Induced c-Myc overexpression coordinates the expression of genes necessary for cells to engage in glutamine catabolism that exceeds the cellular requirement for protein and nucleotide biosynthesis.

The c-myc gene was discovered as the cellular homolog of the retroviral v-myc oncogene 20 years ago (23, 25, 167). The c-myc proto-oncogene was subsequently found to be activated in various animal and human tumors (37, 39, 42).

This paper demonstrates the multiple innate oncogenic properties of c-Myc activation in vivo, when c-Myc-induced apoptosis is inhibited.

c-MYC is one of the most essential transcriptional factors, regulating a diverse array of cellular functions, including proliferation, growth, and apoptosis. Dysregulation of c-MYC is essential in the pathogenesis of a number of B-cell lymphomas, ...

This review outlines the nature and regulation of the c-myc gene and of c-Myc and presents the systems and conditions in which Myc-related apoptotic events occur. Hypotheses of the mechanisms by which expression and repression of c-myc lead to apoptosis are discussed.

2021年8月25日 · c-MYC controls global gene expression and regulates cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell cycle, metabolism and apoptosis. According to some estimates, MYC is dysregulated in ≈70% of human cancers and strong evidence implicates aberrantly expressed MYC in both tumor initiation and maintenance.

The c-Myc oncoprotein (herein referred to as c-Myc) is a transcription factor that regulates many genes involved in apoptosis, differentiation, and proliferation. 142 The C-terminus of c-Myc heterodimerizes with the Max protein and forms a DNA-binding basic …

2018年5月3日 · c-MYC induces mammary tumorigenesis by means of a preferred pathway involving spontaneous Kras2 mutations.

2012年1月12日 · c-MYC is a protooncogene with a deregulated expression that is associated with the development of tumors in mice and humans; for this reason, its role in tumor cell biology has been investigated extensively. 17 This transcription factor is also involved in several processes in nontransformed cells, including cell growth and apoptosis/survival ...

6 天之前 · c-MYC is an oncogenic transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the regulation of downstream targets involved in proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, metabolism, signaling, and immune response processes whose deregulation leads to the progression of different pathologies. The development of selective and potent small-molecule inhibitors of c-MYC remains a grand …
