Immortalization of Primary Human Prostate Epithelial Cells by c-Myc
15 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
A significant percentage of prostate tumors have amplifications of the c-Myc gene, but the precise role of c-Myc in prostate cancer is not fully understood. Immortalization of human epithelial cells involves both inactivation of the Rb/p16INK4a pathway and telomere maintenance, and it has been recapitulated in culture by expression of the catalytic subunit of telomerase, hTERT, in combination with viral...
