February 2006 in “Cancer Research” The study investigated the role of Patched1 (Ptch1) in cell cycle progression and its function as a gatekeeper in preventing tumorigenesis, particularly in skin tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Researchers found that loss of Ptch1 in mouse models led to rapid skin tumor formation, increased nuclear accumulation of cyclin D1 and B1, and enhanced cell proliferation, indicating Ptch1's role as a tumor suppressor. The study highlighted that Ptch1 loss predisposed cells to a tumorigenic fate by facilitating cell cycle progression, rather than through Wnt signaling. The research suggested that targeting the Hedgehog pathway, which involves Ptch1, could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, as inhibiting this pathway induced tumor regression in Ptch1-deficient mice.
126 citations,
October 1998 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document discussed the hairless (hr) gene in laboratory rodents and humans, highlighting its role in skin physiology and hair follicle biology. Although hairless and rhino mouse mutants were extensively used to study skin-related topics, the primary cellular defect of hairlessness was often overlooked. The identification of the human homolog of the hr gene on Chromosome 8p12 linked it to a congenital hair disorder in humans, similar to hairless mice. Mutations in the hr gene in mice served as models for understanding its function and the pathophysiology of related human disorders. The document reviewed the structure, expression patterns, and mutations of the hr gene, as well as associated pathologies, reproductive and immunological defects, and susceptibility to dioxin toxicity. It speculated on the potential functions of the hr gene product in skin and hair follicle biology.
