ZNF703[1] is a gene which has been linked with the development of breast cancers.[2][3][4] ZNF703 is contained within the NET/N1z family responsible for regulation of transcription essential for developmental growth especially in the hindbrain.[5] Normal functions performed by ZNF703 include adhesion, movement and proliferation of cells.[5] ZNF703 directly accumulates histone deacetylases at gene promoter regions but does not bind to functional DNA.[6]

Following research by scientists at Cancer Research UK, it was the first oncogene discovery in the past six years.[3]

ZNF703 is a part of 8p12 telomeric amplicon that is associated with Luminal B breast cancer. Recently, ZNF703 is identified as the driver of 8p12 locus amplification.[7]

Patients diagnosed with luminal B cancer caused by ZNF703 typically have lower recovery and survival rates than other cancer types.[8]

Drug resistance of ZNF703 has been displayed when patients are treated using anti-cancer drug Tamoxifen.[9]

Discovery

Researchers discovered the carcinogenic nature of ZNF703 in 2011 while conducting research on the classification and resistance of various oncogenes.[5] Researchers attempted to discern factors associated with various cancer types through observation of the oncogenic mechanism on a molecular scale.[5] The luminal B cancer pathway exhibited an amplification of 5 different genomic areas including the chromosome region 8p12.[5] Amplification of region 8p12 occurred through transcriptional regulation of ZNF703.[5]

Location

File:Human chromosome 08 - 550 bphs.png
Oncogene ZNF703 is located at the p-arm of human chromosome 8 at position 8p12.

ZNF703 is located on human chromosome 8 at the short arm region commonly named chromosome region 8p12.[2] Tumors generated by ZNF703 have shown loss in size beginning at the telomere and ending at 8p12 while the 8p12-11 region has increased size.[10] A fluctuation between increase and decrease is present along the 8p12-8p21 boundary region of the chromosome.[10] A pattern has been found that involves three similar regions of disrupted growth and four regions of enhanced growth starting from the telomere and ending at the centromere.[10]

Role in cancer

The ZNF703 gene generally plays an active role in luminal B tumor cells contained in mammary ducts.[2] Typically, ZNF703 expression is greater when the tumors are estrogen receptor positive as opposed to estrogen receptor negative.[2] ZNF703 is co-expressed in a nuclear complex containing genes DCAF7, NCRO2 and PHB2.[2] ZNF703 generates a nuclear protein responsible for oestrogen receptor associated protein repression.[2] Gene expression of stem cells are triggered when the ZNF703 gene becomes overexpressed in the complex.[2] As a result, both regular cells and cancer stem cell abundance increases rapidly.[2] ZNF703 overexpression also causes primary and secondary tumorsphere development alongside amplified production of CD49F- positive cells associated with colon cancer.[2]

ZNF703 also experiences target regulation of cancer cells through the transcription of RNA SPRY4-It1.[11] RNA SPRY4-IT1 is a non-coding gene responsible for preventing apoptosis and generating large tumors.[11]

Researchers recently established a link between the trigger gene ZNF703 and Akt/mTOR pathway activation involved in the cellular cycle resulting in lung tumor formation.[12]

Prognosis

The lifespan of individuals with colorectal cancer and luminal cancer have different prognosis depending on the amount of expression of the ZNF703 gene.[8] Low amounts of transcription of ZNF703 usually leads to a healthier prognosis than individuals experiencing higher levels of transcription of the oncogene.[8] ZNF703 is a target for therapeutic medicines since survival rates increase as transcription rates decrease.[8]

Resistance to drugs

The drug Tamoxifen is a commonly administered drug used to treat luminal cancers in patients.[9] Half of patients treated with Tamoxifen are resistant to the drug.[9] Overexpression of ZNF703 has been linked to Tamoxifen resistance.[9] As transcription of the ZNF703 gene reaches substantial levels, instead of blocking cell proliferation, Tamoxifen is found to increase cancer cell division.[9] Tamoxifen can only be given at low dosages and patients are monitored daily in order to avoid tumor growth.[9]
