MicroRNA-92b targets tumor suppressor gene FBXW7 in glioblastoma [PDF]
IntroductionGlioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and lethal primary brain tumor. Despite limited treatment options, the overall survival of GBM patients has shown minimal improvement over the past two decades.

Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes
In the past 15 years, many of the mechanisms underlying the molecular origins of cancer have been uncovered, and a clear picture of the role of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in carcinogenesis has developed. This article reviews the mechanisms by which oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes participate in the creation of tumors.

EAF2: a tumor suppressor gene with multi-aspect functions [PDF]
Since ELL-associated factor 2 (EAF2) was identified in 1997 as an androgen response gene, it has been of medical and scientific interest. Early studies demonstrated the tumor-suppressing function of EAF2 in the prostate.

Ocular manifestations in pediatric tumor suppressor gene mutations: a case series and literature review of RB1, NF1, NF2, VHL, and TSC [PDF]
Background This study explores ocular manifestations in children with mutations in key tumor suppressor genes (RB1, NF1, NF2, VHL, TSC1/2), which are linked to common pediatric hereditary cancer syndromes.

Retinoblastoma Protein Paralogs and Tumor Suppression
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.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is ubiquitous and carried by approximately 90% of the world’s adult population. Several mechanisms and pathways have been proposed as to how EBV facilitates the pathogenesis and progression of malignancies, such as Hodgkin’s ...

Tumour suppressor genes are a class of genes that have a crucial role in the genesis of neoplasia. These genes when transcribed and translated, result in the production of proteins that regulate the cell cycle, repair any DNA mutations and control apoptosis.

Loss of Expression of Reprimo, a p53-induced Cell Cycle Arrest Gene, Correlates with Invasive Stage of Tumor Progression and p73 Expression in Gastric Cancer. [PDF]
Reprimo (RPRM), a downstream effector of p53-induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M, has been proposed as a putative tumor suppressor gene (TSG) and as a potential biomarker for non-invasive detection of gastric cancer (GC).

An anti-cancer surveillance by the interplay between interferon-beta and retinoblastoma protein RB1
Interferon-beta (IFN-β), an extracellular cytokine that initiates signaling pathways for gene regulation, has been demonstrated to function as a tumor suppressor protein through lentiviral gene transduction.
