May 1999 in “Molecular Cell” The study explored the effects of activating the protooncogene c-Myc in the skin of transgenic mice, revealing that c-Myc activation led to rapid proliferation and disrupted differentiation of keratinocytes, resulting in conditions resembling precancerous lesions such as hyperplastic actinic keratosis. These changes were accompanied by angiogenesis and were reversible upon deactivation of c-Myc. Despite the potential for c-Myc to induce apoptosis, survival signals in the skin suppressed this effect, allowing for the development of benign, hyperproliferative lesions without progressing to malignancy. The study highlighted the role of c-Myc in skin homeostasis and its implications in skin carcinogenesis, suggesting that additional mutations would be necessary for malignant transformation.

August 2014 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” The study explored the impact of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) overexpression in hair follicle keratinocytes on stem cell behavior and tumorigenesis, particularly its interaction with Notch signaling. Using two mouse models, K6-ODC/SKH-1 and K14-ODC/SKH-1, it was found that ODC overexpression in K6-ODC/SKH-1 mice led to a significant increase in tumor development and invasiveness, with 15±2.5 tumors per mouse compared to 6.8±1.5 in K14-ODC/SKH-1 mice. This was linked to an expansion of the stem cell compartment and a down-regulation of Notch signaling, suggesting that ODC may enhance skin carcinogenesis by promoting stem-like cancer-initiating cells and contributing to invasive squamous cell carcinomas.
