Abstract Text
DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract): These data support the
working hypothesis that ICER functions as an antioncogene in mammalian
cells, since its expression decelerates the uncontrollable cell growth which
is characteristic of malignant cells. To test this hypothesis, the
following specific aims are proposed: 1) to further characterize the role
of ICERIIgamma in the AtT20 cell cycle, 2) to determine the role of
ICERIIgamma in cell growth, proliferation and the process of oncogenesis,
and 3) to determine whether ICERIIgamma activity is regulated by
phosphorylation. These aims will be achieved by assessment of the effects
of overexpression of ICERIIgamma in specific mammalian cell systems.
Completion of these aims will allow a more comprehensive understanding of
the role played by the cAMP pathway and the CREM gene in cell growth,
differentiation and tumorigenesis. These results will therefore have a
significant impact upon understanding of proliferation of normal and
neoplastic cells.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
