Germ-line mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes predispose women to develop cancers of the breast and ovary, but the biologic functions of these genes remains unclear. We have investigated the responses of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene products to cytotoxic agents in 3 human ovarian cancer cell lines: S

## Abstract The proliferationβspecific Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) transcription factor is overexpressed in cancer cells and acts as an important regulator of cancer cell growth and survival. Here, we show the molecular mechanisms by which hypoxia regulate FoxM1 expression in cancer cells. When cells w
BACKGROUND. BRCA1 and BRCA2 participate in cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and DNA repair pathways. The latter role may be mediated by interaction with DNA recombinase Rad51. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of genotoxic and other cytotoxic agents on expression of DNA damage-
Binding of activated a 2 -macroglobulin (a 2 M) to LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) in Schwann cells activates ERK/MAP kinase and Akt and thereby promotes cell survival and migration. The goal of this study was to determine whether a 2 M binding to LRP1 regulates expression of cytokines and che
