Various studies have proven the involvement of Myc in cell growth and proliferation but also cell transformation and tumorigenesis. Since regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation is mandatory in bone metabolism, we investigated the role of Myc ...
Expression of surface immunoglobulin appears critical for the growth and survival of B-cell lymphomas. In follicular lymphoma, we found previously that the Ig variable (V) regions in the B-cell receptor express a strikingly high incidence of N-glycosylatio ...

Cancer cells have a raised cellular metabolism, including increased protein biosynthesis. Three new studies now show that the oncoprotein Myc, known to drive cell division, also enhances ribosomal RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase I in addition to controllin ...
The c-myc proto-oncogene, which is crucial for the progression of many human cancers, has been implicated in key cellular processes in diverse cell types, including endothelial cells that line the blood vessels and are critical for angiogenesis. The de nov ...
Recent technological advances allow analysis of genomic changes in cancer in unprecedented detail. The next challenge is to prioritize the multitude of genetic aberrations found and identify therapeutic opportunities. We recently completed a study that ill ...
Motivated by the recent implication of cysteine protease cathepsin L as a potential target for anti-cancer drug development, we used a conditional MycER(TAM); Bcl-x(L) model of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumorigenesis (PNET) to assess the role of cathepsin ...
c-Myc is involved in the control of diverse cellular processes and implicated in the maintenance of different tissues including the neural crest. Here we report that c-Myc is particularly important for pigment cell development and homeostasis. Targeting c- ...
The ability to reprogram adult cells into stem cells has raised hopes for novel therapies for many human diseases. Typical stem cell reprogramming protocols involve expression of a small number of genes in differentiated somatic cells with the c-Myc and Kl ...
The nuclear protein c-Myc is one of the most potent proto-oncogenes described. Its expression is found to be deregulated in more than 50 percent of human cancers, where it has been shown to control a number of biological processes including driving prolife ...
In the adult liver, 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene (TCPOBOP), an agonist of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3), produces rapid hepatomegaly in the absence of injury. In this study, we identify c-Myc as a gene induced by CAR and ...
