Astroglial c-Myc Overexpression Predisposes Mice to Primary Malignant Gliomas
28 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Malignant astrocytomas are common human primary brain tumors that result from neoplastic transformation of astroglia or their progenitors. Here we show that deregulation of the c-Myc pathway in developing astroglia predisposes mice to malignant astrocytomas within 2-3 weeks of age. The genetically engineered murine (GEM) gliomas harbor a molecular signature resembling that of human primary glioblastoma...
