Implication of DLG2 as a tumour suppressor in cancer • One of the most disorganized genetic networks in metastatic OS tumours. • The PRKCε, RASGPR3 and GNB2 networks are potential effectors of DLG2 • Tumour suppressor function of dlg2 in Drosophila • Scribble complex (SCRIB, DLG1-4 and LGL1/2) deregulation in Prostate Cancer • DLG2 implicated in Wilms Tumour
DLG2 (discs, large homolog 2) • Channel associated protein of synapse 110 • Chromosome 11q14 • Member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family. • PDZ domains; interaction with signalling proteins at postsynaptic sites • SH3 domains are found in proteins of signaling pathways regulating the cytoskeleton and regulate the activity state of adaptor proteins and other tyrosine kinases • GuKinase Domain; catalyzes ATP-dependent phosphorylation of GMP to GDP • Gene: 2 MB, 33 alternative spliced transcripts • Longest transcript :3.7KB, 26 Exons • Expression site: Brain, hypothalamus
Relative Expression of DLG2 in OS tumours and cell-lines Deletion of DLG2 gene detected by SNP array
Work in Progress • SiRNA Knockdown of the DLG2 Gene in U2OS • 70% knockdown at 72 hours • The effect of DLG2 knockdown in • Cell viability and growth by XTT assay • Migration by scratch assay • Sequencing of DLG2 gene for inactivating mutations
CONCLUSION • We identified a 53-gene expression signature that may predict outcome • of OS patients with localized tumours. • High-resolution approaches identified candidate pathways and networks that may be biologically relevant in OS. • Cell morphology and organization pathways may be involved in OS metastasis. • A large number of chromosomal aberrations were detected in OS tumours by SNP array technology. • The DLG2 gene that is deleted in 20 percent of the OS cases and belonging to a significantly disorganized metastatic OS network and was chosen for further functional analysis. • Further experiments will be performed to investigate the functional role of DLG2 in cell growth, proliferation and migration.

During progression from tumour growth to metastasis, specific integrin signals enable cancer cells to detach from neighbouring cells, re-orientate their polarity during migration, and survive and proliferate in foreign microenvironments. There is increasing evidence that certain integrins associate with receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) to activate signalling pathways that are necessary for tumour invasion and metastasis. The effect of these integrins might be especially important in cancer cells that have activating mutations, or amplifications, of the genes that encode these RTKs.
