A role for Pak protein kinases in Schwann cell transformation.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a common autosomal dominant disorder caused by loss of the NF1 gene, is characterized clinically by neurofibromas and more rarely by neurofibrosarcomas. Neurofibromin, the protein encoded by NF1, possesses an intrinsic GTPase accelerating activity for the Ras proto-oncogene. Through this activity, it is a negative regulator of Ras. The Pak protein kinase is a can...
متن کاملschwann cell apoptosis and p75ntr sirna
the p75 pan-neurotrophin receptor (p75ntr) plays a pivotal role in linking the immune system with the nervous system. p75ntr is required for the development of several characteristic features of allergic asthma. also p75ntr upregulated by reactive schwann cells after peripheral nerve injury. moreover p75ntr and rhoa play a critical role in the regulation of apoptosis. to determine whether the d...
متن کاملcompactifications and representations of transformation semigroups
this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
15 صفحه اولCanonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling drives human schwann cell transformation, progression, and tumor maintenance.
Genetic changes required for the formation and progression of human Schwann cell tumors remain elusive. Using a Sleeping Beauty forward genetic screen, we identified several genes involved in canonical Wnt signaling as potential drivers of benign neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). In human neurofibromas and MPNSTs, activation of Wnt signaling increased with tum...
