PTEN regulates adipocyte progenitor growth, differentiation and replicative aging
2021-01-07
Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) negatively regulates the insulin signaling pathway. Germline PTEN pathogenic variants cause PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS), associated with lipoma development in children. It remains unclear which mechanisms trigger this aberrant adipose tissue growth. Adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) lose their capacity to differentiate into adipocytes during conti...
