BMI1 and Mel-18 oppositely regulate carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer
21 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The BMI1 oncogene is overexpressed in several human malignancies including gastric cancer. In addition to BMI1, mammalian cells also express Mel-18, which is closely related to BMI1. We have reported that Mel-18 functions as a potential tumor suppressor by repressing the expression of BMI1 and consequent downregulation of activated AKT in breast cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of BMI1...
