Adhesion-independent growth is a neoplastic phenotype that is inducible in Rat 1a fibroblasts by enforced MYC expression. The c-Myc protein has been well characterized as a transcription factor, yet the molecular basis of c-Myc-induced neoplastic transformation has remained elusive. In this report, we demonstrate a link between ectopic MYC expression, deregulated cyclin A levels, and adhesion-independent growth.
非粘附性生长是一种肿瘤表型,通过强制表达MYC可在大鼠1a成纤维细胞中诱导产生。c-Myc蛋白已被充分表征为一种转录因子,然而c-Myc诱导肿瘤转化的分子基础仍然难以捉摸。在本报告中,我们证明了异位MYC表达、细胞周期蛋白A水平失调与非粘附性生长之间的联系。
