May 2005 in “Molecular Carcinogenesis” The study investigated the response of mitogen-regulated protein/proliferin (mrp/plf) mRNA to tumor promoters in murine skin. Researchers applied tumor promoters, such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO), to the skin of SENCAR mice and analyzed RNA samples from treated areas. They found that mrp/plf-mRNA was not detected in Northern blot hybridizations, but significant increases in mRNAs for genes like ornithine decarboxylase and junB were observed in response to TPA. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions revealed fully-processed MRP/plf-mRNA in most TPA-treated and some BPO-treated animals, with predominant expression of plf1 and mrp3. The study concluded that mrp/plf-mRNA was differentially expressed in response to tumor promoters and could serve as a biomarker for tumor-promoting effects in chemical carcinogenesis.
