Unveiling cell-type-specific microRNA networks through alternative polyadenylation in glioblastoma [PDF]
Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by its cellular complexity, with a microenvironment consisting of diverse cell types, including oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) and neoplastic CD133 + radial glia-like cells.

Gene regulation and genetic susceptibility to neoplastic transformation: AP-1 and p80 expression in JB6 cells. [PDF]
The mouse epidermal JB6 cell system consists of clonal genetic variants that are sensitive (P+) or resistant (P-) to the promotion of neoplastic transformation by phorbol esters and other tumor-promoting agents. P+ cells display AP-1-dependent phorbol-ester-inducible transactivation of gene expression, whereas P- cells have a defect in transactivation.

p53 increases intra-cellular calcium release by transcriptional regulation of calcium channel TRPC6 in GaQ3-treated cancer cells. [PDF]
p53 and calcium signaling are inter-dependent and are known to show both synergistic and antagonistic effects on each other in the cellular environment.

Id1 Gene Expression Is Up-Regulated in Hyperplastic and Neoplastic Thyroid Tissue and Regulates Growth and Differentiation in Thyroid Cancer Cells [PDF]
The Id (inhibitor of DNA binding) proteins are a family of helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins (Id1, Id2, Id3, and Id4) that lack the basic domain necessary for DNA binding. The Id1 protein enhances cell proliferation and inhibits cellular differentiation in a variety of cell types.

Relevance of miR-223 as Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Markers in Cancer
In 1993, the discovery of microRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) altered the paradigmatic view of RNA biology and post-transcriptional gene regulation. Further study revealed the role of microRNAs in disease development and progression.

Laser-captured microdissection-microarray analysis of the genes involved in endometrial carcinogenesis: stepwise up-regulation of lipocalin2 expression in normal and neoplastic endometria and its functional relevance [PDF]
Endometrial carcinoma often arises from normal endometrial glandular cells via a precursor, atypical endometrial hyperplasia. However, the genetic changes involved in this carcinogenetic process are not fully understood. Differentially expressed genes were selected from glandular cells of normal proliferative-phase endometria, atypical endometrial ...
