Abstract excerpt
Activation of growth factor receptors by ligand binding leads to an increased expression of c-Myc, a transcriptional regulator for cell proliferation. The activation of transcriptional factors via the activated receptors is thought to be the main role of c-Myc gene expression. We demonstrate here that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)-mediated c-Myc induction...
