The E2F1–3 transcription factors are essential for cellular proliferation

…, S Orkin, JR Nevins, ML Robinson, G Leone - Nature, 2001 - nature.com
The retinoblastoma tumour suppressor (Rb) pathway is believed to have a critical role in the
control of cellular proliferation by regulating E2F activities 1 , 2 . E2F1, E2F2 and E2F3 …

Emerging roles of E2Fs in cancer: an exit from cell cycle control

HZ Chen, SY Tsai, G Leone - Nature reviews cancer, 2009 - nature.com
Mutations of the retinoblastoma tumour suppressor gene (RB1) or components regulating
the RB pathway have been identified in almost every human malignancy. The E2F …

Distinct roles for E2F proteins in cell growth control and apoptosis

J DeGregori, G Leone, A Miron… - Proceedings of the …, 1997 - National Acad Sciences
E2F transcription activity is composed of a family of heterodimers encoded by distinct genes.
Through the overproduction of each of the five known E2F proteins in mammalian cells, we …

Role for E2F in control of both DNA replication and mitotic functions as revealed from DNA microarray analysis

…, E Huang, H Zuzan, R Spang, G Leone… - … and cellular biology, 2001 - Taylor & Francis
We have used high-density DNA microarrays to provide an analysis of gene regulation
during the mammalian cell cycle and the role of E2F in this process. Cell cycle analysis was …

Pten in stromal fibroblasts suppresses mammary epithelial tumours

…, F Pepin, M Hallett, M Park, MC Ostrowski, G Leone - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
The tumour stroma is believed to contribute to some of the most malignant characteristics of
epithelial tumours. However, signalling between stromal and tumour cells is complex and …

Myc and Ras collaborate in inducing accumulation of active cyclin E/Cdk2 and E2F

G Leone, J DeGregori, R Sears, L Jakoi, JR Nevins - Nature, 1997 - nature.com
Considerable evidence points to a role for Gl cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) in allowing the
accumulation of E2F transcription factor activity and induction of the S phase of the cell …

The broken cycle: E2F dysfunction in cancer

LN Kent, G Leone - Nature Reviews Cancer, 2019 - nature.com
The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)–RB–E2F axis forms the core transcriptional machinery
driving cell cycle progression, dictating the timing and fidelity of genome replication and …

[PDF][PDF] Ras enhances Myc protein stability

R Sears, G Leone, J DeGregori, JR Nevins - Molecular cell, 1999 - cell.com
Various experiments have demonstrated a collaborative action of Myc and Ras, both in normal
cell growth control as well as during oncogenesis. We now show that Ras enhances the …

Direct evidence for epithelial-mesenchymal transitions in breast cancer

…, ML Robinson, C Eng, MC Ostrowski, G Leone - Cancer research, 2008 - AACR
We developed stromal- and epithelial-specific cre-transgenic mice to directly visualize
epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during cancer progression in vivo. Using three different …

E2F3 activity is regulated during the cell cycle and is required for the induction of S phase

G Leone, J DeGregori, Z Yan, L Jakoi… - Genes & …, 1998 - genesdev.cshlp.org
Previous work has demonstrated the important role of E2F transcription activity in the induction
of S phase during the transition from quiescence to proliferation. In addition to the E2F-…
