A census of mitotic cancer genes: new insights into tumor cell biology and cancer therapy
Abstract
Tumor cell proliferation is frequently associated with genetic or epigenetic alterations in key regulators of the cell cycle. Most known oncogenes and tumor suppressors target entry into the cell cycle and control the G(1)/S transition. However, tumor-associated alterations in spindle formation or chromosome segregation are also frequent and may result in chromosomal instability. In fact, a few centrosomal or mitotic proteins such as aurora A, polo-like kinase 1 and PTTG1 (securin) have been reported to act as oncogenes. Some spindle checkpoint regulators such as the BUB kinases or MAD2 protect cells from aberrant chromosome segregation and may therefore function as suppressors of malignant transformation. However, few cancer-associated mutations in these or other mitotic regulators have been described thus far and many of these molecules do not fit into the classical definition of 'oncogenes' or 'tumor suppressor genes'. In some cases, both over-expression and decreased expression of these genes result in mitotic arrest. Moreover, some mitotic regulators such as MAD2 are either up- or down-regulated depending on the tumor types and, in both cases, these alterations result in chromosomal imbalances and tumor development. Minor changes in protein levels that do not compromise cell viability might therefore be sufficient to dysregulate the mitotic cycle and induce genomic instability. Despite the limited knowledge on the molecular basis of these processes, the clinical success of mitotic poisons such as taxanes reinforces the interest in these molecules, their involvement in human cancer and the therapeutic opportunities to modulate their function in cancer treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
