The molecular perspective: the ras oncogene.
together when to divide, when to differentiate, and when to die. Often, cells communicate with one another by delivering protein messages. These proteins—hormones, growth factors, chemokines, etc.—are far too large to enter the receiving cell, so an elaborate mechanism of signal transduction has been developed, to transmit messages from the cell surface into the cell nucleus, where the topic of...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms underlying the tumorigenesis of colorectal adenomas: correlation to activated K-ras oncogene.
Mutations of K-ras gene have been demonstrated in 40-50% of colorectal cancer and large adenoma (>1 cm). This study was intended to clarify the correlation between the existence of K-ras oncogene and the pathological features of colorectal adenomas using our recently developed membrane arrays. Moreover, the downstream genes regulated by K-ras oncogene were explored to serve as potential biomark...
متن کاملRAS proto-oncogene in medullary thyroid carcinoma.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare malignancy originating from the calcitonin-secreting parafollicular thyroid C cells. Approximately 75% of cases are sporadic. Rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene plays a crucial role in MTC development. Besides RET, other oncogenes commonly involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers have also been investigated in MTC. The family of ...
متن کاملRas oncogene mutation in multiple myeloma
The frequency of ras (H-, K-, and N-ras) and c-myc oncogenes was investigated in multiple myeloma (MM). By means of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/oligonucleotide hybridization method, DNA from 56 tumor biopsies was analyzed for the presence of activating mutations involving codons 12 and 61 of the H-, K-, and N-ras genes and codon 13 of the N-ras gene. Mutations, involving the N- or K-ras...
