PTN Gene

HGNC Family Endogenous ligands
Name pleiotrophin
Description The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted heparin-binding growth factor. The protein has significant roles in cell growth and survival, cell migration, angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPleiotrophin (PTN) is a multifunctional, heparin‐binding cytokine that modulates cell growth, differentiation, and migration via interactions with specific cell surface receptors. Structural and mechanistic studies have revealed that PTN engages receptors such as the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase β/ζ through defined chondroitin sulfate moieties that control receptor oligomerization and subsequent activation of key signaling cascades. Detailed analyses and reviews have emphasized that this ligand–receptor interplay is critical in controlling downstream pathways involved in survival and cytoskeletal remodeling."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "6"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn several human cancers, PTN acts as a potent promoter of tumor progression and microenvironmental remodeling. In glioblastomas, for example, studies have shown that PTN is secreted by tumor‐associated macrophages or by the tumor cells themselves; its paracrine action via receptors such as ALK and protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor zeta (PTPRZ1) supports glioma stem cell maintenance and enhances invasive behavior. Moreover, distinct naturally occurring isoforms of PTN have been found to differentially regulate tumor cell proliferation (via an ALK‐dependent mechanism) versus migration (via a PTPRZ1‐dependent mechanism) in glioblastoma, while PTN overexpression in breast, prostate, lung, ovarian, and hepatitis B virus–associated hepatocellular carcinomas correlates with enhanced cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and poor patient prognosis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "7", "end_ref": "18"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPTN also exerts significant neurotrophic and developmental functions.
