OBJECTIVE: PTEN haploinsufficiency plays an important role in prostate cancer development in men. However, monoallelic deletion of Pten gene failed to induce high prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) until Pten+/- mice aged or fed a high-calorie diet. Because CEACAM1, a cell adhesion molecule with a potential tumor suppression activity, is induced in Pten+/- prostates, the study aimed at examining whether the...
