متن کاملP53 tumor suppressor gene therapy for cancer.
The last two decades have led to a greater understanding of the genetic basis of human malignancy. Although numerous genetic alterations have been detected in cancer, activation of oncogenes and inactivation of cell cycle regulators (e.g., tumor suppressor genes) are now known to play a critical role in the progression of the disease. Therapeutic strategies based on specific molecular alteratio...
متن کاملp53 Tumor Suppressor Gene Therapy for Cancer
Gene therapy has the potential to provide cancer treatments based on novel mechanisms of action with potentially low toxicities. This therapy may provide more effective control of locoregional recurrence in diseases like non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as well as systemic control of micrometastases. Despite current limitations, retroviral and adenoviral vectors can, in certain circumstances,...
متن کاملGain-of-function mutations in the tumor suppressor gene p53.
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a multifunctional transcription factor involved in the control of cell cycle progression, DNA integrity, and cell survival. p53 is mutated in half of all tumors and has a wide spectrum of mutation types. p53 mutants show different degrees of dominance over coexpressed wild-type p53, and loss of the wild-type p53 allele has been observed frequently. Several p5...
متن کاملP53 and Rb tumor suppressor gene alterations in gastric cancer.
UNLABELLED Inactivation of tumor suppressor genes has been frequently observed in gastric carcinogenesis. Our purpose was to study the involvement of p53, APC, DCC, and Rb genes in gastric carcinoma. METHOD Loss of heterozygosity of the p53, APC, DCC and Rb genes was studied in 22 gastric cancer tissues using polymerase chain reaction; single-strand conformation polymorphism of the p53 gene e...
