Prep1 (pKnox1)‐deficiency leads to spontaneous tumor development in mice and accelerates EμMyc lymphomagenesis: A tumor suppressor role for Prep1
7 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
The Prep1 homeodomain transcription factor is essential for embryonic development. 25% of hypomorphic Prep1(i/i) embryos, expressing the gene at 2% of the normal levels, survive pregnancy and live a normal-length life. Later in life, however, these mice develop spontaneous pre-tumoral lesions or solid tumors (lymphomas and carcinomas). In addition, transplantation of E14.5 fetal liver (FL) Prep1(i/i) cells into...
