E2F7 and E2F8 keep the E2F family in balance.

Published: January 2008

An article by Li and colleagues (in this issue of Developmental Cell) shows that the atypical E2Fs, E2F7 and E2F8, are critical for mouse development. One of the important functions of these family members stems from a negative feedback loop in which E2F7 and E2F8 limit the expression of E2F1 and prevent E2F1-dependent apoptosis.

Binucleated polyploid cells are common in many animal tissues, where they arise by endomitosis, a non-canonical cell cycle in which cells enter M phase but do not undergo cytokinesis. Different steps of cytokinesis have been shown to be inhibited during endomitosis M phase in rodents, but it is currently unknown how human cells undergo endomitosis. In this study, we use fetal-derived human hepatocyte organoids (Hep-Orgs) to investigate how human hepatocytes initiate and execute endomitosis.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most prevalent cancer worldwide. E2Fs are a group of transcription factors involved in the carcinogenesis and progression of various cancers. However, the exact roles of each member of E2F family in the development and progression of HNSCC are still unknown.

Background: Esophageal cancer (EC) is the eighth most commonly occurring cancer worldwide and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The therapeutic effect of EC patients is not ideal, and new biomarkers are needed to guide diagnosis and prognosis of EC patients. family transcription factors are among the most important links in the cell cycle regulatory network.
