Abstract:E2F transcription factors control the expression of cell cycle genes. Cancers often demonstrate enhanced E2F target gene expression, which can be explained by increased percentages of replicating cells. However, we now demonstrate in human cancer biopsies that individual neoplastic cells display abnormally high levels of E2F-dependent transcription. To mimic this situation, we deleted the atypical E2F repressors (E2F7/8) in untransformed cells. Individual cells with elevated E2F-activity during S/G2-phase fail… Show more
