FOXO1

MIM.136533 13q14.1 HGNC.3819

Pathology

- PAX3/FOXOA1 or PAX7/FOXOA1 fusion genes in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma

- deletion in cancer

Deletion at FOXO1A was detected in 31% to 34% in 6 cell lines, 27 xenografts, and 72 clinical specimens of prostate cancer, and was significantly more frequent than deletions at surrounding loci. (#16849544#)

FOXO1A was transcriptionally down-regulated in some prostate cancers. Functionally, ectopic expression of FOXO1A inhibited, and its knockdown promoted, cell proliferation or survival. (#16849544#)

FOXO1A inhibited androgen- and androgen receptor-mediated gene regulation and cell proliferation. (#16849544#)

FOXO1A is the 13q14 tumor suppressor gene, at least in prostate cancer. (#16849544#)

As a well-established negative effector in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT signaling pathway, FOXO1A inactivation in cancer would impair the therapeutic effect of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT inhibitors in cancer treatment. (#16849544#)
