Abstract:
It is becoming gradually evident that the dysregulated cell proliferation and differentiation in neoplasia are associated with aberrant functions of specific genes in the genome. Genes and their cellular functions involved in cell proliferation and differentiation are highly conserved among different species. Therefore, the illustration of evolutionary relationships among gene products in different species can provide structural and functional insights, leading to neoplastic studies in lower animals that can help to understand the mechanisms of neoplastic development in vertebrates including humans. This review introduces the possibility that studies with lethal giant larvae (lgl) tumor suppressor family members can provide a better understanding of their functional roles during tumor development in eukaryotic cells.

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

01:05Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
