Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified centromere protein F, encoded by CENPF, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. CENPF was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, primary tumor expression of CENPF was correlated with overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. CENPF may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified cytoskeleton associated protein 2, encoded by CKAP2, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. CKAP2 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, in human endometrial cancer, primary tumor expression of CKAP2 was correlated with recurrence-free survival in white patients with high and low mutational burden. CKAP2 may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified the insulin degrading enzyme, encoded by IDE, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. IDE was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, primary tumor expression of IDE was correlated with overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. IDE may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified structural maintenance of chromosomes 4, encoded by SMC4, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. SMC4 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, primary tumor expression of SMC4 was correlated with overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. SMC4 may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified ZW10 interacting kinetochore protein, encoded by ZWINT, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. ZWINT was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, primary tumor expression of ZWINT was correlated with overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. ZWINT may be a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology and/or progression of human endometrial cancer.

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1, 2, 3, 4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified the cell cycle component cyclin B1, encoded by CCNB1, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. CCNB1 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, high primary tumor expression of CCNB1 was correlated with worse overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. Together, the data reveal over-expression of CCNB1 in human endometrial cancer and describe specific activation of the cell cycle in cancers of the endometrium.
