Target Background

Function
Probable regulator of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway, a signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Along with WWC1 can synergistically induce the phosphorylation of LATS1 and LATS2 and can probably function in the regulation of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway. May act as a membrane stabilizing protein. May inhibit PI3 kinase by binding to AGAP2 and impairing its stimulating activity. Suppresses cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by inhibiting the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-VprBP/DCAF1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex.
Gene References into Functions
  1. lipid binding results in the open conformation of neurofibromin 2 and lipid binding is necessary for inhibiting cell proliferation PMID: 29626191
  2. Cell viability results showed that three agents (GSK2126458, Panobinostat, CUDC-907) had the greatest activity across schwannoma and meningioma cell systems, but merlin status did not significantly influence response PMID: 29897904
  3. Merlin loss increased oxidative stress causing aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling in in vitro. PMID: 28112165
  4. NF2 promoter gene mutations occurred in medulloblastoma (MB) patients. The NF2 mRNA expression was higher in the controls than in patients; however NF2 protein expression was significantly higher in patients than in the controls. NF2 protein was mainly expressed in the nucleus in MB patients, while the NF2 protein was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm in the controls. PMID: 29637450
  5. Study summarizes the current knowledge of molecular events triggered by NF2/merlin inactivation, which lead to the development of mesothelioma and other cancers. Genetic alterations in NF2 that abrogate merlin's functional activity are found in about 40% of malignant mesothelioma (MM), indicating the importance of NF2 inactivation in MM development and progression. [review] PMID: 29587439
  6. Study identified missense NF2 mutations in 1.9% hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 5.3% intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Allele frequency of NF2 IVS4-39 A/A was significantly higher in HCCs. Also, NF2/Merlin showed a dual role as a tumorigenic gene and tumor-suppressor gene; Merlin was expressed at higher levels in HCC tumors ; while the rate of Merlin upregulation was lower in poorly differentiated ICCs. PMID: 29130106
  7. This study demonstrates that simultaneous inhibition of c-Met and Src signaling in MD-MSCs triggers apoptosis and reveals vulnerable pathways that could be exploited to develop NF2 therapies. PMID: 28775147
  8. The genetic alterations observed in the NF2 gene indicated that spinal schwannomas are associated with genetic alterations also found in other schwannomas and type 2 Neurofibromatosis, which reinforces the etiological role of this gene. PMID: 29599333
  9. Methylation of NF2 and DNMT1 was markedly increased, and miR-152-3p was downregulated in GBM tissues and glioma cells. Both knockdown of DNMT1 and overexpression miR-152-3p showed that demethylation activated the expression of NF2. PMID: 28764788
  10. The acquired sensitivity to erlotinib supports the known crosstalk between MET and the HER family of receptors. For the first time, we show inactivation of NF2 during acquisition of resistance to MET-TKI that may explain the refractoriness to erlotinib in these cells. PMID: 28396363
  11. Genetic data coupled with transcriptomic data allowed the identification of a new malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM)molecular subgroup, C2(LN), characterized by a co-occurring mutation in the LATS2 and NF2 genes in the same MPM. MPM patients of this subgroup presented a poor prognosis. Coinactivation of LATS2 and NF2 leads to loss of cell contact inhibition between MPM cells PMID: 28003305
  12. The occurrance and evolvement of sporadic intraspinal Schwannomas have a close relationship with mutations of the NF2 gene. PMID: 28981922

  20. These findings uncover the significance of Merlin protein expression and Survivin labeling index as prognosticators for poor clinical outcome in two independent Malignant pleural mesothelioma cohorts. PMID: 27378628
  21. NF2 localizes in nucleus when Ser518 is not phosphorylated, while phosphorylated form is present in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Data suggest that binding of NF2 to TIMAP and EBP50 is critical in nuclear localization of NF2. (NF2 = neurofibromin 2; TIMAP = TGF-beta-inhibited membrane-associated protein; EBP50 = Ezrin-Radixin-Mosein binding phosphoprotein 50) PMID: 27871951

  25. IL-1beta Induces NF2 Promoter Methylation in Meningioma/Leptomeningeal Cells. PMID: 26840621
  26. The authors proposed that NF2 behaves as a protein sensing tissue damage and aromatase-driven local estrogen formation, eventually leading to regulation of stem cells differentiation and tissue repair by liver cancer cells. (Review) PMID: 27289045
  27. co-deletion of Rac1 with Nf2 blocks tumor initiation but paradoxically exacerbates hepatomegaly induced by Nf2 loss, which can be suppressed either by treatment with pro-oxidants or by co-deletion of Yap. PMID: 27818180
  28. Data suggest that, at least using the commercial antibodies used in this study, immunohistochemical staining for NF2 (neurofibromin 2), LATS2 (large tumor suppressor kinase 2), and YAP/TAZ (nuclear translocation of complex of Yes-associated protein [YAP] with transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif [TAZ]) is not helpful for differential diagnosis of mesothelioma versus a benign proliferation. PMID: 27128293
  29. The mortality of patients with NF2 diagnosed in more recent decades was lower than that of patients diagnosed earlier. PMID: 26275417
  30. AMOTL1 Promotes Breast Cancer Progression and Is Antagonized by Merlin PMID: 26806348
