Targeting oncogenes in advanced melanoma
The ability to target oncogenes in malignancies such as CML, GIST, APML and ERBB2-positive breast cancer has revolutionized the management of those diseases. Interesting over 70% of melanomas contain genomic amplification or mutations in one of the oncogenes BRAF, NRAS, KIT, CCND1 or CDK4 that may induce an oncogene addicted state. Inhibition of BRAF with Vemurafenib or GSK2118436 in BRAF-mutan...
متن کاملMicroRNA-34a inhibits glioblastoma growth by targeting multiple oncogenes.
MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) is a transcriptional target of p53 that is down-regulated in some cancer cell lines. We studied the expression, targets, and functional effects of miR-34a in brain tumor cells and human gliomas. Transfection of miR-34a down-regulated c-Met in human glioma and medulloblastoma cells and Notch-1, Notch-2, and CDK6 protein expressions in glioma cells. miR-34a expression inhib...
متن کاملOncogenes and anti-oncogenes in tumorigenesis.
Recent advances have led to the identification of cellular genes which are involved in the initiation and progression of tumorigenesis. The proto-oncogenes, which normally participate in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, can become oncogenes through alterations in the regulation of their expression and/or their coding sequences. Their contribution to the tumorigenic phen...
متن کاملTransient oncogenes.
A given cancer is produced by a unique combination of genetic alterations that target specific genes, most often leading to activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Traditional oncogenes, such as RasV12, are involved in maintaining pro-survival and proliferation signals activated in the cell. Several evidences suggest that cancer cells are addicted to oncogenes and th...
متن کاملTALEN-mediated targeting of HPV oncogenes ameliorates HPV-related cervical malignancy.
Persistent HPV infection is recognized as the main etiologic factor for cervical cancer. HPV expresses the oncoproteins E6 and E7, both of which play key roles in maintaining viral infection and promoting carcinogenesis. While siRNA-mediated targeting of E6 and E7 transcripts temporarily induces apoptosis in HPV-positive cells, it does not eliminate viral DNA within the host genome, which can h...
