Disease Information

General Information of the Disease (ID: DIS00213)

• Name: Germ cell tumor
• ICD: ICD-11: 2D12

Type(s) of Resistant Mechanism of This Disease

  EADR: Epigenetic Alteration of DNA, RNA or Protein

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Drug

Approved Drug(s) 1 drug(s) in total

Cisplatin

Drug Resistance Data Categorized by Their Corresponding Mechanisms

Epigenetic Alteration of DNA, RNA or Protein (EADR)

Key Molecule: HIC ZBTB transcriptional repressor 1 (HIC1) [1]

• Resistant Disease: Germ cell tumor [ICD-11: 2D12.Y]
• Molecule Alteration: Methylation; Up-regulation
• Resistant Drug: Cisplatin
• Experimental Note: Identified from the Human Clinical Data
• In Vitro Model: 833K-E cells; Ascites; Homo sapiens (Human); CVCL_2292
• Experiment for Molecule Alteration: Western blotting assay
• Mechanism Description: Promoter hypermethylation of RASSF1A and HIC1 genes play a role in resistance of GCT, while the transcriptional inactivation of MGMT by epigenetic alterations confer exquisite sensitivity to cisplatin.

Key Molecule: Ras association domain-containing protein 1 (RASSF1) [1]

• Resistant Disease: Germ cell tumor [ICD-11: 2D12.Y]
