Cell cycle: On target with Myc
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent evidence indicates that the c-Myc proto-oncogene activates transcription of cdc25A. The Cdc25A protein phosphatase is required both for progression through mitosis and for Myc-induced apoptosis, making cdc25A the most attractive Myc target gene identified so far.

Investigating the inhibitory effect of miR-34a, miR-449a, miR-1827, and miR-106b on target genes including NOTCH1, c-Myc, and CCND1 in human T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia clinical samples and cell line
Objective(s): microRNAs are small non-coding molecules that regulate gene expression in various biological processes. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignancy accompanied with genetic aberrations and accounts for 20% of children’s and adult’s ALL. Notch signaling pathway dysregulation occurs in 60% of T-ALL cases. In the present study, we aimed to de...
متن کاملThe cucurbitacins D, E, and I from Ecballium elaterium (L.) upregulate the LC3 gene and induce cell-cycle arrest in human gastric cancer cell line AGS
Objective(s): Cucurbitacins exhibit a range of anti-cancer functions. We investigated the effects of cucurbitacins D, E, and I purified from Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich fruits on some apoptotic and autophagy genes in human gastric cancer cell line AGS. Materials and Methods: Using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), the expression of LC3, VEGF, BAX, caspase-3, and c-MYC genes...
متن کاملEffect of valproic acid on JAK/STAT pathway, SOCS1, SOCS3, Bcl-xL, c-Myc, and Mcl-1 gene expression, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction in human colon cancer HT29 cell line.
Background and aim: Cytokines are a large family of protein messengers. These proteins induce various cellular responses. Janus kinases (JAKs) are mediators of cytokine, activated JAKs phosphorylate signal transducers, and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins that regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Aberrant JAK/STAT signaling is involved in the oncogenesis of se...
متن کاملFeedback regulation of c-Myc by ribosomal protein L11.
Several ribosomal proteins including L11 have been shown to activate p53 by inhibiting oncoprotein MDM2, leading to inhibition of cell cycle progression. Our recent study showed that L11 also inhibits oncoprotein c-Myc. Overexpression of L11 inhibits c-Myc-induced transcription and cell proliferation, while reduction of endogenous L11 increases these c-Myc activities. Interestingly, L11 is a tr...
متن کاملMnt–Max to Myc–Max complex switching regulates cell cycle entry
The c-Myc oncoprotein is strongly induced during the G0 to S-phase transition and is an important regulator of cell cycle entry. In contrast to c-Myc, the putative Myc antagonist Mnt is maintained at a constant level during cell cycle entry. Mnt and Myc require interaction with Max for specific DNA binding at E-box sites, but have opposing transcriptional activities. Here, we show that c-Myc in...
متن کاملEffects of Myc inhibition/knockout on normal tissues and cells
The three Myc proteins, c-Myc, L-Myc and N-Myc, are all basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-Zip transcription factors that coordinate cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, cell growth, metabolism, differentiation and tissue remodel ing, as well as a variety of protective checkpoint mechanisms such as growth arrest and apoptosis. Myc proteins form heterodimers with their bHLH-Zip partner Max, tr...
