Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) gene involvement in sporadic tumours.
In tuberous sclerosis patients, inactivation of the tuberous sclerosis complex tumour-suppressor genes TSC1 and TSC2 contributes to the development of a wide range of hamartomatous lesions. These patients do not, however, show an increased risk of the common adult solid cancers. Recent evidence that the TSC genes play a role in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway, a pathway whose dysregulatio...
متن کاملThe tuberous sclerosis complex.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes and is associated with hamartoma formation in multiple organ systems. The neurological manifestations of TSC are particularly challenging and include infantile spasms, intractable epilepsy, cognitive disabilities, and autism. Progress over the past 15 years has demonstrated t...
متن کاملTuberous sclerosis complex.
Contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed a large well-circumscribed heterogenous retroperitoneal mass measuring 25 × 20 cm arising from the left kidney with predominant fat attenuation. Multiple smaller lesions were seen in the opposite kidney. Features were suggestive of diffuse angiomyolipomatosis of the kidneys. Hypodense lesions were also seen involving the lungslymphangioleiomyomatos...
متن کاملTherapeutic Trial of Metformin and Bortezomib in a Mouse Model of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a human genetic disorder in which loss of either TSC1 or TSC2 leads to development of hamartoma lesions, which can progress and be life-threatening or fatal. The TSC1/TSC2 protein complex regulates the state of activation of mTORC1. Tsc2(+/-) mice develop renal cystadenoma lesions which grow progressively. Both bortezomib and metformin have been proposed as p...
متن کاملRegulation of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) function by 14-3-3 proteins.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder characterized by seizures, mental disability, renal dysfunction and dermatological abnormalities. The disease is caused by inactivation of either hamartin or tuberin, the products of the TSC1 and TSC2 tumour-suppressor genes. Hamartin and tuberin form a complex and antagonise phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/target of rapamycin si...
