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.
