Disease relevance of Mcm2

  • The aim of this study was to assess the proliferative activity of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in tissue microarray (TMA) using one of the minichromosome maintenance proteins (Mcm2) and to explore its potential value to predict prognosis [1].
  • The use of reverse transcription-PCR for the detection of expression in human melanoma in vitro was performed to study the potential role of clone 10d/BM28 in this disease [2].
 

High impact information on Mcm2

  • These results suggest that clone 10d/BM28 functions as an important tumor cell growth promoter [2].
  • The expression of BM28 is not regulated by RA in human, RA-resistant melanoma cells [2].
  • Immunohistological analysis demonstrates a direct concordance between expression of EGFP and Mcm2, consistent with a transcriptional level downregulation of Mcm2 expression in postmitotic cells [3].
  • Previous studies have demonstrated expression of the minichromosome maintenance protein Mcm2 in cells that remain competent to divide, including stem/progenitor cells of the subventricular zone (SVZ) within the brain [3].
  • In this report we show that the G1 phase-specific expression of the replication factor Mcm2 is a useful marker for detecting slowly cycling putative NSCs in situ and confirm the identity of these cells using both cytosine beta-D-arabinofuranoside (Ara-C) treatment and a double nucleoside analog-labeling technique [4].
