c-MYC-induced genomic instability.
MYC dysregulation initiates a dynamic process of genomic instability that is linked to tumor initiation. Early studies using MYC-carrying retroviruses showed that these viruses were potent transforming agents. Cell culture models followed that addressed the role of MYC in transformation. With the advent of MYC transgenic mice, it became obvious that MYC deregulation alone was sufficient to init...
متن کاملDNA structure-induced genomic instability in vivo.
Noncanonical DNA structures are postulated to be responsible for some breakpoint hotspots that occur frequently in cancers. We developed a novel mouse model system using the naturally occurring H-DNA structure that deviate from the familiar right-handed helical B form found at the breakage hotspot in the human c-MYC promoter and a Z-DNA-forming CG repeat to test this idea directly. Large-scale ...
متن کاملMalaria-Induced B Cell Genomic Instability
Nussenzweig and colleagues evaluate genomic instability and germinal center derived lymphomagenesis in mice infected with Plasmodium to recreate some of the hallmark characteristics of Burkitt lymphoma, a form of cancer more common in parts of Africa where malaria is endemic.
متن کاملMechanisms of glycosylase induced genomic instability
Human alkyladenine DNA glycosylase (AAG) initiates base excision repair (BER) to guard against mutations by excising alkylated and deaminated purines. Counterintuitively, increased expression of AAG has been implicated in increased rates of spontaneous mutation in microsatellite repeats. This microsatellite mutator phenotype is consistent with a model in which AAG excises bulged (unpaired) base...
متن کاملGenomic instability induced by ionizing radiation.
Genomic instability is characterized by the increased rate of acquisition of alterations in the mammalian genome. These changes encompass a diverse set of biological end points including karyotypic abnormalities, gene mutation and amplification, cellular transformation, clonal heterogeneity and delayed reproductive cell death. The loss of stability of the genome is becoming accepted as one of t...
