Oncogenic transformation of lung epithelial cells is a multistep process, frequently starting with the inactivation of tumour suppressors and subsequent development of activating mutations in proto‐oncogenes, such as members of the PI3K or MAPK families.

Raf1 interaction with Cdc25 phosphatase ties mitogenic signal transduction to cell cycle activation [PDF]
The Ras and Raf1 proto-oncogenes transduce extracellular signals that promote cell growth. Cdc25 phosphatases activate the cell division cycle by dephosphorylation of critical threonine and tyrosine residues within the cyclin-dependent kinases.

Evolutionarily stable anti-cancer therapies by autologous cell defection [PDF]
Game theory suggests an anti-cancer treatment based on the use of modified cancer cells that disrupt cooperation within the tumor. Cancer cells are harvested from the patient, the genes for the production of essential growth factors are knocked out in ...

Myb proteins inhibit fibroblast transformation by v-Rel
Genes that cause cancer have been divided into two general classes – oncogenes that act in a dominant fashion to transform normal cells into a malignant state, and tumor suppressor genes that act in a dominant fashion to prevent such transformation.

The biology of the Ets1 proto-oncogene.
The Ets1 proto-oncoprotein is a member of the Ets family of transcription factors that share a unique DNA binding domain, the Ets domain. The DNA binding activity of Ets1 is controlled by kinases and transcription factors. Some transcription factors, such as AML-1, regulate Ets1 by targeting its autoinhibitory module.

The Proto-Oncogene TWIST1 Is Regulated by MicroRNAs
Upregulation of the proto-oncogene Twist1 is highly correlated with acquired drug resistance and poor prognosis in human cancers. Altered expression of this multifunctional transcription factor is also associated with inherited skeletal malformations. The mammalian Twist1 3'UTRs are highly conserved and contain a number of potential regulatory elements

Proto-Oncogene Ets-1 and the Kidney [PDF]
Most forms of advanced glomerular diseases, if not all, are characterized by abnormal turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins in glomeruli, resulting in structural alterations of glomerular basement membrane and mesangial matrix, usually leading to proteinuria. It is, therefore, important to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of ECM metabolism

Characterization of a human cell line stably over-expressing the candidate oncogene, dual specificity phosphatase 12. [PDF]
Analysis of chromosomal rearrangements within primary tumors has been influential in the identification of novel oncogenes. Identification of the "driver" gene(s) within cancer-derived amplicons is, however, hampered by the fact that most amplicons ...
