The functions of YB-1 in different Cancers

S.No. Hallmarks of Cancer Regulated gene/Pathways
1 Uncontrolled Proliferation Signalling Regulates E2F pathways
Regulates PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway
Regulates Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway
Regulates MAPK pathway
2 Evading Growth Suppressors and cell cycle checkpoints Inhibits RB (gatekeeper protein) pathway
Inhibits p53 (tumour suppressor protein) pathway
3 Resisting cell death Inhibits BAX and CASP7-mediated apoptosis
Inhibit Fas-mediated apoptosis pathway
Proliferation of E2F target genes
4 Enabling replicative immortality Activation of telomere maintenance mechanism
Loss of RB checkpoints
Loss of p53 function
5 Inducing angiogenesis Activate pro-angiogenic genes such as VEGF-A, FDGF-B, IL-8, CXCL-2
6 Activating invasion and metastasis Regulates SNAI1, LEF1 and TWIST1 to repress CDH1 gene (E-cadherin)
Regulate TGF-β, Wnt pathway proteins and Notch 3 receptor
7 Deregulating energy metabolism Regulating PI3K/Akt/mTOR, Myc, PKM2, RB/E2F1 and p53 pathway
8 Evading immune dystruction Regulation of gene encoding MHC Class II and Fas
Regulation of TGF-β pathway
9 Tumour promoting inflammation Regulates expression of mTOR, STAT3, MMP-2, CD44, CCL5 AND CCL2
