Oncogenic G Protein GNAQ Induces Uveal Melanoma and Intravasation in Mice
26 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
GNAQ and GNA11 are heterotrimeric G protein alpha subunits, which are mutated in a mutually exclusive pattern in most cases of uveal melanoma, one of the most aggressive cancers. Here we introduce the first transgenic mouse model of uveal melanoma, which develops cancers induced by expression of oncogenic GNAQ(Q209L) under control of the Rosa26 promoter. Disease penetrance is 100% by 3 months of age, with 94% of...
