  • Title: [C-myc activation by translocation in human primary non-small cell lung cancer].
    Author: Lu Y, Cheng S, Guo S.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi; 1996 Apr; 76(4):275-7. PubMed ID: 8758273.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is one of the most common human neoplasms. The carcinogenesis and development of lung cancer are related to activation and inactivation of many oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. We reported c-myc activation by translocation in SV40T-transformed human bronchial epithelial cells and lung cancer cell line before. In order to confirm that c-myc translocation exists in human primary non-small cell lung cancer, we continued our studies in 12 primary human lung cancers. METHODS: We applied major fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in combination with immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: c-myc translocation was detected in two cases of the 12 primary lung cancers. Overexpression of c-myc was detected in the two cases by means of immunohistochemistry. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that c-myc can be activated by translocation in human primary lung cancer.
