RIOX2 Gene

Name ribosomal oxygenase 2
Description MINA is a c-Myc (MYC; MIM 190080) target gene that may play a role in cell proliferation or regulation of cell growth. (Tsuneoka et al., 2002 [PubMed 12091391]; Zhang et al., 2005 [PubMed 15897898]).[supplied by OMIM, May 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRIOX2 is a member of the jumonji (JmjC) domain‐containing family of histone demethylases that modulate chromatin structure and gene expression. In renal cell tumors, for example, studies have demonstrated that RIOX2 transcripts are altered in tumor tissue compared with normal renal tissue—with higher expression detected in oncocytomas and in clear cell renal cell carcinoma cases that later develop metastasis. These findings imply that although RIOX2 expression varies among renal tumor subtypes, its overexpression may be linked to enhanced tumor aggressiveness and metastatic propensity, suggesting a potential role in renal tumorigenesis and progression."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn lung cancer, particularly lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, RIOX2 is also found to be highly expressed, with its transcript levels inversely correlated with methylation status. Despite this consistent overexpression, RIOX2 has not emerged as an independent prognostic biomarker in these malignancies. Nonetheless, the mechanistic implications of its dysregulation may provide valuable insights into the molecular underpinnings of lung cancer development and could inform improved therapeutic approaches in the future."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Maria João Ferreira, Ana Sílvia Pires-Luís, Márcia Vieira-Coimbra, et al.
