Bmi-1 Cooperates with H-Ras to Transform Human Mammary Epithelial Cells via Dysregulation of Multiple Growth-Regulatory Pathways
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Elevated expression of Bmi-1 is associated with many cancers, including breast cancer. Here, we examined the oncogenic potential of Bmi-1 in MCF10A cells, a spontaneously immortalized, nontransformed strain of human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC). Bmi-1 overexpression alone in MCF10A cells did not result in oncogenic transformation. However, Bmi-1 co-overexpression with activated H-Ras (RasG12V) resulted in...
