Mitogenic Effects of the Up-Regulation of Minichromosome Maintenance Proteins in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Anaplastic thyroid carcinomas (ATC) are among the most aggressive human malignancies and are characterized by high mitotic activity. Minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) 2-7 are required to initiate eukaryotic DNA replication, and their overexpression has been associated with dysplasia and malignancy. OBJECTIVE: In an attempt to cast light on the mechanisms governing ATC, we evaluated MCM5 and MCM7...
