Gene context of Fibromatosis, Aggressive

  • These data show that APC truncating mutations give aggressive fibromatosis cells a proliferative advantage through beta-catenin and suggest that beta-catenin acts to transactivate transcription [25].
  • Breeding mice with Cox-2-/- mice resulted in no difference in number of aggressive fibromatoses formed, but in a smaller tumor size, while there was a decrease in number of GI lesions by 50% [26].
  • In addition, the desmoid tumor showed deregulation between PCNA and p21WAF1/CIP1 because the normal inverse relation between these two was not apparent [27].
  • Importantly, exogenous p16(INK4a) introduced by cotransfection is sufficient to reduce GR activity in FS cells, without affecting GR activity in p16-positive aggressive fibromatosis cells [28].
  • We found that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) was upregulated fourfold in aggressive fibromatosis [29].
  • Aggressive fibromatosis is characterized by WNT/oncogene pathway alterations triggering COX-2-mediated constitutive coactivation of PDGFRA and PDGFRB, and may therefore benefit from combined nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug + tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment [30].
