The role of the replication licensing system in cell proliferation and cancer.

چکیده
The precise duplication of chromosomal DNA during each cell cycle is essential for the maintenance of genetic stability. Failure to correctly regulate chromosomal DNA replication could lead to losses or duplication of chromosome segments. The precise duplication of chromosomes is normally achieved by correct regulation of the replication licensing system. Here we review our current knowledge of the licensing system and how this might be defective in cancer cells. We also review how detection of licensing components can be used for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Finally we discuss the potential of the replication licensing system as a novel anti-cancer target.

Epidermal growth factor receptor potentiates MCM7-mediated DNA replication through tyrosine phosphorylation of Lyn kinase in human cancers.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) initiates a signaling cascade that leads to DNA synthesis and cell proliferation, but its role in regulating DNA replication licensing is unclear. Here, we show that activated EGFR phosphorylates the p56 isoform of Lyn, p56(Lyn), at Y32, which then phosphorylates MCM7, a licensing factor critical for DNA replication, at Y600 to increase its association wi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Human Breast Adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) Cells Proliferation in Co-Culture with Human Adipocytes in Three Dimensional Collagen Gel Matrix: Norepinephrine as a Lipolytic Factor
Background: Norepinephrine plays a trophic role in the control of cell replication and differentiation in target cells that express adrenergic receptors. Methods: In this study, we have tested the influence of infraphysiological, physiological and supraphysiological concentrations (0.0001 nM, 1 nM, 10000 nM) of human norepinephrine on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (human breast adeno...
متن کاملThe Inhibitory Effects of Ascorbic Acid, ?-Tocopherol, and Sodium Selenite on Proliferation of Breast Cancer Cell Lines
The role of antioxidants in prevention and treatment of cancers have been reported by several studies. In our investigation we studied the effects of ascorbic acid, ?-tocopherol, and sodium selenite on proliferation of two breast cancer cell lines: T47D (estrogen-receptor positive) and MDA-MB-231 (estrogen-receptor negative). We also used 17-?-estradiol as positive control for proliferation of ...

متن کاملMiR-6165 Dysregulation in Breast Cancer and Its Effect on Cell Proliferation and Migration
Background: ncRNAs have been identified as oncogenic drivers and tumor suppressors in any type of cancer. Although many classes of ncRNAs have been reported, most studies have been performed on microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs can regulate several target genes and affect important processes such as homeostasis, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Located in the p75NTR ge...
