Mechanism of Retinoblastoma Gene Inactivation in the Spectrum of Neuroendocrine Lung Tumors
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma (RB) gene plays a key role in cell cycle control by regulation of G1 growth arrest. This gene is inactivated in some human cancers and in most small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell lines. The aim of this study was to analyze the mechanisms of RB silencing in freshly excised neuroendocrine (NE) tumors embracing the entire spectrum of NE lung neoplasms (typical and atypical carcinoids, large-cell...
