Abstract excerpt
Phenobarbital (PB) is a model tumor promoter in the rodent liver. In the mouse, the promotional effect of PB results from a selective stimulation of clonal outgrowth of hepatocytes harboring activating mutations in the beta-catenin (catnb) gene. Glutamine synthetase (GS), a downstream target in the Wnt/beta-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF) signaling pathway, is strongly up-regulated in catnb-mutated mouse liver tumors...
