myc Family DNA Amplification in Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients' Tumors and Corresponding Cell Lines1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tumor specimens procured from 38 different small cell lung cancer patients were studied for DNA amplification of the myc family of protooncogenes (c-myc, \-myc, and 1.-myc). Six of the 38 specimens (16%) had 4-fold or greater myc family DNA amplification (N-myc in 4 and Lmyc in 2). All 6 tumors with amplification came from patients who had received combination chemotherapy. The myc family gene copy number of the DNA prepared from 9 tumor cell lines established from these 38 patients was similar to the myc family gene copy number in the DNA prepared from fresh tumor specimens from these same patients, myc family DNA amplification is present in 16% of small cell lung cancer patients' tumors and the amplification pattern in the tumor cell lines is representative of the fresh tumors obtained from the same patients.

متن کاملmyc family oncogene amplification in tumor cell lines established from small cell lung cancer patients and its relationship to clinical status and course.
44 small cell lung cancer cell lines established from 227 patients were studied for myc family DNA amplification (c-myc, N-myc, and L-myc). Two of 19 lines (11%) established from untreated patients' tumors had DNA amplification (one N-myc and one L-myc), compared with 11 of 25 (5 c-myc, 3 N-myc, and 3 L-myc) cell lines (44%) established from relapsed patients' tumors (P = 0.04). The 19 patients...

We studied 107 specimens (38 tumors and 69 tumor cell lines) from 90 patients with small cell lung cancer to determine the characteristics and clinical situations of patients from whom tumor cell lines could be established and the myc family DNA copy number. The proportion of extensive stage small cell lung cancer patients from whom a tumor cell line could be established prior to the initiation...

متن کاملEvaluation of HER2, MDM2, MYC, MET and TP53 gene copy number alterations in gastric cancer patients
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is considered as one of the most common types of cancer worldwide with poor prognosis and generally limited treatment options. Recent studies have indicated that HER2, MDM2, MYC, MET, and TP53 play an important role in the development of gastric cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of amplification/deletion of these genes in pati...
