CUI: C0026764
Disease: Multiple Myeloma
Multiple Myeloma
0.300 Biomarker disease BEFREE These results define the role of MAF and GSK3 in the resistance of t(14;16) MM to PIs and identifies a novel mechanism by which MAF protein levels are regulated by PIs, which in turn confers resistance to PIs. 27793878 2016
CUI: C0026764
Disease: Multiple Myeloma
Multiple Myeloma
0.300 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Importantly, silencing of KDM3A, KLF2 or IRF4 both decreases MM cell adhesion to bone marrow stromal cells and reduces MM cell homing to the bone marrow, in association with decreased ITGB7 expression in MAF-translocated MM cell lines. 26728187 2016

Disease: Multiple Myeloma
Multiple Myeloma
0.300 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Besides their established role in human cancer--overexpression of the large Maf genes promotes the development of multiple myeloma--they can display tumour suppressor-like activity in specific cellular contexts, which is compatible with their physiological role in terminal differentiation. 19143053 2008
