While allelic losses and mutations of tumor suppressor genes implicated in the etiology of astrocytoma have been widely assessed, the role of epigenetics is still a matter of study. We analyzed the frequency of promoter hypermethylation by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in five tumor suppressor genes (PTEN, MGMT, RASSF1A, p14(ARF), and p16(INK4A)), in astrocytoma samples and cell lines. RASSF1A...
Cell cycle exit is required for proper differentiation in most cells and is critical for normal development, tissue homeostasis, and tumor suppression. However, the mechanisms that link cell cycle exit with differentiation remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the master melanocyte differentiation factor, microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF), regulates cell cycle exit by activating...
background: cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) is a premalignant lesion capable of progressing to cervical cancer. despite the existing well-defined criteria, the histomorphologic diagnosis is subject to high rates of discordance among pathologists. the aim of this study was to evaluate ki-67 (mib-1), ck17 and p16 ink4a (p16) markers by immunohistochemical methods in differentiating cin f...
The genes at the INK4A/ARF locus at 9p21 are frequently involved in human cancer. Virtually all p16(INK4A) exon 2 (henceforth called p16) inactivation in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) occurs by gene deletion. The results of this study illustrate that real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction is capable of detecting gene deletion in primary patient specimens with a precisio...
Reduced DNA repair has been linked to an increased risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma, but insights into the molecular mechanisms of that link are scarce. The INK4a/ARF (CDKN2a) locus, which codes for the p16 and p19 proteins, is often mutated in sporadic and familial malignant melanoma, but it has not been directly associated with reduced DNA repair. We transfected unirradiated mouse fibrobl...
PURPOSE Overexpression of E2F-1 is associated with increased invasiveness in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines in vitro, but its significance in vivo is unknown. This study sought to determine the relationship between E2F-1 and retinoblastoma protein (pRb) expression and disease outcome in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anterior tongue. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN pRb and E2F-1 p...
GDF-9 stimulates granulosa cell proliferation and plays important roles during folliclogenesis. However, its molecular mechanisms are still far from clear, particularly its roles in human granulosa cells around the periovulatory stage. Therefore, we investigated the effects of GDF-9 on cell cycle distribution, regulatory molecules, and signaling pathways involved in human luteinized granulosa (...
The cell-cycle regulatory gene INK4A-ARF (CDKN2A) has two alternative transcripts that produce entirely different proteins, namely p14 and p16, which have complementary functions as regulators of p53 and pRB tumor suppressor pathways, respectively. The unusual organization of INK4A-ARF has long led to speculation of a need for coordinated regulation of p14 and p16.We now show that p14 (ARF) reg...
The oncogenes RAS and RAF came to view as agents of neoplastic transformation. However, in normal cells, these genes can have effects that run counter to oncogenic transformation, such as arrest of the cell division cycle, induction of cell differentiation, and apoptosis. Recent work has demonstrated that RAS elicits proliferative arrest and senescence in normal mouse and human fibroblasts. Bec...
