CBX7 is a tumor suppressor in mice and humans.
The CBX7 gene encodes a polycomb group protein that is known to be downregulated in many types of human cancers, although the role of this protein in carcinogenesis remains unclear. To shed light on this issue, we generated mice null for Cbx7. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from these mice had a higher growth rate and reduced susceptibility to senescence compared with their WT counterparts...
متن کاملEvidence for nonautonomous effect of p53 tumor suppressor in carcinogenesis.
Prostate, breast, and probably other epithelial tumors harbor inactivating mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene in the stromal cells, implying the nonautonomous action of p53 in carcinogenesis. We have tested this hypothesis by evaluating the tumorigenicity of MCF7 human breast cancer cells in severe combined immunodeficient mice that differ in their p53 status. Our results showed that, i...
متن کاملDiminished expression of S100A2, a putative tumor suppressor, at early stage of human lung carcinogenesis.
To identify and understand early events in lung carcinogenesis, we used a cDNA array to screen for genes that are expressed differentially in normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells and a tumorigenic cell line (1170-I) derived from immortalized HBE cells after exposure to cigarette smoke condensate in vivo. Among these genes, we have identified the S100A2 gene, which encodes a nuclear ca...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus E7 oncoprotein overrides the tumor suppressor activity of p21Cip1 in cervical carcinogenesis.
The E7 oncoprotein of the high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) is thought to contribute to cervical carcinogenesis at least in part by abrogating cell cycle regulation. E7 can dysregulate the cell cycle through its interaction with several cellular proteins including the retinoblastoma suppressor protein pRb, as well as the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21(Cip1). Inactivation of pRb in c...
