Analysis of MDM2 and MDM4 single nucleotide polymorphisms, mRNA splicing and protein expression in retinoblastoma. [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is a childhood cancer of the developing retina that begins in utero and is diagnosed in the first years of life. Biallelic RB1 gene inactivation is the initiating genetic lesion in retinoblastoma.

Post-translational modifications on the retinoblastoma protein [PDF]
The retinoblastoma protein (pRb) functions as a cell cycle regulator controlling G1 to S phase transition and plays critical roles in tumour suppression. It is frequently inactivated in various tumours.

Retinoblastoma Protein Paralogs and Tumor Suppression [PDF]
The retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB1) is the first tumor suppressor gene discovered and a prototype for understanding regulatory networks that function in opposition to oncogenic stimuli.

Update on pathology of retinoblastoma [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is caused by mutational inactivation of both alleles of the RB1 gene, which maps to chromosome 13q14 and encodes retinoblastoma protein that acts as a tumor suppressor.

IL-18 suppresses retinoblastoma growth while concomitantly inducing an inflammation-/stress-associated and immune-remodeling response [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignancy in childhood and remains associated with substantial treatment related morbidity. Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is an immunomodulatory cytokine with context dependent roles in cancer, yet its functional ...

Nitric oxide suppression by secreted frizzled-related protein 2 drives retinoblastoma
Summary: Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the infant retina primarily driven by loss of the Rb tumor suppressor gene, which is undruggable. Here, we report an autocrine signaling, mediated by secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (SFRP2), which suppresses ...

Background Most human cancers show inactivation of both pRB- and p53-pathways. While retinoblastomas are initiated by loss of the RB1 tumor suppressor gene, TP53 mutations have not been found.
