How can you use “oncogenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

A number of studies have employed a variety of techniques to detect changes in gene expression associated with the oncogenic state and have reported selective elevation of specific RP transcripts in tumors.
These non-physiologic RSS are important because of their potential involvement in oncogenic chromosomal translocation and receptor editing, a process that alters the specificity of autoreactive receptors.
Since locally elevated TGF-β levels may select for TGF-β-resistant cells, and because TGF-βs can have oncogenic effects on the stroma, it may actually be important for the safety profile of chemopreventive agents to demonstrate that they do not increase TGF-β levels in the at-risk breast.
The CD98 molecule is also widely expressed on rapidly growing non-hematopoietic cells, where it may modulate oncogenic transformation [ 10 11 ] , metal ion transport [ 12 13 ] , cell fusion [ 14 15 ] , and amino acid transport [ 16 17 18 19 ] . CD98 is also expressed on normal proliferating tissue such as the basal layer of squamous epithelia [ 20 ] and on cells having secretion or transport functions [ 21 ] . Understanding of the role of CD98 in amino acid transport has been greatly enhanced with the recent cloning and characterization of multiple CD98 light chains.
This extraordinary plasticity has a price: V(D)J recombination can produce self-reactive receptors leading to autoimmune disease [ 38, 39] and may err to create oncogenic chromosomal translocations [ 40].
