Abstract:
We have developed a graphical image database CancerProView (URL: http://cancerproview.dmb.med.keio.ac.jp/php/cpv.html) to assist the search for alterations of the motifs/domains in the cancer-related proteins that are caused by mutations in the corresponding genes. For the CancerProView, we have collected various kinds of data on 180 cancer-related proteins in terms of the motifs/domains, genomic structures of corresponding genes, and 109 charts of the protein interaction pathways. Moreover, we have collected the relevant data on 1041 reference genes including 197 non-cancer disease-associated genes, and the nucleotide sequences for 2011 full-length cDNA's and the alternatively spliced transcript variants. Thus, the CancerProView database system would provide valuable information to facilitate basic cancer research as well as for designing new molecular diagnosis and drug discovery for cancers. The CancerProView database can be operated via Internet with any Web browser, and the system is freely available to interested users without ID and password.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
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.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
