Functional analysis of the human calcyclin gene promoter in a panel of human melanoma cell lines.
By comparing two subsequent human tumor stages we previously described calcyclin as a new potential melanoma associated neoplastic progression marker positively linked with metastasis. In this study the calcyclin expression levels in a representative panel of human melanoma cell lines were correlated with the occurrence of DNase I hypersensitive (DH) regions and potential enhancer elements in a...
متن کاملThe mouse mammary tumor virus transcription enhancers for hematopoietic progenitor and mammary gland cells share functional elements.
Expression of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-encoded superantigens in B lymphocytes is required for viral transmission and pathogenesis. We have previously established a critical role of an enhancer element within the long terminal repeat (LTR) for MMTV sag gene expression in B-lymphoid progenitor cells. We now demonstrate enhancer activity of this element in a promyelocytic progenitor cell l...
متن کاملA conserved role for Snail as a potentiator of active transcription.
The transcription factors of the Snail family are key regulators of epithelial-mesenchymal transitions, cell morphogenesis, and tumor metastasis. Since its discovery in Drosophila ∼25 years ago, Snail has been extensively studied for its role as a transcriptional repressor. Here we demonstrate that Drosophila Snail can positively modulate transcriptional activation. By combining information on ...
متن کاملComparison of c-Kit expression between primary and metastatic melanoma of skin and mucosa
Background: Melanoma causes the greatest morbidity and mortality of all skin cancers. Mucosal melanoma is a rare but highly aggressive neoplasm. According to previous studies the prevalence of KIT mutations in acrallentiginous and mucosal melanomas is relatively low (less than 15–20%), but it can have profound therapeutic implications for localized high risk or metastatic diseases. Our goal w...
متن کاملReplication of enhancer-deficient amphotropic murine leukemia virus in human cells.
Amphotropic murine leukemia virus (MLV) replicates in cells from various mammalian species, including humans, and is a potential contaminant in MLV vector preparations for human gene transfer studies. The generation of replication-competent virus is considered less likely with vectors that delete the viral transcription elements. This conclusion is based on data obtained in rodents, where MLV r...
