Abstract：
:Carcinogenesis is a multistep process, involving the irreversible conversion of a stem cell to a terminal-differentiation-resistant cell ("initiation"), followed by the clonal expansion of this cell ("promotion") and by the acquisition of other genetic alterations leading to malignancy ("progression"). The initiation and progression steps seem to be facilitated by mutagenesis. Promotion has been associated with agents and conditions that cause mitogenesis. Gap junctional intercellular communication, a fundamental biological process regulating cell growth and differentiation, has been postulated to play a major role in carcinogenesis. The hypothesis is supported by the fact that many cancer cells have some dysfunction in gap junctional intercellular communication, many tumor-promoting chemicals and several oncogenes (i.e., ras, src, mos, neu, but not myc) reduce gap junctional intercellular communication, and several growth factors (i.e., EGF, TGF-beta, bovine pituitary extract) inhibit gap junction function. This integrative concept postulates that chemical promoters, oncogenes coding for growth factors, receptors, or transmembrane signaling elements, and growth factors can isolate an initiated cell from the suppressing influence of surrounding normal cells by down-regulating the transfer of ions and small molecules through gap junctions.
