ABSTRACT

Tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) function in concert with diverse parts of the cellular machi‐ nery and integrate the signaling networks in a cell [1]. TSGs act to safeguard the networks, to fine-tune signaling outputs, and to maintain tissue homeostasis. The loss of tumor sup‐ pressor activity or inactivation of a TSG is often due to genetic alterations such as a loss-offunction mutation or a deletion in the gene; alternatively, epigenetic silencing can result from methylation or histone modification in the TSG’s promoter regulatory elements [1-3]. Cells with a loss or a significant reduction of a particular tumor suppressor’s activity are prone to develop neoplasia in the tissues/organs where the TSG is expressed [1, 2].
