Disease Linkage
Comments:
DCAMKL1 has been found to mark tumour stem cells in the polyps of Apc(Min/+) heterozygous mice, but not normal stem cells.
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: Breast epithelial hyperplastic enlarged lobular units (HELU) (%CFC= +170, p<0.103); Clear cell renal cell carcinomas (cRCC) (%CFC= +172, p<0.004); Prostate cancer - metastatic (%CFC= -54, p<0.0001); Prostate cancer - primary (%CFC= +74, p<0.0001); Skin melanomas - malignant (%CFC= -62, p<0.01); Skin squamous cell carcinomas (%CFC= -58, p<0.087); and Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (%CFC= -49, p<0.011). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for DCAMKL1 in diverse human cancers of 381, which is 0.8-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 0 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 100% lower than 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: 0.17 % in 24794 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is 2.3-fold higher than 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: 2.7 % in 10 peritoneum cancers tested; 0.84 % in 1271 large intestine cancers tested; 0.59 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.4 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.36 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.21 % in 127 biliary tract cancers tested; 0.17 % in 1634 lung cancers tested; 0.16 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.14 % in 1459 pancreas cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R60C (8); R93Q (4).
Comments:
Only 6 deletions, 1 insertion and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
