Hepatotoxin-Induced Changes in the Adult Murine Liver Promote MYC-Induced Tumorigenesis
17 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Overexpression of the human c-MYC (MYC) oncogene is one of the most frequently implicated events in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previously, we have shown in a conditional transgenic mouse model that MYC overexpression is restrained from inducing mitotic cellular division and tumorigenesis in the adult liver; whereas, in marked contrast, MYC induces robust proliferation...
