Yun Hee Kang et al. found that mitomycin c can inhibit cervical cancer cell growth by downregulating repair genes such as Brca1 and its binding proteins or associated proteins such as Ku70 binding protein (KUB3) and Brca1-associated protein (Brca1AP) (Kang et al., 2010). The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is cervical cancer.
