Amplification of c-myc in hepatocellular carcinoma: correlation with clinicopathologic features, proliferative activity and p53 overexpression.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
C-myc amplification is an indicator of malignant potential and poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma and p53 alteration may be coparticipating events in the progression of these tumors.
Abstract
Expression of the proto-oncogene c- myc has been implicated in liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis. The biologic significance of c- myc gene amplification i

MYC Activation Is a Hallmark of Cancer Initiation and Maintenance

TL;DR: Tumors appear to be "addicted" to MYC because of both tumor cell-intrinsic, cell-autonomous and host-dependent, immune cell-dependent mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Myc oncoprotein as a therapeutic target for human cancer.

TL;DR: An overview of Myc activation in human tumors is given and current strategies aimed at targeting Myc for cancer treatment are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetate dependence of tumors.

TL;DR: It is shown that the nucleocytosolic acetyl-CoA synthetase enzyme, ACSS2, supplies a key source of acetyl -CoA for tumors by capturing acetate as a carbon source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocellular carcinoma--cause, treatment and metastasis.

TL;DR: Biotherapy, such as cytokines, differentiation inducers, anti-angiogenic agents, gene therapy and tumor vaccine will probably play a role, particularly in the prevention of tumor recurrence, and HCC invasiveness is currently the major target of study.
Journal ArticleDOI

The prognostic molecular markers in hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma still remains dismal, although many advances in its clinical study have been made and more and more new prognostic markers with high sensitivity and specificity will be found and used in clinical assays.

p53 mutations in human lymphoid malignancies: association with Burkitt lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that p53 may play a role in tumor progression in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the presence of both p53 loss/inactivation and c-myc oncogene activation may be important in the pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma and its leukemic form L3-type B- cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

An immunochemical analysis of the human nuclear phosphoprotein p53. New monoclonal antibodies and epitope mapping using recombinant p53.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used bacterial expression systems to produce fragments of human p53 and then isolated and characterized new monoclonal antibodies to p53, which are suitable for the measurement of p53 in ELISA, immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation analyses.

Nucleolar organizer regions in lymphomas

TL;DR: Using a silver staining technique, nucleolar organizer region‐associated proteins (Ag‐NORs) have been studied in paraffin sections of 90 non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas, five palatine tonsils and five ‘reactive’ lymph nodes.
Journal Article

New Ki-67-equivalent murine monoclonal antibodies (MIB 1-3) generated against bacterially expressed parts of the Ki-67 cDNA containing three 62 base pair repetitive elements encoding for the Ki-67 epitope.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to use bacterially expressed parts of the Ki-67 antigen as immunogen to elicit antibodies that react with the native antigen, and the new antibodies may become powerful tools for routine histopathology and for further functional characterization of the KS antigen.
