Background And Aims: Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor that seriously affects human health and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is a molecular subtype of GC. This study aims to determine the relationship between the methylation status of the TMEM130 gene and GC, and to explore the influence of EBV infection.
Methods: qRT-PCR was conducted to investigate the transcriptional expression of TMEM130 in GC. BSP and MSP assays were used to detect the methylation level of the TMEM130 promoter. The cell migration ability was detected by Transwell and western blot after transfection of TMEM130 plasmids in GC cells.
Results: The transcriptional expression of TMEM130 decreased in GC with hypermethylation of the promoter region. The DNA methyltransferase inhibitor could increase the mRNA expression of TMEM130. Moreover, hypermethylation of the TMEM130 promoter in GC tissues was associated with EBV infection. Overexpression of TMEM130 in GC cell lines suppresses cell migration ability.
Conclusion: This study was the first to research the expression and function of TMEM130 and found that TMEM130 gene hypermethylation might contribute to GC migration and EBV infection as a cause of hypermethylation of the TMEM130 gene. TMEM130 is a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of GC.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the common malignant head and neck cancer, is highly prevalent in southern China. The molecular mechanism underlying NPC tumorigenesis is unclear. We used 5-Aza-CdR, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, to treat NPC cell lines and discovered that the expression of TMEM130 changed significantly compared with the untreatment cells.

Gene expression and alternative splicing (AS) can promote cancer development complex mechanisms. We aimed to identify and verify the hub AS events and splicing factors associated with the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). RNA-Seq data, clinical data, and AS events of 590 CRC samples were obtained from the TCGA and TCGASpliceSeq databases.

The ancient paralogs premelanosome protein () and glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B () have independently emerged as intriguing disease loci in recent years. Both proteins possess common functional domains and variants that cause a shared spectrum of overlapping phenotypes and disease associations: melanin-based pigmentation, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and glaucoma. Surprisingly, these proteins have yet to be shown to physically or genetically interact within the same cellular pathway.
