Interest in the role of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis in growth control and carcinogenesis has recently been increased by the finding of elevated serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels in association with three of the most prevalent cancers in the United States: prostate cance

โฆ Synopsis
In this review, the complex relationship between tissue-specific transcription factors and genes regulating cell cycle is taken into account. Both E1-A binding proteins belonging to the family of the retinoblastoma gene product and the CBP/p300 coactivator of transcription interact physically and functionally with tissue-specific transcription factor. The relationship between these two classes of molecules regulates cell fate in differentiating cells, deciding whether cells continue to replicate, undergo apoptosis or terminally differentiate. We provide here an update on the recent advances in this field and some models of interaction between E1A binding protein and tissue-specific transcription factors.

The conserved region 1 and the extreme N-terminus of adenoviral oncoprotein E1A are essential for transforming activity. They also play roles in the interaction of E1A with p300/CBP and pRb and are involved in both transactivation and repression of host gene expression. It was reported recently that
We have previously shown that the insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) stimulate both proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells in culture, and that these actions in L6A1 muscle cells may be modulated by three secreted IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), IGFBP-4, -5, and -6. Since we found
