โœฆ Synopsis

Proto-oncogenes are normal genes which affect normal cell growth and proliferation, but which have the potential to contribute to cancer development if their expression is altered. A variety of events may activate proto-oncogenes and convert them from benign genes to cancer genes. These events include mutations of nucleic acid sequences, chromosomal rearrangements, and amplification of the number of genes. The observations that alterations in specific gene sequences frequently accompany neoplasia have provided the first insights into the pathogenesis of human cancer at the molecular level. These insights offer new opportunities for developing cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether cultured colonic adenoma and carcinoma cells undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death) in vitro and whether specific growth and dietary factors, thought to be involved in the control of growth and differentiation of human colonic cells, could induce
