Introduction

Full name: SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily c, member 1 . SMARCC1 is one subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, which acts as a chromatin organizational modifier to regulate gene expression, playing an essential role in early development, differentiation, and tumor suppression (1-7).

Function and Interaction

SMARCC1 modulates apoptosis caused by glucocorticoids, and it may therefore participate in the development of thymic T cells (8). BAF155 is a subunit of both the SWI/SNF complex and the related EKLF coactivator-remodeling complex 1 (E-RC1), which assists Erythroid KrŸppel-like factor (EKLF) in modulating human beta-globin expression (9). BAF155 is thought to be closely related to cancers (1-5) and was recently shown to be involved in a new tumor-suppressing mechanism through p53 and p21 (10). SMARCC1 (BAF155) interacts with mSin3A in vitro, which is related to regulating gene expression (11). It has also been shown to interact with the other subunits of the SWI/SNF complex to maintain the stability of the whole complex (12).

Disease Association

SMARCC1 is greatly upregulated in cells following MEN1 (autosomal dominant disorder multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1) transfection. Therefore, this factor could play an important role during the MEN1 pathology process (1). Studies have also shown that colorectal cancer patients with higher SMARCC1 levels may survive longer than those with lower levels (2). SMARCC1 is upregulated in some prostate cancers and is involved in tumor dedifferentiation and recurrence. Thus, SMARCC1 may be used to predict cancer and is a potential a targeting marker during the treatment of prostate cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (3-5).
