Abstract: Pituitary tumor transforming gene 1(PTTG1) is an oncogene which isolated from the pituitary gland. PTTG1 was previously reported to bind and inhibit separase to affect sister chromatid separation and lead to chromosome aneuploidy, activate the DNA damage response pathway to induce p53-dependent senescence, and also transactivate some oncogenes and promote cell transformation and tumorigenesis in nude mice. It can also promote tumor growth and invasion by affecting Wnt/β-catenin, epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT), and TGFβ/SMAD3 pathways. This article provides ideas for the development of tumor therapeutic drugs targeting PTTG1.

Key words: pituitary tumor transforming gene 1(PTTG1), mechanism, tumor
