Lung Cancer May Be Halted by Tumor Suppressor Protein

Scientists from Tulane University have unearthed an unknown molecular pathway that could be essential to halting lung cancer. In studies on mice, the team found that tumor suppressor protein RBM10 can inhibit lung cancer growth by reducing the function of c-Myc, a protein that promotes cancer cell growth. RBM10 works with two ribosomal proteins to destabilise c-Myc and prevent the growth of lung cancer. However, a mutant form promotes tumor growth. The researchers hope to develop an anti-cancer drug to target it.
