<i>E2F3b</i> over‐expression in ovarian carcinomas and in <i>BRCA1</i> Haploinsufficient fallopian tube epithelium
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We have previously shown that the E2F3 oncogene is up-regulated as part of a "preneoplastic expression profile" in fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) of women with BRCA1 mutations. We studied E2F3 expression in FTE and carcinomas of women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations or wildtype for both genes. Significantly more foci of TP53 positive cells in histologically normal FTE from women with BRCA1 mutations but not in wildtype or BRCA2 mutated individuals had E2F3 protein overexpression relative to adjacent normal FTE, which occurred in the context of focally increased proliferation, potentially explaining the increased neoplastic potential of tubal TP53 foci in women with BRCA1 mutations. To assess mechanisms of E2F3 deregulation in ovarian or tubal carcinogenesis, we studied E2F3 and its two isoforms E2F3a and E2F3b in wild-type ovarian carcinomas and ovarian carcinomas associated with germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. The expression of E2F3b, but not E2F3a, was correlated with the expression of BRCA1 in all three genetic groups. In primary cultures of FTE from women with BRCA1 mutation or wildtype for BRCA1 and BRCA2, siRNA-induced BRCA1 deficiency led to increased E2F3b but not E2F3a expression. Our results suggest that E2F3b and BRCA1 are functionally connected, and BRCA1 haploinsufficiency in normal FTE may lead to up-regulation of E2F3b and increased proliferation before the development of intraepithelial neoplasia. These data support that E2F3b up-regulation is an important preneoplastic event in FTE from BRCA1 mutation carriers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
