Large-Scale Molecular Comparison of Human Schwann Cells to Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Cell Lines and Tissues
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are highly invasive soft tissue sarcomas that arise within the peripheral nerve and frequently metastasize. To identify molecular events contributing to malignant transformation in peripheral nerve, we compared eight cell lines derived from MPNSTs and seven normal human Schwann cell samples. We found that MPNST lines are heterogeneous in their in vitro growth rates...
