Abstract:
Cellular oncogenes are frequently activated or deregulated in human malignant tumors. We have analyzed the expression of cellular oncogenes in human leukemia by Northern blot experiments in a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this case the cellular oncogenes N-myc, c-myb, c-fes and c-met were expressed at high levels. This is in contrast to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, where these genes could not be detected. c-src2-specific RNA was not seen in either AML or PBMC cells but readily appeared in CLL cells. This appears to represent further evidence that in leukemic cells multiple cellular oncogenes might be activated.

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.
