Novel cerebral lesions in the Eker rat model of tuberous sclerosis: cortical tuber and anaplastic ganglioglioma.

The Eker rat is a model for human tuberous sclerosis (TSC) caused by a mutation in the Tsc2 gene. We describe here histological and immunohistochemical findings of the brain lesions in Eker rats, with emphasis on 2 novel lesions found in this study: a cortical tuber and an anaplastic ganglioglioma. The rat cortical tuber resembled those of humans, and further confirmed the value of this animal model as a tool for investigating the molecular pathology of tuberous sclerosis. On the other hand, the rat anaplastic ganglioglioma had features of a malignant neoplasm that are absent from human subependymal giant cell astrocytomas.[1]
