Advances in research on relation of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway to malignancy / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is an important mechanism regulating many processes of cellular biology,and also a potential target for abnormal regulation associated with malignancy. This pathway may up-regulate or down-regulate the expression of some tumor-inhibitory genes, transcriptional factors and cyclins,and alter the generation of MHC-I-restricting antigen peptides through the activity of specific proteasome, and consequently,participates in the genesis and progression of malignancy.
