Specific Cancer Types:
Sarcomas
Comments:
FGR appears to be an oncoprotein (OP). A Y523F mutation in Fgr is associated with strongly increased catalytic activity, which can be oncogenic and promote abnormal cell proliferation. Fgr oncogene mRNA was found to be induced in B lymphocytes by Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Bladder carcinomas (%CFC= -49, p<0.009); Cervical cancer (%CFC= -56, p<0.002); Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cRCC) (%CFC= +82, p<0.033); Colorectal adenocarcinomas (early onset) (%CFC= +117, p<0.005); and Lung adenocarcinomas (%CFC= -47, p<0.0001). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for FGR in diverse human cancers of 284, which is 0.6-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 25 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 0.4-fold of the average score of 60 for the human protein kinases.
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.07 % in 25231 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -1 % lower and is very similar to the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.52 % in 805 skin cancers tested; 0.24 % in 1093 large intestine cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 4 in 20,497 cancer specimens
Comments:
No deletions, insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
