Thrombin Protease-activated Receptor-1 Signals through Gq- and G13-initiated MAPK Cascades Regulating c-Jun Expression to Induce Cell Transformation [PDF]
Although the ability of G protein-coupled receptors to stimulate normal and aberrant cell growth has been intensely investigated, the precise nature of the molecular mechanisms underlying their transforming potential are still not fully understood.

Immunohistochemical evaluation of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast carcinoma in Jordan [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Although breast carcinoma (BC) is the most common malignancy affecting Jordanian females and the affected population in Jordan is younger than that in the West, no information is available on its biological characteristics. Our aims in this

TheMASProto-oncogene Is Imprinted in Human Breast Tissue
The human MAS proto-oncogene is situated at 6q25.3-q26, a region that is homologous to mouse chromosome 17 where two parentally imprinted genes (Mas and Igf2r) have previously been identified. We investigated the imprinting status of MAS in adult lesions to establish the imprinting status of this gene in humans, as certain imprinted genes are known to ...

BAC-FISH assays delineate complex chromosomal rearrangements in a case of post-Chernobyl childhood thyroid cancer [PDF]
Structural chromosome aberrations are known hallmarks of many solid tumors. In the papillary form of thyroid cancer (PTC), for example, activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) genes, RET and neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type I (NTRK1)

A higher Angiogenin expression is associated with a non-nuclear Maspin location in laryngeal carcinoma [PDF]
Objectives. In numerous malignancies, angiogenin (ANG) and Maspin are important proangiogenic and antiangiogenic regulators, respectively. The aim of this study was to identify potential relationships between the biological roles of these two proteins in

The mouse homolog of the human proto-oncogene MAS was mapped by two interspecific backcrosses to the proximal portion of MMU17. Higher resolution mapping was accomplished through the analysis of genotypes duplicated or deleted for a megabase-size subregion within MMU17.
