Oncogenes in retroviruses, malignancy, and normal tissues.

S W Lacey

    The American Journal of the Medical Sciences
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Oncogenes, linked to cancer, regulate cell growth and differentiation. Their discovery involved retroviruses, and they play roles in normal development and tissue repair, such as embryogenesis and liver regeneration.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Oncogenes are implicated in cancer development.
    • Their primary functions involve cellular proliferation and differentiation.
    • Understanding oncogenes is crucial for cancer research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the discovery and characterization of oncogenes.
    • To explore the role of retroviruses in oncogene research.
    • To discuss the involvement of oncogenes in both normal development and disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of preliminary research on oncogene discovery.
    • Analysis of retroviral life cycles and their use in identifying oncogenes.
    • Case studies of chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Burkitt's lymphoma and the myc oncogene).

    Main Results:

    • Oncogenes were identified through association with retroviruses.
    • Chromosomal abnormalities, like those in Burkitt's lymphoma, highlight oncogene involvement.
    • Oncogenes are essential for normal biological processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Retroviruses were instrumental in discovering and characterizing oncogenes.
    • Oncogenes are critical regulators of cell growth and differentiation.
    • Their functions extend to normal processes like embryogenesis and hepatic regeneration.
