Increased NBS1 Expression Is a Marker of Aggressive Head and Neck Cancer and Overexpression of NBS1 Contributes to Transformation
15 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents the sixth most frequent type of cancer worldwide. However, the molecular genetic alterations underlying its malignant behavior and progression are little known. We showed previously that c-MYC directly activates the expression of the DNA double-strand break repair gene NBS1, and NBS1 overexpression contributes to transformation. Here, we...
