La expresión de un oncogén celular durante la regeneración hepática
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|February 4, 1983
Resumen
Las transcripciones ras de oncogenes celulares aumentan durante la regeneración del hígado de la rata después de una lesión. Este aumento regulado en la expresión oncogénica ras se produce con la activación de la síntesis de ADN y vuelve a los niveles normales en 72 horas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Biología molecular La biología molecular.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Oncología Oncología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Los oncogenes celulares juegan un papel en el crecimiento y desarrollo celular.
- Los oncogenes ras son homólogos a los genes transformadores virales.
- La regeneración del hígado implica complejas vías de señalización celular.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel del ras oncogénico celular durante la regeneración hepática.
- Para determinar si los niveles de transcripción ras cambian durante el crecimiento del hígado no neoplásico.
Principales métodos:
- La hepatectomía parcial y la lesión por tetracloruro de carbono se utilizaron para inducir la regeneración hepática en ratas.
- Cuantificación de las transcripciones ras en el ARN polisomal poliadenilado hepático.
Principales resultados:
- Los niveles de transcripción Ras aumentaron significativamente durante la regeneración hepática.
- El aumento de las transcripciones ras coincidió con la activación de la síntesis del ADN.
- Los niveles de transcripción Ras volvieron a los niveles basales dentro de las 72 horas posteriores a la lesión.
Conclusiones:
- El ras oncogénico celular está regulado por transcripción durante la regeneración hepática.
- La expresión del oncogén Ras se modula de manera controlada durante los procesos de crecimiento no neoplásicos.

01:58Cell Specific Gene Expression
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...
01:33Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
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.

01:03Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.

01:24Liver Regeneration
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are large...

01:24Cirrhosis II: Pathophysiology
Cirrhosis is a progressive chronic liver injury caused by prolonged inflammation, excessive fibrotic remodeling, and impaired regeneration. Over time, repeated hepatic insults disrupt the liver’s architecture and function, leading to reduced blood flow, impaired bile drainage, and diminished metabolic capacity.Pathophysiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis arises from three main responses to chronic liver damage: inflammation, immune activation, and hepatocyte death. These processes lead to structural...
