Oncogene expression in myelopoiesis.

P T Rowley, G R Skuse

    International Journal of Cell Cloning
    |July 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Oncogenes are linked to cancer and may arise from normal proto-oncogenes. Their role in myeloid leukemias and normal cell development is under investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Oncology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Oncogenes are implicated in neoplasia.
    • They are identified by their ability to induce a neoplastic phenotype in cells.
    • Oncogenes are thought to originate from proto-oncogenes through genetic alterations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the role of oncogenes in neoplasia.
    • To discuss the known functions and origins of oncogenes.
    • To highlight the limited understanding of oncogenes in myeloid leukemias and normal myelopoiesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Mutational analysis of retroviral genotypes.
    • In vitro transfection of rodent fibroblasts with tumor cell DNA.
    • Review of existing literature on selected oncogenes.

    Main Results:

    • Oncogenes transform cells to a neoplastic phenotype.
    • Proto-oncogenes are normal cellular genes that can become oncogenes.
    • The normal function of proto-oncogenes may involve differentiation regulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Oncogenes play a critical role in cancer development.
    • Further research is needed to understand oncogene involvement in myeloid leukemias and normal myelopoiesis.
    • Key oncogenes discussed include myc, myb, fos, fms, fes, sis, and abl.
