Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Cancer, genetic disorders
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Multiple cutaneous and mucosal venous malformations; Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome; Polycystic liver disease; Placenta accreta; Glomuvenous malformation
Comments:
Multiple cutaneous and mucosal venous malformations (VMCM) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by malformation of blood vessels underlying areas of the skin and mucous membranes, resulting in the appearance of bluish venous lesions on the skin and mucous membranes (e.g. lining of the nasal and oral cavities). Mutations in the TIE2 gene have been observed in VMCM patients, including R849W, Y897S, L914F, A2690C, Y897C, and R915H substitution mutation. These mutations are predicted to result in a gain-of-function in the kinase catalytic activity of the TIE2 protein. Consequently, increased expression or activity of the TIE2 protein is suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease.
Specific Cancer Types:
Hemangiomas; Colorectal cancer; Cavernous hemangiomas; Capillary hemangiomas; Pyogenic granulomas; Tufted angiomas; Glomangioma; Intramuscular hemangiomas
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: Bladder carcinomas (%CFC= -51, p<0.014); Lung adenocarcinomas (%CFC= -80, p<0.0001); Skin melanomas - malignant (%CFC= -81, p<0.009); and Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (%CFC= -45, p<0.062). The COSMIC website notes an up-regulated expression score for TIE2 in diverse human cancers of 284, which is 0.6-fold of the average score of 462 for the human protein kinases. The down-regulated expression score of 4 for this protein kinase in human cancers was 0.1-fold of 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: 0.08 % in 25695 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is very similar (+ 7% higher) to 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: 0.6 % in 805 skin cancers tested; 0.32 % in 1178 large intestine cancers tested; 0.23 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.21 % in 602 endometrium cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1941 lung cancers tested; 0.07 % in 1559 breast cancers tested; 0.06 % in 1963 central nervous system cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 5 in 20,979 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 5 deletions, 2 insertions and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
