Truncated ETV1, Fused to Novel Tissue-Specific Genes, and Full-Length ETV1 in Prostate Cancer

Abstract: In this study, we describe the properties of novel ETV1 fusion genes, encoding N-truncated ETV1 (dETV1), and of full-length ETV1, overexpressed in clinical prostate cancer. We detected overexpression of novel ETV1 fusion genes or of full-length ETV1 in 10% of prostate cancers. Novel ETV1 fusion partners included FOXP1, an EST (EST14 ), and an endogenous retroviral repeat sequence (HERVK17). Like TMPRSS2, EST14 and HERVK17 were prostate-specific and androgen-regulated expressed. This unique expression pattern o… Show more

“…ETV1 is overexpressed in 5-10% of prostate cancers (Tomlins et al 2005, Hermans et al 2008a. ETV1 gene fusions lead to overexpression of a truncated ETV1 protein that lacks the N-terminal TAD domain (Fig.…”

“…ETS gene fusions in prostate cancer seem mutually exclusive, but in multifocal disease more than one fusion event can be found. ERG is predominantly fused to TMPRSS2, but ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5 have multiple fusion partners that all are located on different chromosomes (Table 1; Tomlins et al 2006, 2007, Attard et al 2008a, Han et al 2008, Helgeson et al 2008, Hermans et al 2008a,b, Clark & Cooper 2009, Rubin et al 2011. Interestingly, two of the fusion partners are endogenous retroviral HERV-K sequences that are apparently insignificant in the normal prostate.…”

“…2 To date, 14 genes (TMPRSS2, SLC45A3, HERV-K, KLK2, CANT1, FOXP1, HERVK17, EST14, FLJ35294, C15orf21, HNRPA2B1, DDX5, ACSL3 and NDRG1) have been identified as 5 0 fusion partners for the four ETS family transcription factor genes (ERG, ETV1, ETV4 and ETV5), resulting in 420 different fusion genes in prostate cancer. 2,3,4,5 Among these, approximately 90% occur between TMPRSS2 and ERG. 2 The association of the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion with prostate cancer prognosis has been evaluated in multiple studies but with contradictory results.…”
