متن کاملErk activation as a possible mechanism of transformation of subependymal nodule into subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
INTRODUCTION Subependymal nodule (SEN) and subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) are brain lesions frequently found in tuberous sclerosis (TS). As about 10-15% of SENs enlarge and transform into SEGAs, we examined here the possible mechanism of the phenomenon. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using Western blot we studied 1 SEN and 3 SEGA samples; SEN and 1 SEGA came from the same TS patient. We eva...
