Mutant IDH is sufficient to initiate enchondromatosis in mice.
Enchondromas are benign cartilage tumors and precursors to malignant chondrosarcomas. Somatic mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase genes (IDH1 and IDH2) are present in the majority of these tumor types. How these mutations cause enchondromas is unclear. Here, we identified the spectrum of IDH mutations in human enchondromas and chondrosarcomas and studied their effects in mice. A broad ran...
متن کاملAn activated mutant BRAF kinase domain is sufficient to induce pilocytic astrocytoma in mice.
Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common type of primary brain tumor in children and the second most frequent cancer in childhood. Children with incompletely resected PA represent a clinically challenging patient cohort for whom conventional adjuvant therapies are only moderately effective. This has produced high clinical demand for testing of new molecularly targeted treatments. However, ...
متن کاملNeuron specific reduction in CuZnSOD is not sufficient to initiate a full sarcopenia phenotype
Our previous studies showed that adult (8 month) mice lacking CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD, Sod1KO mice) have neuromuscular changes resulting in dramatic accelerated muscle atrophy and weakness that mimics age-related sarcopenia. We have further shown that loss of CuZnSOD targeted to skeletal muscle alone results in only mild weakness and no muscle atrophy. In this study, we targeted dele...
متن کاملEFF-1 Is Sufficient to Initiate and Execute Tissue-Specific Cell Fusion in C. elegans
Despite the identification of essential processes in which cell fusion plays spectacular roles such as in fertilization and development of muscle, bone, and placenta, there are no identified proteins that directly mediate developmental cell fusion reactions. C. elegans has recently become among the best-characterized models to use for studying developmental cell fusion. The eff-1 (epithelial fu...
متن کاملOne lyn molecule is sufficient to initiate phosphorylation of aggregated high-affinity IgE receptors.
In response to antigenic stimuli, the multisubunit immune recognition receptors become aggregated and then phosphorylated on their cytoplasmic tyrosines. For the clonotypic receptors of B and T cells and for Fc receptors such as the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcepsilonRI), a Src family kinase initiates this phosphorylation. We ask whether aggregation of the initiating kinase itself is requ...
