Chemically-induced hepatic carcinogenesis is a suitable model to investigate multistep process of carcinogenesis, because preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions develop in a sequential manner. The process is initiated by emergency of "genetically altered cells" or "initiated cells" which have a potential to progress to hepatocellular carcinomas. The cells can clonally expand under the effect of tumor promoters or carcinogens. Clonal expansion will increase the probability that a cell undergoes further genetic changes. By this stepwise manner, a cell may acquire neoplastic properties such as independence to growth factors, invasive growth, loss of antigenicity, metastatic capacity, etc. The author reviewed the recent advance in studies on oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and growth factor genes concerning to rodent hepatic carcinogenesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007335 Insulin-Like Growth Factor II A well-characterized neutral peptide believed to be secreted by the LIVER and to circulate in the BLOOD. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like and mitogenic activities. The growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on SOMATOTROPIN. It is believed to be a major fetal growth factor in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I, which is a major growth factor in adults.

D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.

D016211 Transforming Growth Factor alpha An EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR related protein that is found in a variety of tissues including EPITHELIUM, and maternal DECIDUA. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form which binds to the EGF RECEPTOR.

D016259 Genes, myc Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (myc) originally isolated from an avian myelocytomatosis virus. The proto-oncogene myc (c-myc) codes for a nuclear protein which is involved in nucleic acid metabolism and in mediating the cellular response to growth factors. Truncation of the first exon, which appears to regulate c-myc expression, is crucial for tumorigenicity. The human c-myc gene is located at 8q24 on the long arm of chromosome 8.
