| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
OGFOD1 catalyzes hydroxylation of ribosomal protein RPS23 and play a role in the regulation of translation, as recently suggested by several groups. However, functional role and relevance to cancer are poorly understood. In this report, we found that OGFOD1 was primarily a nuclear protein in many cancer cells and highly expressed in cancer tissues including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Knock-down of OGFOD1 suppressed cellular proliferation through up-regulation of p21cip1 and cell-cycle arrest. Furthermore CDK inhibitor (Albocidib) affected OGFOD1 expression and cellular growth.These results support that the induction of OGFOD1 is necessary for the cell growth and cell-cycle of malignant tumor.
