Oncogenes in Human Thyroid Cancers

Human thyroid epithelial (follicular) cells give rise to two malignant tumors—"follicular" carcinomas, which metastasize almost exclusively via the bloodstream, and "papillary" carcinomas, which metastasize predominantly via lymphatics (Williams, E. D. In: W. Duncan (ed.), Recent Results in Cancer Research: Thyroid Cancer, pp. 47-55. Berlin: Springer-Verlag, 1980). We have investigated whethe...

Viral 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...

Oncogenes at viral integration sites.

Most retroviruses are innocuous to the cells they infect and do not encode transforming genes, yet many are implicated in naturally occurring cancers that arise at high frequency in virus-infected animals. It is now clear that the oncogenic properties of these viruses can be attributed to the stochastic activation of cellular oncogenes by the insertion of proviral DNA. Specific cancers ensue fr...

Rapalogs in viral cancers.

At present, 150 clinical trials are registered with the National Cancer Institute, which investigate the efficacy of inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway against multiple cancers. Efficacy varies not so much with drug action, but with tumor type, as different cancer types (and different pre-clinical models) exhibit widely differing susceptibilities to mTOR inhibitors, such as rapamycin. Vira...

Detection and identification of activated oncogenes in human skin cancers occurring on sun-exposed body sites.

High-molecular-weight DNA isolated from eight fresh human skin cancers occurring on sun-exposed body sites were assayed for their ability to transform NIH 3T3 cells. A cotransfection protocol using pSV2-neo DNA, which confers resistance to the antibiotic G418, was used to select cells that had taken up the transfected DNA. About 2 weeks after transfection, G418-resistant colonies were pooled an...
