How Does The P1D1 Gene Impact Brain Cancer?

By Rob Sutter


When it comes to brain cancer in general, I'd like to think that there is a lot that can be said about the P1D1 gene. Keep in mind that its function in the body is focused on the both regulating insulin and providing mitochondrial functionality to the body. It's not like there haven't been studies focusing on it in the past but these were more along the lines of obesity and diabetes, which are vital conditions in their own right. However, how much can the P1D1 gene tie into this type of cancer?

When looking at the way that this gene has been linked to brain cancer, is it any wonder as to why this has been the case? I do not think that anyone can argue with such a point, especially when you consider just how many therapies have been implemented certain aspects linked to other conditions. However, the idea that they can play into this one is worth the attention of various organizations, Voices against Brain Cancer included. You may be curious, though, about the importance of the P1D1 gene when regarding this type of cancer.

Business Wire posted a report that spoke about the level of messenger RNA that has been linked to the P1D1 gene. More specifically, it seems like this has been focused on when looking at the more serious conditions such as medulloblastomas and gliomas. The P1D1 is utilized in order to inhibit cell growth with these types of cancer. With this information, a study was conducted and it seems as though both children and adults with these ailments have been helped through use of a study with intricacy tied in.

As it seems, higher levels of P1D1 mRNA have been directly correlated to increased survival rates in patient. The report spoke about this, saying that P1D1 - when in higher amounts - actually aided in the way of tumor cell death and brought down the amount of proliferation in regards to cells in question. It's apparent that several adults were tested in this experiment and, by and large, survival rates shot up. This goes to show that the presence of this gene is far more useful in the medical field than many would probably give it credit for.

These types of therapies are done consistently and I do not think that anyone can speak against the levels of potential that they possess. To me, they are able to address this condition, which has normally been viewed as one of the most serious in the human body. While conventional surgery on its own exists, results are most likely going to vary when looking at a collective group of patients. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why looking more into the P1D1 gene is for the best.
