Myc-driven murine prostate cancer shares molecular features with human prostate tumors.

Cancer cell | 2003

Increased Myc gene copy number is observed in human prostate cancer. To define Myc's functional role, we generated transgenic mice expressing human c-Myc in the mouse prostate. All mice developed murine prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia followed by invasive adenocarcinoma. Microarray-based expression profiling identified a Myc prostate cancer expression signature, which included the putative human tumor suppressor NXK3.1. Human prostate tumor databases revealed modules of human genes that varied in concert with the Myc prostate cancer signature. This module includes the Pim-1 kinase, a gene known to cooperate with Myc in tumorigenesis, and defines a subset of human, "Myc-like" human cancers. This approach illustrates how genomic technologies can be applied to mouse cancer models to guide evaluation of human tumor databases.

HomoloGene (tool)

RRID:SCR_002924

Automated system for constructing putative homology groups from complete gene sets of wide range of eukaryotic species. Databse that provides system for automatic detection of homologs, including paralogs and orthologs, among annotated genes of sequenced eukaryotic genomes. HomoloGene processing uses proteins from input organisms to compare and sequence homologs, mapping back to corresponding DNA sequences. Reports include homology and phenotype information drawn from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, Mouse Genome Informatics, Zebrafish Information Network, Saccharomyces Genome Database and FlyBase.
