Identification of <i>PDE4D</i> as a Proliferation Promoting Factor in Prostate Cancer Using a <i>Sleeping Beauty</i> Transposon-Based Somatic Mutagenesis Screen
28 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Retroviral and transposon-based mutagenesis screens in mice have been useful for identifying candidate cancer genes for some tumor types. However, many of the organs that exhibit the highest cancer rates in humans, including the prostate, have not previously been amenable to these approaches. This study shows for the first time that the Sleeping Beauty transposon system can be used to identify candidate prostate...
