<i>Pten</i> Haploinsufficiency Accelerates Formation of High-Grade Astrocytomas
1 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that central nervous system (CNS) inactivation of Nf1 and p53 tumor suppressor genes in mice results in the development of low-grade to high-grade progressive astrocytomas. When the tumors achieve high grade, they are frequently accompanied by Akt activation, reminiscent of the frequent association of PTEN mutations in human high-grade glioma. In the present study, we introduced CNS...
