ROS Fusion Tyrosine Kinase Activates a SH2 Domain–Containing Phosphatase-2/Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Signaling Axis to Form Glioblastoma in Mice

Abstract excerpt

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and lethal form of primary brain cancer. Diagnosis of this advanced glioma has a poor prognosis due to the ineffectiveness of current therapies. Aberrant expression of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) in glioblastoma multiformes is suggestive of their role in initiation and maintenance of these tumors of the central nervous system. In fact, ectopic expression of the...
