Abstract

The retinoblastoma protein (pRb105) is a true tumor suppressor as deregulation of the Rb pathway by either mutation of pRb105 itself or other proteins in the pathway, such as p16INK4a, occur in most cancers. This prototypical family member, along with the related p107 and p130, are involved in the control of cell cycle regulation, but pRb105 has also been shown to be involved in tissue development and differentiation. This prospective will discuss the increasing evidence for a role of pRb105 in cellular differentiation and the fact that various cancers, which contain mutant pRb105, or mutations in proteins in the pRb105 pathway, are perhaps a result of deregulation of differentiation.

## BACKGROUND. Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the lung represent a wide spectrum of phenotypically and biologically distinct entities. Their histopathologic diagnosis, which carries therapeutic and prognostic significance, may sometimes be difficult because of their overlapping features. We previously

## Abstract We describe a mechanism for reversible regulation of gene transcription, mediated by a family of tumor‐suppressor proteins (TSP) containing a DNA‐binding domain (DBD) that binds to a gene and represses transcription, and RNA‐binding domains (RBDs) that bind RNA, usually a noncoding RNA
