In agreement with this hypothesis, CRISPR-mediated deletion of SNORD50A and SNORD50B in KRAS-mutant tumor cells enhanced tumorigenesis, and SNORD50A and SNORD50B deletion and oncogenic KRAS mutation co-occurred significantly in multiple human tumor types.
The carcinogenesis of prostate cancer (PCa) in TRAMP model is highly correlated with hypermethylation in the promoter region of Nrf2 and the accompanying reduced transcription of Nrf2 and its regulated detoxifying genes.
Here we show decreasing the levels of CTR1 (Cu transporter 1), or mutations in MEK1 that disrupt Cu binding, decreased BRAF(V600E)-driven signalling and tumorigenesis in mice and human cell settings.
Furthermore, while inactivation of Arf appears to be crucial for MM pathogenesis, the inactivation of both p16(Ink4a) and p19(Arf) cooperate to accelerate asbestos-induced tumorigenesis.
In agreement with this hypothesis, CRISPR-mediated deletion of SNORD50A and SNORD50B in KRAS-mutant tumor cells enhanced tumorigenesis, and SNORD50A and SNORD50B deletion and oncogenic KRAS mutation co-occurred significantly in multiple human tumor types.

In melanoma, constitutive activation of the BRAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) and PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PI3K) signaling pathways plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation, survival and tumorigenesis.
These results suggest that (1) the K-ras and p53 gene alterations would have no special roles in terms of the lung carcinogenesis in young adults; (2) a positive relationship between smoking and p53 gene alteration would exist in young adults with lung cancer, and (3) K-ras gene alteration would become a prognostic factor in lung cancer.
According to the literature, our data provide evidence of the BRAF and RAS roles in thyroid tumorigenesis, supporting an association between BRAF (V600E) mutations and the more aggressive clinical and pathological features of thyroid tumors.
Highlighting the importance of this pathway as a determinant of susceptibility to carcinogenesis, multiple studies now demonstrate enhanced incidence, multiplicity, and/or tumor burden in Nrf2-disrupted mice compared to wild-type in models of inflammation and colon cancer, bladder cancer, lung disease and cancer, stomach cancer, mammary cancer, skin cancer, and hepatocarcinogenesis.
CPNE3, a member of a Ca<sup>2+</sup> -dependent phospholipid-binding protein family, was identified as a ligand of ERBB2 and has a more general role in carcinogenesis.
