Oncogenes as regulators of apoptosis.
Although cancer is a disease that will afflict one out of three people in the Western world, when considered at a cellular level, it is a rare clonal event. Long-lived organisms, such as humans, have evolved strategies to restrict the development of potentially malignant cells, and one such mechanism is the coupling of proliferative and apoptotic pathways. Multiple oncogenes have the ability to...
متن کاملApoptosis regulators and their role in tumorigenesis.
It has become clear that, together with deregulated growth, inhibition of programmed cell death (PCD) plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis. In this review, we present an overview of the genes and mechanisms involved in PCD. We then summarize the evidence that impaired PCD is a prerequisite for tumorigenesis, as indicated by the fact that more and more neoplastic mutations appear to act by inte...
متن کاملComputational Detection of Transcriptional Regulators of Protein Complexes in Apoptosis
Apoptosis is a type of cell death mediated by different signaling pathways involving protein-protein interactions that eventually activate caspases, a family of proteases capable of degrading cellular proteins. In this study we identify genes that belong to 16 protein families known to be involved in apoptosis in 5 vertebrate genomes: human, mouse, rat, Danio zebrafish, and Fugu pufferfish. It ...
متن کاملKey regulators of apoptosis execution as biomarker candidates in melanoma
Resistance to apoptosis is frequently detected in malignant melanoma, a skin cancer with rapidly growing incidence rates. Apoptosis resistance may develop with disease progression and may be associated with the poor responsiveness of metastatic melanoma to apoptosis-inducing treatments, such as genotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Likewise, the efficacy of novel treatment options (targeted ...
متن کاملMicroRNAs as regulators of apoptosis mechanisms in cancer.
MicroRNAs or miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Their discovery has brought new knowledge in biological processes of cancer. Involvement of miRNAs in cancer development includes several major pathways from cell transformation to tumor cell development, metastasis and resistance to treatment. The first part of this review discusses miRNAs function in the intrinsic an...
