| Research Abstract |
In this grant program, we attempted to elucidate the biological roles of p110α isoform of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase in squamous cell carcinogenesis. The transgenic mouse studies showed that the genetic defect of p110- gene cause embryonic lethality, which suggested that p110-may play important roles in the maintenance of keratinocyte stem cells. The further studies showed that the genetic defect of PTEN gene cause increased susceptibility to spontaneous and chemical carcinogenesis, which suggested that PTEN may play important roles in squamous cell carcinogenesis.
