361
17. The study demonstrated that Pygo2 was highly expressed in glioma tissue and required for growth of glioblastoma cells. PMID: 20204459
18. Data show that Pygo2 associates with MLL2 histone methyltransferase and STAGA histone acetyltransferase to facilitate their interaction with beta-catenin and Wnt1-induced, TCF/LEF-dependent transactivation in breast cancer cells. PMID: 20937768
19. Pygo2 PHD is the only known PHD finger that is capable of interacting simultaneously with two functional ligands, B9L and BCL9 PMID: 20637214
20. The Expression of pygopus 2 protein mRNA levels were significantly higher in the epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines. PMID: 16609037
21. hPygo2 is highly expressed in, and required for the growth of breast carcinoma cells PMID: 17203217
22. These results provide new evidence that Elf-1 is involved in transcriptional activation of hPygo2. PMID: 18314487
23. Data support a model in which the NHD region of Pygopus is required to augment transcriptional activation by a mechanism that includes both transcriptional activation and histone acetylation resulting from the recruitment of the CBP. PMID: 19555349
