FACT in Cell Differentiation and Carcinogenesis
Recent work of several laboratories has identified FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) protein complex as an emerging target for development of anticancer drugs and suggested a mechanism of FACT action during transcription and cell differentiation. FACT is the transcription and replication factor [1], which can stimulate transcript elongation through chromatin in vitro [2, 3]. Human FACT...
متن کاملCell differentiation and tumor-promoting action in skin carcinogenesis.
SUMMARY The early ultrastructural changes induced by the tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-l3-acetate in mouse epi dermis previously transformed by treatment with an initiating dose of 7,1 2-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene are described and compared with those in the basal cells of papillomas and carcinoma that appear later after repeated promoter treat ment. Groups of cells with fine structu...
متن کاملRole of retinoids in differentiation and carcinogenesis.
It has been known for more than 50 years that retinoids, the family of molecules comprising both the natural and synthetic analogues of retinol, are potent agents for control of both cellular differentiation and cellular proliferation (70). In their original clas sic paper describing the cellular effects of vitamin A deficiency in the rat, Wolbach and Howe clearly noted that there were distinct...
متن کاملCell-cell communication in carcinogenesis.
To explain the complex carcinogenic process by which a single normal cell in human beings can be converted to an invasive and metastatic cancer cell, a number of experimental findings, epidemiological observations and their associated hypothesis/theories have been integrated in this review. All cancers have been generally viewed as the result of a disruption of the homeostatic regulation of a c...
متن کاملComparison of Several Maturation Inducing Factors in Dendritic Cell Differentiation
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells that have an important role in the initiation of immune response. The use of maturation factors in dendritic cell differentiation provides a promising approach in immunotherapy. Objective: In this study, we compared tumor necrosis factor-α, polyribocytidylic acid, lipopolysacharide and CpG oligonucleotides in inducing d...
