متن کاملSmad3 Mutant Mice Develop Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
TGFbeta-related growth factors have been implicated in a variety of developmental and physiological processes in organisms ranging from nematodes to mammals. TGFbeta transduces its signal to the interior of the cell via Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4. We report the cloning and targeted disruption of the mouse Smad3 gene. Smad3 mutant mice are viable and fertile. Between 4 and 6 months of age, the Smad...
متن کاملMice expressing activated PI3K rapidly develop advanced colon cancer.
Aberrations in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway play a key role in the pathogenesis of numerous cancers by altering cellular growth, metabolism, proliferation, and apoptosis. Mutations in the catalytic domain of PI3K that generate a dominantly active kinase are commonly found in human colorectal cancers and have been thought to drive tumor progression but not initiation. H...

Contact: [email protected] Fax: +81-78-306-3090 RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology When flies are low on sugar February 9, 2015– Sugars such as glucose circulating in the blood and stored in tissues are important sources of energy and carbon necessary for living organisms to maintain metabolic homeostasis. In many invertebrates, including insects, trehalose is the predominant sugar f...
متن کاملMice with spontaneous pancreatic cancer naturally develop MUC-1-specific CTLs that eradicate tumors when adoptively transferred.
Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive, treatment refractory cancer and is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. In humans, 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas overexpress altered forms of a tumor-specific Ag, mucin 1 (MUC1; an epithelial mucin glycoprotein), which is a potential target for immunotherapy. We have established a clinically relevant animal model for pancreatic ca...
