Egr1 mediates p53-independent c-Myc–induced apoptosis via a noncanonical ARF-dependent transcriptional mechanism

Abstract excerpt

c-Myc is frequently deregulated in human cancers. Although deregulated c-Myc leads to tumor growth, it also triggers apoptosis in partnership with tumor suppressors such as ARF and p53. Apoptosis induced by c-Myc is a critical fail-safe mechanism for the cell to protect against unrestrained proliferation. Despite the plethora of information on c-Myc, the molecular mechanism of how c-Myc induces both...
