KRAS signaling in malignant pleural mesothelioma

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) arises from mesothelial cells lining the pleural cavity of asbestos‐exposed individuals and rapidly leads to death. MPM harbors loss‐of‐function mutations in BAP1 , NF2 , CDKN2A , and TP53 , but isolated deletion of these genes alone in mice does not cause MPM and mouse models of the disease are sparse. Here, we show that a proportion of human MPM harbor point...
