Cellular oncogenes in neoplasia.
In recent years cellular homologues of many viral oncogenes have been identified. As these genes are partially homologous to viral oncogenes and are activated in some tumour cell lines they are termed "proto-oncogenes". In tumour cell lines proto-oncogenes are activated by either quantitative or qualitative changes in gene structure: activation of these genes was originally thought to be a nece...
متن کاملViral oncogenes and cellular prototypes.
The structural hallmark of retroviral transforming onc genes is a specific RNA sequence that is unrelated to the essential retroviral genes but closely related to certain cellular prototypes termed proto-onc genes. Two types of onc genes have been distinguished. Type I are onc genes which utilize elements of specific sequences only to encode a transforming protein. Type I1 onc genes are hybrids...
متن کاملRetroviral and human cellular oncogenes.
Unexpected meeting of two separate lines of research resulted in the discovery of oncogenes. Oncogenes are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences coding for polypeptide gene products which cause, or contribute to, neoplastic growth of cells. Oncogenes remain almost unchanged through evolution: oncogenes and their gene products of avian, murine, feline, simian and human species show close homolog...
متن کاملMutations and amplification of oncogenes in endometrial cancer.
Alterations in oncogenes are critical steps in the development of endometrial cancer. To investigate the potential clinical relevance of the amplification of the oncogenes c-erbB2, c-myc, and int-2 and the mutation of K-ras in endometrial cancer, 112 tumors were examined using PCR-based fluorescent DNA technology. Amplification of the three oncogenes and the mutation of K-ras were correlated wi...
متن کاملDifferent expression patterns of oncogenes and proto-oncogenes in hereditary and carcinogen-induced tumors of Xiphophorus.
Hereditary melanoma in Xiphophorus hybrids carrying the melanoma-inducing Tu-Sd locus is caused by transcriptional activation of the Xmrk gene that resides at the Tu-Sd locus and encodes a novel member of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). In this study, a total of 27 hereditary melanomas from various hybrid genotypes harbouring 7 different Tu alleles were also found to over-express the correspon...
