Abstract A56: Tumor alarm gene FHIT activates tumor suppressive system by self-scarifying

Abstract: Human fragile histidine triad (FHIT) is known to be a putative tumor suppressor gene because of frequent deletion and mutation in various kinds of human cancers, in particular, human lung cancer. However, its biological function as tumor suppressor gene, has not been demonstrated. In fact, there are conflict results on the role of FHIT. Oncogenic property of FHIT has been proposed such as overeactivation of ATR/CHK1 pathway in FHIT deficient cells, and low tumor incidence in FHIT-deficient mice. In contrast, t… Show more
