A genetic mouse model with postnatal <i>Nf1</i> and <i>p53</i> loss recapitulates the histology and transcriptome of human malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor
2021-05-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are aggressive sarcomas. Somatic inactivation of NF1 and cooperating tumor suppressors, including CDKN2A/B , PRC2, and p53, is found in most MPNST. Inactivation of the LATS1/2 kinases of the Hippo pathway was recently shown to cause tumors resembling MPNST histologically, although Hippo pathway mutations are rarely found in MPNST. Because exis...
