Nuclear adenomatous polyposis coli suppresses colitis-associated tumorigenesis in mice.
Mutation of tumor suppressor adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) initiates most colorectal cancers and chronic colitis increases risk. APC is a nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling protein, best known for antagonizing Wnt signaling by forming a cytoplasmic complex that marks β-catenin for degradation. Using our unique mouse model with compromised nuclear Apc import (Apc(mNLS)), we show that Apc(mNLS/mNLS)...
متن کاملInvolvement of adenomatous polyposis coli in colorectal tumorigenesis.
Colorectal cancer arises after a series of mutations in various tumor suppressor and proto-oncogenes, each of which is accompanied by specific alterations and pathological conditions. Recent advances have contributed a great deal of understanding of the molecular basis of events that lead to colorectal tumorigenesis. Mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is considered to be one ...

The other mode of treating these patients are subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis alongwith regular follow up with proctoscopy for development of cancer in retained rectal mucosa(3,7). Recently, Stevan et al. (8) utilized laproscope for total proctocolectomy as well as ileoanal anostomosis while others performed ileopouch anal anastomosis alongwith total proctocolectomy(9,10). Thus t...
متن کاملAdenomatous polyposis coli gene mutations in ulcerative colitis-associated dysplasias and cancers versus sporadic colon neoplasms.
Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutations occur in most sporadic colonic adenomas and carcinomas. Precursor lesions of ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colon carcinomas, although morphologically similar to sporadic adenomas, may be biologically distinct from them and are, in fact, managed differently. Since sporadic adenomas may also occur in UC, a method of discriminating between these...
متن کاملAdenomatous Polyposis Coli Mutation Leads to Myopia Development in Mice
Myopia incidence in China is rapidly becoming a very serious sight compromising problem in a large segment of the general population. Therefore, delineating the underlying mechanisms leading to myopia will markedly lessen the likelihood of other sight compromising complications. In this regard, there is some evidence that patients afflicted with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), havean aden...
