Analysis of c-fos, c-jun, c-erbB1, c-erbB2 and c-myc in primary lung carcinomas and their lymph node metastases. 1994

The purpose of this study was to identify possible alterations in proto-oncogenes (c-fos, c-jun, c-erbB1, c-erbB2 and c-myc) at the protein level in primary lung carcinomas and simultaneous metastatic lymph nodes of 21 patients. The analysis showed that proteins of c-jun and c-myc were expressed in a significantly higher frequency in metastases than in primary lung tumors. Gross differences were not found between primary tumors and metastatic tumors with regard to the expression of c-erbB1, c-erbB2 and c-fos. The finding of cases with a higher expression of c-jun and c-myc in lymph nodes suggests that metastatic capability may be higher in certain cell populations.

D016755 Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-jun Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-jun genes (GENES, JUN). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. There appear to be three distinct functions: dimerization (with c-fos), DNA-binding, and transcriptional activation. Oncogenic transformation can take place by constitutive expression of c-jun. c-fos-Associated Protein p39,c-jun Proteins,fos-Associated Protein p39,jun B Proteins,jun D Proteins,jun Proto-Oncogene Proteins,p39(c-jun),Proto-Oncogene Products c-jun,Proto-Oncogene Proteins jun,jun Proto-Oncogene Product p39,p39 c-jun,Proto Oncogene Products c jun,Proto Oncogene Proteins c jun,Proto Oncogene Proteins jun,c fos Associated Protein p39,c jun Proteins,fos Associated Protein p39,jun Proto Oncogene Product p39,jun Proto Oncogene Proteins,p39 c jun
D016760 Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-fos Cellular DNA-binding proteins encoded by the c-fos genes (GENES, FOS). They are involved in growth-related transcriptional control. c-fos combines with c-jun (PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-JUN) to form a c-fos/c-jun heterodimer (TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1) that binds to the TRE (TPA-responsive element) in promoters of certain genes.
