Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE ZIP4 overexpression significantly reduced accumulation of gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer cells, increased growth of xenograft tumors in mice, and increased expression of the integrin subunits ITGA3 and ITGB1; expression of ITGA3 and ITGB1 was reduced in cells with ZIP4 knockdown. 31711924 2020
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE In this study, results from 99 human patients with NPC showed that ZIP4 expression levels significantly correlated with a higher TN (tumor, lymph node) classification, as well as shorter overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). 31383854 2019
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Mice with orthotopic tumors grown from pancreatic cancer cells with knockdown of ZIP4 survived longer and lost less body weight and muscle mass than mice with control tumors. 30342032 2019
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Our goal is to study the underlying mechanism and define a novel signaling pathway controlled by ZIP4-modulating pancreatic tumor metastasis.<b>Experimental Design:</b> The expression of ZIP4, ZO-1, claudin-1, and ZEB1 in human pancreatic cancer tissues, genetically engineered mouse model, xenograft tumor model, and pancreatic cancer cell lines were examined, and the correlations between ZIP4 and those markers were also analyzed. 29615456 2018
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Expression levels in tumor tissue and survival time revealed a negative correlation for ZIP4 and ZIP14, and in part for ZnT9 (nuclear staining) (p < 0.05), whereas cytoplasmic staining of ZnT9 did not correlate with survival. 29895370 2018
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Here, integrated analysis of gene expression in non-small cell lung cancer revealed that SLC39A4 expression is significantly correlated with increased tumour size and regional lymph node spread, as well as shorter overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). 28775359 2017
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE In addition, the ZIP4-expressing side-population had the tumor initiating activity. 29163813 2017
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE Among the four zinc transporter genes, high ZIP4 expression and low ZIP11 expression were significantly associated with higher grade (grades III and IV) tumors compared with lower grade (grades I and II) counterparts (p<0.0001). 25921144 2015
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Among all 24 zinc transporters, ZIP4 is most significantly associated with tumor grade and overall survival; this finding is consistent across 2 independent cohorts (CGCA and REMBRANDT) and is partially validated by the third cohort (UT). 23595627 2013
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE It suggests that ZIP4 may be a tumor suppressor gene and down-regulation of ZIP4 may be a critical early event in the development of prostate carcinoma. 21803616 2013
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 Biomarker group BEFREE Silencing of ZIP4 also caused reduced incidence of tumor metastasis in the mice and downsized the tumor grade. 19755388 2009
CUI: C0027651
Disease: Neoplasms
Neoplasms
0.100 AlteredExpression group BEFREE In the orthotopic nude mice model, overexpression of ZIP4 not only increased the primary tumor weight (7.2-fold), it also increased the peritoneal dissemination and ascites incidence. 18003899 2007
