Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Cancer
Specific Cancer Types:
 Lung cancer (LC)
Comments:
MAPKAPK3 might be a tumour suppressor protein (TSP). It is proposed to be deleted in some small cell lung cancers, but this remains to be proven in an in vivo (and not only cell line) model.  
 
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: Brain glioblastomas (%CFC= -70, p<0.015); Cervical cancer (%CFC= +64, p<0.048); Cervical cancer stage 2B (%CFC= +111); Classical Hodgkin lymphomas (%CFC= +156, p<0.002); Large B-cell lymphomas (%CFC= +131, p<0.002); Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) (%CFC= -45, p<0.003); and Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +52, p<0.083).
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis. MAPKAPK3 affinity to PCH2 can be increased with a K73M mutation.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.06 % in 24434 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -15 % lower 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: 0.32 % in 1052 large intestine cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 3 in 24,434 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 4 deletions (3 at R31fs*9) and 3 deletions (all at R31fs*9), and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
