Abstract:
Co-culturing of P-815 tumor cell strain and intact mouse bone marrow cells nonadherent to plastic resulted in the appearance of soluble mediators with antitumor activity. Bone marrow cells start releasing these antiproliferative factors only after signal exchange with the target tumor cells. The cell-cell contact is an important factor for the induction of antitumor activity. Antitumor activity of bone marrow cells (similarly as immunosuppressive activity) is realized through suppressor factors; the appearance of these factors is induced by target tumor cells.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
Cancer-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.
