During B- and T-cell ontogeny, extensive apoptosis occurs at distinct stages of development. Agents that increase intracellular levels of cAMP induce apoptosis in thymocytes and mature B cells, prompting us to investigate the role of cAMP signaling in human CD10+ B-precursor cells.

Abstract
Seven in absentia homolog1 (SIAH1) was reported as a tumor suppressor and played an important role in regulating cell apoptosis. However, its effects on the breast carcinogenesis remain unclear. In this study, our aims were to examine the relationship between SIAH1 and Bclβ2βinteracting mediator of cell death (Bim) and to explore the effects of SIAH1 on the breast carcinogenesis. Immunohistochemical analysis in 231 cases of breast tissues showed that the expression of SIAH1 and Bim were significantly decreased in the breast carcinogenesis. Moreover, SIAH1 expression was significantly correlated with Bim. Both SIAH1 and Bim expression were significantly higher in well to moderately differentiated and in earlyβstage breast cancer. Reverse transcription (RT)βpolymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot analysis in paired breast cancer tissues and breast cell lines found that the expression of SIAH1 was lower in the breast cancer tissues and cell lines. SIAH1 inducing apoptosis of the breast cancer cells was dependent on Bim. However, SIAH1 inhibiting invasion of the breast cancer cells was independent of Bim. The increase of the function of SIAH1 to upregulate the expression of Bim may play an important role in the progression of breast cancer. Restoration of the function of SIAH1 may be a new therapeutic target of human breast cancer. Β© 2010 WileyβLiss, Inc.
