AMACR Cancer Research Results

AMACR, alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: Protein-coding gene
An enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMACR gene.
AMACR is a valuable diagnostic marker because of its persistent and strong expression in case of needle biopsies.
(AMACR) is a mitochondrial and peroxisomal enzyme that is overexpressed in prostate cancer(PCa). AMACR is frequently used as a biomarker in prostate cancer diagnosis. Its expression is typically elevated in malignant prostate tissues compared to benign tissues. The overexpression of AMACR is associated with the presence of cancer and can aid in differentiating between cancerous and non-cancerous prostate tissues.
Other Cancers: In colorectal and breast cancers, AMACR expression has been associated with tumor progression and may serve as a prognostic marker. Elevated AMACR levels could indicate a more aggressive tumor phenotype, leading to worse survival rates.
AMACR is frequently overexpressed, allowing tumor cells to:
-Utilize branched-chain lipids as an energy and carbon source
-Support membrane synthesis and redox balance
-Thrive in nutrient-variable microenvironments
-AMACR is therefore best viewed as a metabolic enabler, not a classical oncogenic driver.

Prostate Cancer: Alterations in genes such as ERG, SPOP, MYC, androgen receptor (AR), and CHD1, drive PCa progression.
TP53 is the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer.
HH↑, GLI-1↑, SHH↑ P53↓
The loss of p53 and/or other tumor suppressor genes, reduced capacity for DNA repair, the dysfunction of telomerase activity, and changes in the pathways that govern the growth of cells also mediate the progression of Pca.
It has been well documented that Ca2+ influx and MDR1 upregulation are highly associated with GEM metabolism in human pancreatic carcinoma.
Increased Growth factor IGF-1/IGF-1R axis activation mediated by both PI3K/Akt or RAF/MEK/ERK system and AR expression remains important in the development and progression of prostate cancer.
It has been demonstrated that prostate cancer cells are relatively sensitive to heat stress.
Long non-coding RNA MALAT1 has been reported as an oncogenic target in multiple types of cancers, including PC.
