B-Myb is a critical transcription factor in regulating cell cycle. Dysregulated expression of B-Myb promotes tumor formation and development. B-Myb is a proto-oncogene ubiquitously expressed in proliferating cells, which maintains normal cell cycle progression. It participates in cell apoptosis, tumorigenesis and aging. In addition, B-Myb is overexpressed in several malignant tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, and is associated with tumor development. B-Myb expression is also associated with the prognosis of patients with malignant tumors. Both microRNAs and E2F family of transcription factors (E2Fs) contribute to the function of B-Myb. The present review highlights the association between B-Myb and malignant tumors, and offers a theoretical reference for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors.
