Is p21 an oncogene?
p21 is a cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitor, and is a key mediator of p53-dependent cell cycle arrest after DNA damage (1, 2). p21 belongs to the Cip/Kip family of cdk inhibitors and it inhibits proliferation mainly by interfering with cyclin E/cdk2 activity (3). The initial perception of p21 functions was that it might be a tumor suppressor because it inhibits proliferation, and subsequen...
متن کاملp21-activated kinase 7 is an oncogene in human osteosarcoma
p21-activated kinase 7 (PAK7), also named as PAK5, is a member of Rac/Cdc42-associated Ser/Thr protein kinases. It is overexpressed in some types of cancer such as colorectal and pancreatic cancers. However, the expression status and biological function of PAK7 in osteosarcoma are still ambiguous. To evaluate the expression levels of PAK7 in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines, immunohistochemi...
متن کاملras Oncogene p21 expression is increased in premalignant lesions and high grade bladder carcinoma
ras Oncogene p21 antigen is present in the most superficial cells of the normal bladder urothelium, as demonstrated by immunohistochemical staining. The pattern and intensity of p21 staining of cells in epithelial hyperplasia and low grade bladder carcinoma were similar to that seen in the normal urothelium. In contrast, epithelial cells in "premalignant" (dysplastic) lesions and high grade car...
متن کاملB-RAF is an Oncogene in Melanocytes
The oncogenic version of B-RAF, B-RAF, is found in approximately 70% of human melanomas. However, the role that this oncogene plays in melanoma is unclear because B-RAF is also found in approximately 80% of benign nevi. We have examined the role of oncogenic B-RAF in the early stages of melanoma by expressing B-RAF in cultured melanocytes. In these cells, B-RAF induced constitutive mitogen acti...
متن کاملCul4A is an oncogene in malignant pleural mesothelioma
Cullin 4A (Cul4A) is important in cell survival, development, growth and the cell cycle, but its role in mesothelioma has not been studied. For the first time, we identified amplification of the Cul4A gene in four of five mesothelioma cell lines. Consistent with increased Cul4A gene copy number, we found that Cul4A protein was overexpressed in mesothelioma cells as well. Cul4A protein was also ...
