May 2000 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” This study demonstrated that the highly divergent WDSV rv-cyclin significantly stimulates eukaryotic cell proliferation, leading to hyperplastic skin lesions in transgenic mice.

August 2022 in “Viruses” This study found that cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in mice infected with murine papillomavirus preferentially arise from Lgr5+ progenitor cells, while squamous cell dysplasia does not.

February 2007 in “Molecular Carcinogenesis” This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human ATF3 showed hyperplastic and dysplastic changes in epithelial tissues, with a high incidence of oral cancer, suggesting potential oncogenic properties of ATF3.
In this study with mice, simultaneous inactivation of Smad4 and PTEN genes led to rapid development of invasive forestomach squamous cell carcinomas, mirroring human esophageal SCCs.
In this study, the deletion of Smad4 and PTEN genes in mice was associated with rapid and invasive squamous cell carcinoma formation in the forestomach, modeling human esophageal cancer progression.
