Disease associated mutations at valine 804 in the RET receptor tyrosine kinase confer resistance to selective kinase inhibitors.

TL;DR: It is shown that most oncogenic MEN2-associated RET kinase mutants are highly susceptible to PP1, PP2 and ZD6474 inhibition, and valine 804 of RET is identified as a structural determinant mediating resistance to pyrazolopyrimidines and 4-anilinoquinazolines.
Journal Article

Development of thyroid papillary carcinomas secondary to tissue-specific expression of the RET/PTC1 oncogene in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: The generation of transgenic mice lines expressing the RET/PTC1 oncogene under the control of the thyroid-specific rat thyroglobulin promoter developed thyroid tumors displaying the histological aspect of papillary carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MSP Receptor Regulates α6β4 and α3β1 Integrins via 14-3-3 Proteins in Keratinocyte Migration

TL;DR: A mechanism based on MSP-Ron-dependent phosphorylation and 14-3-3 association is proposed, whereby the function of α6β4 switches from a mechanical adhesive device into a signaling component, and might be critically involved in human epidermal wound healing.
Journal Article

The expression of a truncated HMGI-C gene induces gigantism associated with lipomatosis.

TL;DR: Transgenic mice carrying a HMGI-C construct, containing only the three AT-hook domains, showed a giant phenotype, together with a predominantly abdominal/pelvic lipomatosis, suggesting a pivotal role of the HM GI-C truncation in the generation of human lipomas.
