Overexpression of Cdc7 promotes progression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and that inhibition of Cdc7 is a very promising therapy for OSCC patients.
-
the immunohistochemical results and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database revealed that CDC7 was significantly upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, suggesting that miR888 may function as an oncogene in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma patients, and the miR888/CDC7 axis was not the dominant pathway for CDC7 regulation in patients with lung adenocarcinoma
-
High CDC7 expression is associated with oral cancer.
-
Inhibition of checkpoint kinase 1 following gemcitabine-mediated S phase arrest results in CDC7- and CDK2-dependent replication catastrophe.
-
Here, the authors show that, in human cells, cohesin loading onto chromosomes during early S phase requires the replicative helicase MCM2-7 and the kinase DDK. Cohesin and its loader SCC2/4 (NIPBL/MAU2 in humans) associate with DDK and phosphorylated MCM2-7.
-
CDC7-bound PGK1 converts ADP to ATP, thereby abrogating the inhibitory effect of ADP on CDC7-ASK activity, promoting the recruitment of DNA helicase to replication origins, DNA replication, cell proliferation, and brain tumorigenesis.
-
CDC7-DBF4 kinase (DDK) has a primary role in the replication checkpoint to promote single-stranded DNA accumulation at stalled forks, which is required to initiate a robust checkpoint response and cell cycle arrest to maintain genome integrity.
-
Higher expression of CDC7 in odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and radicular cyst was shown in comparison to dentigerous cyst, while radicular cyst and OKC groups showed no difference in CDC7 expression.
-
Results suggest a new role of Claspin in initiation of DNA replication during normal S phase through the recruitment of Cdc7 that facilitates phosphorylation of Mcm proteins.
-
Increased Cdc7-dependent replication initiation is a hallmark of p53 gain-of function mutations in lung adenocarcinoma.
-
Both CDC7 and DBF4 promoters bind E2F, suggesting that increased E2F activity in RB1 mutant cancers promotes increased DDK expression. Surprisingly, increased DDK expression levels are also correlated with both increased chemoresistance and genome-wide mutation frequencies.
-
p53-dependent control of CDC7 levels is essential for blocking G1/S cell-cycle transition upon genotoxic stress.
-
we propose that phosphorylation of TOP2A by CDC7/DBF4 in early S-phase prevents its localization and/or activity at centromeres, and inhibition of TOP2A function could be relevant to prevent premature separation of centromeric DNA.
-
The data support a model where Cdc7 (de)phosphorylation is the molecular switch for the activation and inactivation of DNA replication in mitosis, directly connecting Cdc7 and PP1a/Cdk1 to the regulation of once-per-cell cycle DNA replication in mammalian cells.
-
Our data show that Cdc7 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer
-
The presence of the index SNP rs1192415 (TGFBR3-CDC7) was associated with visual field progression in POAG (primary open-angle glaucoma) patients.
-
MiR-630 promoted apoptosis by downregulation of CDC7.
-
The state of DUE-B phosphorylation is maintained by the equilibrium between Cdc7-dependent phosphorylation and PP2A-dependent dephosphorylation.
-
The interaction between Claspin and Cdc7 is not dependent on Cdc7 kinase activity, but Claspin interaction with the DNA helicase subunit Mcm2 is lost upon Cdc7 inhibition.
-
huCdc7 may play an important role in the development and progression of colorectal cancer.
