Transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein 2epsilon (AP2epsilon) modulates phenotypic plasticity and progression of malignant melanoma.
Title: Transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein 2ε (AP2ε) modulates phenotypic plasticity and progression of malignant melanoma.
In the present study, it was demonstrated that hypermethylation of TFAP2E resulted in its reduced expression and 5FU chemoresistance in gastric cancer (GC) cells. miRNAs miR106a5p and miR421 were highly expressed and regulated the chemoresistance induced by TFAP2E methylation.
Title: TFAP2E methylation promotes 5‑fluorouracil resistance via exosomal miR‑106a‑5p and miR‑421 in gastric cancer MGC‑803 cells.
TFAP2E methylation and expression may not play a major role in predicting response to 5-FU-based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer.
Title: TFAP2E Methylation and Expression Status Does Not Predict Response to 5-FU-based Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer.
Results showed that lower expression levels of TFAP2E are significantly associated with a shorter survival of patients with neuroblastoma indicating that TFAP2E acts as a tumor suppressor of neuroblastoma.
Title: Depletion of TFAP2E attenuates adriamycin-mediated apoptosis in human neuroblastoma cells.
Hypermethylation of TFAP2E was associated with lack of response to fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, indicating that it might be a potential predictor of treatment response in patients with gastric cancer.
Title: Transcription Factor AP2ε: A Potential Predictor of Chemoresistance in Patients With Gastric Cancer.
AP-2E was frequently hypermethylated in tumors from patients with colorectal cancer
Title: TFAP2E hypermethylation was associated with survival advantage in patients with colorectal cancer.
AP-2epsilon indirectly interacts with the core promoter of COL2A1 and subsequently inhibits its transcriptional activity, thus modulating cartilage development.
Title: The transcription factor activating enhancer-binding protein epsilon (AP-2ε) regulates the core promoter of type II collagen (COL2A1).
TFAP2E hypermethylation is associated with clinical nonresponsiveness to chemotherapy in colorectal cancer.
Title: TFAP2E-DKK4 and chemoresistance in colorectal cancer.
These findings reveal that Tfap2 activity, mediated redundantly by Tfap2a and Tfap2e, promotes melanophore differentiation in parallel with Mitf by an effector other than Kit.
Title: Differentiation of zebrafish melanophores depends on transcription factors AP2 alpha and AP2 epsilon.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
