Amplification in human breast cancer of a gene encoding a c-myc mRNA-binding protein.

چکیده
The coding region determinant-binding protein (CRD-BP) binds in vitro to c-myc mRNA and is thought to stabilize the mRNA and increase c-Myc protein abundance. The CRD-BP gene has 15 exons and 14 introns, is single-copy, and is located on chromosome 11 in mice and 17 in humans, close to HER-2/neu. The CRD-BP gene is moderately amplified in 12 of 40 human breast cancers; it is highly amplified in 2 others (14.4 and 20 copies). Despite their proximity, CRD-BP and HER-2/neu genes can be amplified independently. Amplification of a gene that might up-regulate c-Myc abundance could accelerate breast cancer.

c-myc oncogene expression in estrogen-dependent and -independent breast cancer.
We demonstrate that c-myc gene expression is essential for growth of breast cancer cells. It also plays an important role in the progression of human breast cancer. c-myc gene amplification may be important for cancer cell invasion, but perhaps not essential for nodal metastasis. We also provide compelling evidence that the c-myc oncogene is an estrogen target gene in hormone-responsive breast ...

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...

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are a group of strong human carcinogen viruses considered to be the fourth leading cause of mortality among women in the world. HPV is the most important cause of cervical cancer, which is the second most common cancer in women living in low and middle-income countries. To date, there is no effective cure for an ongoing HPV infection; therefore, it is required to in...
متن کاملThere is no correlation between c-Myc mRNA expression and telomerase activity in human breast cancer
BACKGROUND: Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that synthesises telomeres after cell division and maintains chromosomal length and stability thus leading to cellular immortalisation. The hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase) subunit seems to be the rate-limiting determinant of telomerase and knowledge of factors controlling hTERT transcription may be useful in therapeutic strateg...

Probiotics and antibiotics are widely used in poultry and may alter drug bioavailability by affecting the expression of intestinal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) efflux transporters. Therefore the aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of Lactobacilli probiotics, administered alone or in combination with doxycycline, on the expression of ABCB1 (gene, encoding P-glycoprotein), A...
