## Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is one of the most common human tumors in asia and africa. the molecular genetic changes involving both protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are known to be involved in hepatocarcinogenesis, but the roles of the known tumor suppressor genes in hepa

β¦ Synopsis
The genetic events underlying the development of prostate cancer are poorly defined. c-Myc is often activated in tumors that have progressed to metastatic status, so events that promote this process may be important. Bin1 is a nucleocytoplasmic adaptor protein with features of a tumor suppressor that was identified through its ability to interact with and inhibit malignant transformation by c-Myc. We investigated a role for Bin1 loss or inactivation in prostate cancer because the human Bin1 gene is located at chromosome 2q14 within a region that is frequently deleted in metastatic prostate cancer but where no tumor suppressor candidate has been located. A novel polymorphic microsatellite marker located within intron 5 of the human Bin1 gene was used to demonstrate loss of heterozygosity and coding alteration in 40% of informative cases of prostate neoplasia examined. RNA and immunohistochemical analyses indicated that Bin1 was expressed in most primary tumors, even at slightly elevated levels relative to benign tissues, but that it was frequently missing or inactivated by aberrant splicing in metastatic tumors and androgen-independent tumor cell lines. Ectopic expression of Bin1 suppressed the growth of prostate cancer lines in vitro. Our findings support the candidacy of Bin1 as the chromosome 2q prostate tumor suppressor gene.

Oncogenic activation of MYC occurs often in breast carcinoma and is associated with poor prognosis. Loss or inactivation of mechanisms that restrain MYC may therefore be involved in tumor progression. In this study, we show that the MYC-interacting adaptor protein BIN1 is frequently missing in malig
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosomal loci has been associated with the presence of tumor suppressor genes at the deleted loci. Twenty-six clinically localized, Stage B prostate carcinomas were analyzed for LOH on chromosomes 10 and 17 using microsatellite markers. Two of 26 carcinomas showed
## Abstract Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 3p21 is frequent in cervical cancers. The candidate tumor suppressor gene, __RASSF1A__ located at 3p21.3, is found to be inactivated in several major human cancers, implicating its significance in carcinogenesis. We aimed to investigate the sta
## Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor and possesses a high incidence of 10p loss. The KLF6 (Kruppelβlike transcription factor) tumor suppressor gene on 10p15 is inactivated by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and/or somatic mutation in a number
We carried out a complete genome scan for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in four renal oncocytomas by using highly polymorphic CA repeat microsatellite loci. Three of the four tumors exhibited LOH for chromosome arm I p, and the oncocytomas of both female patients lost Xq. Therefore, these chromosome
