Cell cycle control and cancer
Cancer is a multifaceted disease, but a common feature of most tumours is that they harbour one or more genetic mutations that allow them to proliferate outside their normal growth restraints. Proliferation is normally restrained through control of the cell division cycle, which in turn, is regulated by the Cdk family of serine/threonine kinases and their regulatory partners the cyclins. Here, ...
متن کاملCell cycle and cancer.
Cancer is frequently considered to be a disease of the cell cycle. As such, it is not surprising that the deregulation of the cell cycle is one of the most frequent alterations during tumor development. Cell cycle progression is a highlyordered and tightly-regulated process that involves multiple checkpoints that assess extracellular growth signals, cell size, and DNA integrity. Cyclin-dependen...
متن کاملRole of E2F in cell cycle control and cancer.
E2F transcription factors regulate the expression of a number of genes important in cell proliferation, particularly those involved in progression through G1 and into the S-phase of the cell cycle. The activity of E2F factors is regulated through association with the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (Rb) and the other pocket proteins, p107 and p130. Binding of Rb, p107 or p130 converts E...
متن کاملEffects of berberine on proliferation, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of human breast cancer T47D and MCF7 cell lines
Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...
متن کاملAdenovirus and cell cycle control.
Adenovirus infection of quiescent cells induces transition from G0 or G1 into the S phase of the cell cycle and allows cellular proliferation. This is beneficial for the virus since cells in S phase provide optimal conditions for viral replication. Adenovirus E1A, E1B and E4 gene products contribute to cell cycle deregulation. E1A proteins inactivate the pRb checkpoint, allowing the E2F transcr...
