Abstract excerpt
Two commonly occurring genetic aberrations of human prostate cancer [i.e., overexpression of a mitogenic polypeptide (fibroblast growth factor 8, isoform b or FGF8b) and loss of function of PTEN tumor suppressor] were recapitulated into a new combinatorial mouse model. This model harboring the Fgf8b transgene and haploinsufficiency in Pten, both in a prostate epithelium-specific manner, yielded prostatic...
