Inositol polyphosphate phosphatase-like 1 (INPPL1), also known as SH2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 2 (SHIP2), has been suggested to act downstream of the PI3K/AKT pathway and play an important function in tumor development and progression. However, the associations between SHIP2 expression and the clinical features to determine its clinicopathologic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been investigated. In the present study, one-step quantitative PCR reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis with HCC tissue microarrays (TMA) were employed to evaluate the expression of SHIP2 in HCC. The results showed that SHIP2 expression in the mRNA and protein levels was significantly higher in HCC tissue than in corresponding non-cancerous tissue (p = 0.0014 and p < 0.001, respectively). The expression of SHIP2 protein in HCC was related to tumor differentiation, α-fetoprotein level, liver cirrhosis, and five-year survival rate (all p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test indicated that high expression of SHIP2 (p = 0.017) and tumor differentiation (p = 0.036) showed significant correlations with poor prognosis of HCC patients. The data indicate that SHIP2 expression is correlated with significant characteristics of HCC, and it may be useful as an unfavorable prognostic factor in HCC.

Background And Objectives: Maternal western-style diets that are high in glucose and fat have well-known cardiovascular effects on offspring, yet the combined influence of such diets during pregnancy is relatively less comprehended. This study investigates the impact of maternal high glucose and fat diet (HGF) on vascular constriction in offspring and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods And Results: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were provided with either HGF or control diets.

The SH2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase SHIP2 plays a crucial role in negative regulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Putative small molecule inhibitors of SHIP2, AS1949490 and K149 have been reported to elicit a range of beneficial effects in treating or preventing obesity as well as killing cancer cells. However, whether these effects are direct results of SHIP2 inhibition has not been carefully assessed, e.

A recent large genome-wide association study has identified EGFR (encoding the epidermal growth factor EGFR) as a new genetic risk factor for late-onset AD. SHIP2, encoded by INPPL1, is taking part in the signalling and interactome of several growth factor receptors, such as the EGFR. While INPPL1 has been identified as one of the most significant genes whose RNA expression correlates with cognitive decline, the potential alteration of SHIP2 expression and localization during the progression of AD remains largely unknown.

The src homology 2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatases SHIP1 and SHIP2 are two proteins involved in intracellular signaling pathways and have been linked to the pathogenesis of several diseases. Both protein paralogs are well known for their involvement in the formation of various kinds of cancer. SHIP1, which is expressed predominantly in hematopoietic cells, has been implicated as a tumor suppressor in leukemogenesis especially in myeloid leukemia, whereas SHIP2, which is expressed ubiquitously, has been implicated as an oncogene in a wider variety of cancer types and is suggested to be involved in the process of metastasis of carcinoma cells.

Article Synopsis
- SHIP2 is a negative regulator of immune responses in vertebrates, and a similar protein called CgSHIP2 was identified in Pacific oysters.
- CgSHIP2 is expressed in various tissues, with the highest levels found in the haemolymph, and its expression increases in haemocytes following stimulation by the bacterium Vibrio splendidus.
- Inhibition of CgSHIP2 expression led to a significant increase in interleukin mRNA levels and noticeable physical changes in the gills of oysters, indicating its crucial role in managing bacterial-induced inflammation.
