Expression of the CTCF-paralogous cancer-testis gene, brother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS), is regulated by three alternative promoters modulated by CpG methylation and by CTCF and p53 transcription factors. |
|
|
BORIS, like other members of the 'cancer/testis antigen' family, is normally expressed in testicular germ cells and repressed in somatic cells, but is aberrantly activated in cancers. To understand re...

Expression of BORIS in melanoma: Lack of association with MAGE-A1 activation. |
|
|
Several genes with specific expression in germ cells show aberrant activation in different types of tumors. These genes, termed cancer-germline (CG) genes, encode tumor-specific antigens, which repres...

Dynamic transcriptional regulatory complexes including BORIS, CTCF and Sp1 modulate NY-ESO-1 expression in lung cancer cells. |
|
|
Previously, we reported that the paralogous zinc-finger proteins--CTCF and brother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS), directly contribute to transcriptional regulation of NY-ESO-1 in lung ca...

Global expression analysis of cancer/testis genes in uterine cancers reveals a high incidence of BORIS expression. |
|
|
PURPOSE: Cancer/testis (CT) genes predominantly expressed in the testis (germ cells) and generally not in other normal tissues are aberrantly expressed in human cancers. This highly restricted express...

Evolutionary diversification of SPANX-N sperm protein gene structure and expression. |
|
|
The sperm protein associated with nucleus in the X chromosome (SPANX) genes cluster at Xq27 in two subfamilies, SPANX-A/D and SPANX-N. SPANX-A/D is specific for hominoids and is fairly well characteri...

Elicitation of T cell responses to histologically unrelated tumors by immunization with the novel cancer-testis antigen, brother of the regulator of imprinted sites. |
|
|
Brother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS) was previously described as a transcription factor for epigenetic reprogramming the expression of which is strictly confined to germ cells of adult ...

Epigenetic control of CTCFL/BORIS and OCT4 expression in urogenital malignancies. |
|
|
Aberrant hypomethylation in many cancers reactivates retrotransposons and selected single-copy genes such as cancer-testis antigens. Genes reactivated in this manner have recently been postulated to i...

The potential of BORIS detected in the leukocytes of breast cancer patients as an early marker of tumorigenesis. |
|
|
PURPOSE: Brother of the regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS) is a novel member of the cancer-testis antigen gene family. These genes are normally expressed only in spermatocytes but abnormally activat...

The testis-specific factor CTCFL cooperates with the protein methyltransferase PRMT7 in H19 imprinting control region methylation. |
|
|
Expression of imprinted genes is restricted to a single parental allele as a result of epigenetic regulation-DNA methylation and histone modifications. Igf2/H19 is a reciprocally imprinted locus exhib...

Antitumor efficacy of DNA vaccination to the epigenetically acting tumor promoting transcription factor BORIS and CD80 molecular adjuvant. |
|
|
Cancer testis (CT) antigens are promising candidates for tumor vaccines due to their immunogenicity and tissue-restricted expression. Recently, we identified a novel cancer testis gene, BORIS, whose e...

Genomic and expression profiling of human spermatocytic seminomas: primary spermatocyte as tumorigenic precursor and DMRT1 as candidate chromosome 9 gene. |
|
|
Spermatocytic seminomas are solid tumors found solely in the testis of predominantly elderly individuals. We investigated these tumors using a genome-wide analysis for structural and numerical chromos...

Reciprocal binding of CTCF and BORIS to the NY-ESO-1 promoter coincides with derepression of this cancer-testis gene in lung cancer cells. |
|
|
Regulatory sequences recognized by the unique pair of paralogous factors, CTCF and BORIS, have been implicated in epigenetic regulation of imprinting and X chromosome inactivation. Lung cancers exhibi...
