Type:
Diablo homolog is a mitochondrial protein that in humans is encoded by the DIABLO gene on chromosome 12. DIABLO is also referred to as second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases or SMAC. This protein binds inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, thus freeing caspases to activate apoptosis.
SMAC/Diablo is known to be a pro-apoptotic protein and its overexpression has been observed to oppose progression of a variety of tumor types. SMAC/Diablo possesses a new lipid synthesis-related function essential for cancer growth, rendering SMAC/Diablo a promising therapeutic target in cancer. Suggesting that the role of SMAC/Diablo in cancer can be a double-edged sword.

High levels of Diablo expression have been associated with increased sensitivity to chemotherapy and better prognosis in some cancers, as it may promote apoptosis in cancer cells. Conversely, low levels of Diablo expression might correlate with resistance to treatment and poorer outcomes.

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.
