Abstract excerpt
Mutational alterations of PTEN and PIK3CA, which negatively and positively regulate PI3-kinase activity, respectively, have been observed in many types of human cancer. To explore the implication of PTEN and PIK3CA mutations in gastric tumorigenesis, we characterized the expression and mutation status of the genes in 126 gastric tissues and 15 cell lines. Expression of PTEN transcript was abnormally low in 5 of...
