Apoptosis Suppression by Somatic Cell Transfer of Bcl-2 Promotes Sonic Hedgehog–Dependent Medulloblastoma Formation in Mice
1 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Medulloblastomas are malignant brain tumors that arise in the cerebellum in children. Aberrant activation of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway, which normally stimulates proliferation of granule neuron precursors (GNP) during cerebellar development, induces tumors in mice that closely mimic human medulloblastomas. Shh-dependent medulloblastoma formation is enhanced by hyperactive insulin-like growth...
