Breast Cancer
Scientists at University of Hong Kong target breast cancer
September 4th, 2008
"hRad9 is a cell cycle checkpoint gene that is up-regulated in breast cancer. We have previously shown that the mRNA up-regulation correlated with tumor size and local recurrence," researchers in Hong Kong, People's Republic of China report. "Immunohistochemical studies were made to better define the role of hRad9 in breast carcinogenesis. Localisation of hRad9 protein were performed on paired tumor and normal breast tissues. Immunoblotting with and without dephosphorylation was used to define the protein isolated from breast cancer cells. Increased hRad9 protein was observed in breast cancer cells nucleus compared to non-tumor epithelium. This nuclear protein existed...
