Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
research The Malignant Capacity of Skin Tumors Induced by Expression of a Mutant H-Ras Transgene Depends on the Cell Type Targeted
The study investigated the carcinogenic effects of expressing a mutant H-ras oncogene in different epidermal cell populations of mice. It found that targeting the expression to follicular and interfollicular cells using a truncated keratin 5 gene promoter led to the development of acanthotic areas and carcinoma in situ in newborn mice, and papillomas and keratoacanthomas in adults. These benign tumors frequently progressed to malignancy, unlike those induced by other promoters, and did not require wounding or a tumor promoter for formation. The research concluded that the cell type in which tumor initiation occurs, particularly within the hair follicle, significantly influenced the malignant potential of the tumors.
