The TSPY gene and the loss of Y chromosome predisposition to cancers

Дата публикации: 27-08-2026 00:00:00

Mosaic loss of Y chromosome is a common genetic phenomenon in elderly men. It predisposes affected individuals to cancers, suggesting that genes on this male-specific chromosome contribute to the well-being of men. Currently, the putative gene(s) responsible for such cancer predisposition when lost is/are currently unknown. A recent study identified the testis-specific protein Y-encoded (TSPY) gene possesses significant immunogenicity, capable of eliciting significant immune responses against and eliminating positive tumor cells in a mouse model of liver cancer. TSPY is a male-specific cancer-testis antigen expressed in a wide variety of cancers but not normal somatic cells. It is an ampliconic gene constituting a majority (~ 42%) of all protein-coding genes on the human Y chromosome. TSPY is hypothesized to be a guardian gene for man, protecting man from cancer development. Its high copy-number of conserved functional units ensures that it is intrinsically activated in early/progenitor...
