Abstract

The transcription factor E2F1 is a key component of cell cycle that acts to transactivate genes required for S phase entry. Thus, it plays an important role in cellular proliferation, oncogenesis and differentiation. In order to investigate its potential implication in human lung carcinogenesis, we studied E2F1 protein expression by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry in a series of 58 human lung tumours of all histological types. We showed that E2F1 product was overexpressed in 92% (24/26) of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and in 50% (5/10) of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) whereas it was undetectable in 90% (10/11) of adenocarcinoma and 82% (9/11) of squamous carcinoma when compared to corresponding normal lung. No amplification was found but an increase in E2F1 mRNA expression was detected in 75% (18/24) of SCLC overexpressing E2F1 product. In these tumours and in contrast with NSCLC, upregulation of E2F1 product was associated with its nuclear accumulation and with overexpression of several of its target-genes. Moreover, E2F1 overexpression in NE lung tumours was significantly associated with a high KI67 index (P<0.0001) as well as a Bcl-2:Bax ratio >1 (P<0.001). Overall, these results demonstrate a dis...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
