Deleting <i>in vivo</i> β-catenin degradation domain in mouse hepatocytes drives hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatoblastoma-like tumors
2021-07-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and aims</h4> One-third of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) have mutations that activate the β-catenin pathway with mostly CTNNB1 mutations. Mouse models using Adenomatous polyposis coli ( Apc ) loss-of-functions (LOF) are widely used to mimic β-catenin-dependent tumorigenesis. Considering the low prevalence of APC mutations in human HCCs we aimed to generate hepatic tumors through CTNNB1 exon...
