Objective:
To investigate the possible roles of MT1M gene on the cell cycle and signaling pathway of Hep-G2.
Methods:
Hep-G2 human hepatoma cells made by transfection with expressible MT1M gene, and the cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry, and the signaling pathway was measured by dual luciferase assay in Hep-G2 cells.
Results:
MT1M gene was able to induce changes of the cell cycle and the activation of NF-kappaB pathway in Hep-G2 cells.
Conclusion:
MT1M gene may affect the cell cycle in Hep-G2 and activate the NF-kappaB-dependent transcription.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Molecular Factors Affecting Cell Division
Several proteins function as internal regulators to ensure each cell cycle stage is completed faithfully before proceeding to the next. Regulator molecules may act directly or influence the activity or production of other...
