Molecular Mechanisms of Hepatocarcinogenesis in Transgenic Mouse Models of Liver Cancer
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of c-myc and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha) has been frequently observed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),suggesting a pivotal role played by these protooncogenes in liver oncogenesis. In order to investigate the molecular events underlying human hepatic malignant transformation, we have generated c-myc and c-myc/ TGF-alpha transgenic mice that are prone to liver cancer. These...
