The Crux of Tumorgenesis
The secret of cancer proliferation and persistence lays in phenomena at the membrane, where the NOTCH, Wnt and Hedgehog are located. These functions of the membrane start and drive the cancer with help from the ABCG2, MRp1, Pgp gene; it gives it resistance to powerful medications (Adriamycin, CPT11), with SuFu/PEX it reaches a gene capable of inducing malformation, with FOXM1, proliferation is guaranteed, through GLI1, Cyclin D2 is reached. Differentiation is reached though the MEK and failure of control is assured by dysregulation at the FAK. The Cancer's mind set is driven by the FOXM1 for sure. Other genes involve the NANOG, the PTCH1, The SOX and the OCT, CDH1, Shh,Twist, Plakoglobulin...
