Bladder Cancer: A Simple Model Becomes Complex
Bladder cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in developed countries and it is also characterized by a high number of recurrences. Despite this, several authors in the past reported that only two altered molecular pathways may genetically explain all cases of bladder cancer: one involving the FGFR3 gene, and the other involving the TP53 gene. Mutations in any of these two genes are us...
متن کاملUbiquitin pathway in VHL cancer syndrome.
The physiologic response to changes in cellular oxygen tension is ultimately governed by a heterodimeric transcription factor called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), which, in adaptation to compromised oxygen availability, transactivates a myriad of genes, including those responsible for de novo vascularization, production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, and anaerobic metabolism. Accumulatio...
متن کاملUbiquitin pathway and ovarian cancer.
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a common cellular process in eukaryotic tissue. Ubiquitin binds to proteins and tags them for destruction; this tagging directs proteins to the proteosome in the cell that degrades and recycles unneeded proteins. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an important role in the regulation of cellular proteins with respect to cell cycle control, transcription, a...
متن کاملUbiquitous transgene expression and Cre-based recombination driven by the ubiquitin promoter in zebrafish.
Molecular genetics approaches in zebrafish research are hampered by the lack of a ubiquitous transgene driver element that is active at all developmental stages. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of the zebrafish ubiquitin (ubi) promoter, which drives constitutive transgene expression during all developmental stages and analyzed adult organs. Notably, ubi expresses in all blood...
متن کاملThe human ubiquitin C promoter directs high ubiquitous expression of transgenes in mice.
Transgenic mice provide one of the best experimental systems to study gene function in vivo. Although transgenic mice carry the additional genetic material in every cell of the body, expression of the transgenes under the control of constitutive promoter/enhancer units, such as the murine major histocompatibility complex promoter H2-Kb, the CMV enhancer/promoter, the murine Pgk-1 promoter or th...
