Core Tip

Core tip: Calcyclin binding protein, also called Siah-1 interacting protein (CacyBP/SIP), is a component of the ubiquitination pathway. It can translocate to the cell nucleus. In colon cancer cells, it was found that gastrin, epidermal growth factor, prostaglandin E2 and hypoxia can induce CacyBP/SIP nuclear translocation. Our previous study found that CacyBP/SIP-positive staining was observed in the cytoplasm and nuclei of some cancer cells in gastric cancer tissues. Thus, there is considerable interest in determining whether CacyBP/SIP can translocate into the nucleus or not in gastric cancer cells, and whether nuclear translocation of CacyBP/SIP mediates the proliferation of gastric cancer cells.
