Direct Involvement of Retinoblastoma Family Proteins in DNA Repair by Non-homologous End-Joining. [PDF]
Deficiencies in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair lead to genetic instability, a recognized cause of cancer initiation and evolution. We report that the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB1) is required for DNA DSB repair by canonical non ...

Fundoscopy is the standard method for diagnosis and follow‐up of intraocular retinoblastoma, but it is sometimes insufficient to discern whether tumors are inactivated following treatments.

MDM2 is the principal inhibitor of p53, and MDM2 inhibitors can disrupt the physical interaction between MDM2 and p53. The half-life of p53 is very short in normal cells and tissues, and an uncontrolled increase in p53 levels has potential harmful ...

The Human Retinoblastoma Gene Is Imprinted
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process leading to parent-of-origin-specific DNA methylation and gene expression. To date, approximately 60 imprinted human genes are known. Based on genome-wide methylation analysis of a patient with multiple imprinting defects, we have identified a differentially methylated CpG island in intron 2 of the ...

Analysis of the p53 pathway in peripheral blood of retinoblastoma patients; potential biomarkers.
Loss of retinoblastoma (RB) function in the cone cells during retina development is necessary but not sufficient for retinoblastoma development. It has been reported that in the absence of RB activity, a retinoma is generated, and the onset of retina ...

The Retinoblastoma Gene and its Significance
The first human tumour suppressor gene, the Retinoblastoma Susceptibility gene (RB1) was first demonstrated in retinoblastoma, a rare paediatric eye tumour which has been studied extensively over the last century. Genetic studies of retinoblastoma have yielded unique insights into familial cancer syndromes and the mechanisms of oncogenesis by tumour ...

Fuzzy tandem repeats containing p53 response elements may define species-specific p53 target genes. [PDF]
Evolutionary forces that shape regulatory networks remain poorly understood. In mammals, the Rb pathway is a classic example of species-specific gene regulation, as a germline mutation in one Rb allele promotes retinoblastoma in humans, but not in mice ...

Transcriptome analysis reveals molecularly distinct subtypes in retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is the most frequent intraocular malignancy in children. Little is known on the molecular basis underlying the biological and clinical behavior of this cancer. Here, using gene expression profiles, we demonstrate the existence of two major
