Synergistic effect of the v-myc oncogene with H-ras on radioresistance.
Resistance of tumors to irradiation or chemotherapeutic agents is thought to be one of the reasons why patients who present with early malignancies may not be cured. Much is now known about the molecular mechanisms that underlie drug resistance, but until recently little was known about genetic contributions to radiation resistance. Some evidence now links oncogenes, particularly the ras family...
متن کاملB-cell activating factor and v-Myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (c-Myc) influence progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Mice bearing a v-Myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (c-Myc) transgene controlled by an Ig-alpha heavy-chain enhancer (iMyc(Cα) mice) rarely develop lymphomas but instead have increased rates of memory B-cell turnover and impaired antibody responses to antigen. We found that male progeny of iMyc(Cα) mice mated with mice transgenic (Tg) for CD257 (B-cell activating factor, BAFF) develope...
متن کاملThe protein encoded by the human proto-oncogene c-myc.
The proto-oncogene c-myc may play a role in controlling the growth and division of normal cells, and abnormalities of the gene have been implicated in the genesis of a substantial variety of human tumors. To facilitate further study of these issues, we developed antisera that permit the identification and isolation of the protein encoded by the human and other mammalian versions of c-myc. We fo...
متن کاملThe MYC oncogene as a cancer drug target.
The universal deregulation of c-myc gene expression in tumor cells suggests that this oncogene represents an attractive target for cancer therapeutic purposes. The same applies to the N-myc gene, which has a more restricted tissue specificity. Translocation (e.g., c-myc in Burkitt's lymphoma), or amplification (e.g., N-myc in neuroblastoma) of myc genes has been causally linked to tumor formati...
متن کاملSmall Molecules Targeting c-Myc Oncogene: Promising Anti-Cancer Therapeutics
The nuclear transcription factor c-Myc is a member of the Myc gene family with multiple functions and located on band q24.1 of chromosome 8. The c-Myc gene is activated by chromosomal translocation, rearrangement, and amplification. Its encoded protein transduces intracellular signals to the nucleus, resulting in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and has the ...
