The EMS1 gene encodes an 80185 kDa C-src substrate and localises with the CCNDl gene to chromosome I lq13. This locus is amplified in approximately 13% of human breast cancers. E M S I gene amplification and expression were charactensed in a panel of human breast cancer cell lines to determine at wh

Abstract
The mannose 6‐phosphate/insulin‐like growth factor 2 receptor (M6P/IGF2r), a member of the IGF axis of growth factors, is a negative regulator of cell growth and a putative tumor suppressor gene. Regulation of M6P/IGF2r levels is critical in breast physiology; low expression is associated with various aspects of breast cancer. We have found that ionizing radiation induces the rapid expression of M6P/IGF2r in a dose‐dependent manner in MCF7 human breast cancer cells. We show that this increase is mediated, at least in part, by a stabilization of M6P/IGF2r transcripts by radiation in both ER positive (MCF7 and T47D) and ER negative (MDA‐MB‐231) breast cancer cell lines. It is probable, therefore, that posttranscriptional dysregulation of M6P/IGF2r is a contributing mechanism in breast cancer development and breast cancer response to therapy. This is a novel find that underscores the importance of posttranscriptional control of radiation‐induced gene expression—a phenomenon that has often been paradigmatically attributed to transcriptional control. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract The glycoprotein A33 (GPA33) is a colon cancer antigen. Phase I trials with ^131^I and ^125^I monoclonal antibody A33 in colon carcinoma patients showed excellent localization to colorectal cancer and some evidence of tumor response. Using DNA microarrays, we have identified the __GPA33
