Tbx2 Is Overexpressed and Plays an Important Role in Maintaining Proliferation and Suppression of Senescence in Melanomas
15 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
The INK4a and ARF genes found at the CDKN2A locus are key effectors of cellular senescence that is believed to act as a powerful anticancer mechanism. Accordingly, mutations in these genes are present in a wide variety of spontaneous human cancers and CDKN2A germ line mutations are found in familial melanoma. The TBX2 gene encoding a key developmental transcription factor is amplified in pancreatic cancer cell...
