HMGA2 cooperates with either p27kip1 deficiency or Cdk4R24C mutation in pituitary tumorigenesis
21 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported a critical role of HMGA proteins in pituitary tumorigenesis since either the Hmga1 or Hmga2 gene overexpression/activation induces the development of mixed growth hormone/prolactin cell pituitary adenomas by activating the E2F transcription factor 1, and then enhancing the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. Consistently, amplification and overexpression of the HMGA2 gene was found in...
