Summary: This gene encodes a small, monomeric, predominantly unstructured protein that functions as a positive regulator of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. This protein interacts with a repressor of beta-catenin mediated transcription at nuclear speckles. It is thought to competitively block interactions of the repressor with beta-catenin, resulting in up-regulation of beta-catenin target genes. The encoded protein may also play a role in the NF-kappaB and ERK1/2 signaling pathways. Expression of this gene may play a role in the proliferation of several types of cancer including thyroid cancer, breast cancer and hematological malignancies. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Correlations of ultrasound and pathological features of thyroid carcinoma with TC-1 mRNA and protein expression.
Title: Correlations of ultrasound and pathological features of thyroid carcinoma with TC-1 mRNA and protein expression.
The lncRNA H19 serves as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-30a to augment miR-30a downstream target C8orf4, therefore modulating adipogenic differentiation in adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
Title: H19/miR-30a/C8orf4 axis modulates the adipogenic differentiation process in human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
The expressions of C8orf4 (TCIM) and beta-catenin increase synergystically in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and high-grade intraepithelial lesions compared with low-grade lesions and normal cervical tissues. The methylation level of C8orf4 is decreased in CSCCs and is responsible for the increased expression of C8orf4.
Title: Association of C8orf4 expression with its methylation status, aberrant β-catenin expression, and the development of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
Identified a new circRNA, circZFR, that was significantly upregulated in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). CircZFR could promote C8orf4 expression via serving as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-1261 in PTC cells. Rescue assays indicated that restoration of C8orf4 significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of circZFR knockdown on PTC cell proliferation, migration and invasion.
Title: Circular RNA circZFR contributes to papillary thyroid cancer cell proliferation and invasion by sponging miR-1261 and facilitating C8orf4 expression.
Decreased capacity of fibrotic lung fibroblasts to up-regulate COX-2 expression and COX-2-derived PGE2 synthesis is due to an indirect epigenetic mechanism involving hypermethylation of the transcriptional regulator, c8orf4.

TC-1 overexpression promotes cell proliferation in human non-small cell lung cancer that can be inhibited by PD173074.
Title: TC-1 overexpression promotes cell proliferation in human non-small cell lung cancer that can be inhibited by PD173074.
TC-1 expression is associated with aggressive biologic behavior in lung cancer and might coordinate with the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway as a positive upstream regulator that induces these behaviors.
Title: TC-1 (c8orf4) enhances aggressive biologic behavior in lung cancer through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
The higher expression of TC-1 in ovarian compared to colorectal adenocarcinomas suggests its potential use as a marker
Title: TC-1 (C8orf4) expression is correlated with differentiation in ovarian carcinomas and might distinguish metastatic ovarian from metastatic colorectal carcinomas.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
