Associations of MCC with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of MCC

  • We evaluated 20 additional cases of MCC and found that 21 of 22 tumors (95%) expressed CD117 [23].
  • Overexpression of the MCC protein blocked the serum-induced cell cycle transition from the G1 to S phase, whereas a mutant MCC, initially identified in a colorectal tumor, did not exhibit this activity [24].
  • CONCLUSIONS: MCC possesses the ability to directly induce apoptosis of LNCaP cells and to trigger the synthesis of IL-12 and GM-CSF by these cells, suggesting a potential role of MCC for the treatment of prostate cancer [25].
 

Other interactions of MCC

  • Allelic deletions of MCC/APC and p53 are frequent late events in human gastric carcinogenesis [16].
  • The morphological and molecular features of MCC1 and its corresponding primary tumor are consistent with a model for non-invasive MCC, where K-RAS, P16, P53 and MUC1 alterations are pre-invasive changes associated with progression of malignancy of MCT from adenoma to carcinoma [4].
  • Here we report the identification of five polymorphic systems in MCC gene (both cDNA and genomic), one of which is an insertion/deletion polymorphism that is detectable by a polymerase chain reaction method [26].
  • PBL, LPL and IEL demonstrated MICC for Chang cells but, contrasting with PBL and LPL, IEL showed no MCC for CRBC [27].
  • We investigated the frequency and clinical significance of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the APC, MCC, and DCC tumor suppressor gene loci in 108 cases of resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [28].
