Aggressive fibromatosis harbours mutations resulting in beta-catenin protein stabilization. Primary cell cultures demonstrate constitutive tcf activation in aggressive fibromatosis. Expression and co-immunoprecipitation studies suggest that beta-catenin binds and activates tcf-3 in this tumour. This is the first demonstration of tcf-3 activation by beta-catenin stabilization in a human neoplastic process.
侵袭性纤维瘤病存在导致β-连环蛋白稳定的突变。原代细胞培养显示侵袭性纤维瘤病中存在组成性的tcf激活。表达和免疫共沉淀研究表明,β-连环蛋白在该肿瘤中结合并激活tcf-3。这是在人类肿瘤形成过程中首次证明由β-连环蛋白稳定化激活tcf-3。
