DNA/RNA
Description
Reprimo gene consists of 1 exon. The gene spans 1,47 kb of genomic DNA on the chromosome 2 in the minus strand.
Transcription
The mRNA is 1496 bp in length.
Proteins
Description
The open reading frame encodes a 109 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 11774 Da. Reprimo is a highly glycosylated protein which has two sites in amino acids 7 and 18. The protein has a potential transmembrane site covering amino acids 56 to 76.
Expression
The expression of Reprimo is induced by tumor protein p53 following X-ray irradiation.
Localisation
When Reprimo is ectopically expressed, it is localized in the cytoplasm.
Function
Reprimo is a candidate tumor suppresor gene involved in the G2/M phase cell cycle arrest mediated by tumor protein p53. Reprimo induces cell cycle arrest by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of the Cdc2-Cyclin B1 complex.
Implicated in
Entity name
Various cancers
Note
The aberrant methylation of the promoter region of Reprimo is a common event that may contribute to the pathogenesis of some types of human cancer. Promoter methylation of Reprimo was found in pancreatic cancer (91%), gastric cancer (90%), gallbladder cancer (62%), lymphomas (57%), colorectal cancer (56%) and esophageal adenocarcinomas (40%). In breast cancer, leukemias and lung cancer, promoter methylation of Reprimo was found in less than 40% of tested cases.
Entity name
Gastric cancer
Disease
Aberrant hypermethylation of Reprimo is frequently found in primary gastric cancer as well as in pair plasma samples. In plasma from asymptomatic controls, Reprimo is infrequently methylated. Therefore, plasmatic detection of Reprimo is a putative biomarker for early detection of gastric cancer.

The above histogram represents the percentage of positive cases for Reprimo and other genes (APC, SHP1, CDH-1, ER, SEMA3B and 3OST2) in 43 prospectively collected gastric cancer cases and 31 asymptomatic age- and gender-matched controls. Only Reprimo shows a significant difference in plasma between gastric cancer and asymptomatic controls (Bernal et al., Clin Cancer Res. 2008;14:6264-9).
Entity name
Pancreatic cancer
Disease
Aberrant hypermethylation of Reprimo is also common in pancreatic cell lines (91%) and in pancreatic adenocarcinomas (66%). Reprimo methylation is correlated with poor prognosis in a large series of resected pancreatic cancers. This fact raises the possibility that aberrant methylation of Reprimo is an epigenetic event that may have a mechanistic role in pancreatic cancer.
