Ascending Colon Cancer with Hepatic Metastasis and Cholecystolithiasis in a Patient with Situs Inversus Totalis Without Any Expression of UVRAG mRNA: Report of a Case

Abstract: Situs inversus totalis refers to an inverted position of part or all of the viscera, which represents a mirror-image of the normal location, and it is a relatively rare condition that occurs in one in 4,000-8,000 people in Japan. We herein report a patient demonstrating a combination of situs inversus totalis, colon cancer with hepatic metastasis, and cholecystolithiasis, who was treated surgically. We found no expression of UVRAG mRNA in our case, thus suggesting that the UVRAG gene is partly responsible for … Show more

“…146 Mutation of UVRAG is frequently observed in various human cancers and may be responsible for the etiology of these cancers. [147][148][149][150] UVRAG is critical for DNA repair and chromosomal stability, especially in response to radiation. [151][152][153] Using GST affinity isolation, UVRAG was identified as a binding partner of BECN1-PIK3C3, which directly interacts with BECN1 via its CCD.…”

“…It maps to a tumor-susceptibility locus on human chromosome 11q13 that is frequently implicated in common human cancers, including breast, colorectal and gastric cancers. [15][16][17][18] UVRAG consists of four major regions: the proline-rich (PR) domain (residues 1-41), the calcium-dependent lipid-binding C2 domain (residues 42-147), the coiled-coil domain (CCD, residues 200-269) and a C-terminal domain (residues 270-699) presumed to be unstructured (Fig. 1A).…”

“…[11][12][13][14] Interestingly, as seen with Beclin 1, UVRAG is monoallelically mutated in various human colon cancer cells and tissues, suggesting that UVRAG is a tumor suppressor candidate. We also demonstrate that recovery of UVRAG expression in autophagy-defective human HCT116 colon cancer cells that carry a monoallelic mutation in the UVRAG gene leads to the extensive accumulation of autophagosomes, whereas RNAi-mediated knockdown of UVRAG in autophagy-competent cells prevents the accretion of autophagosomes.…”
