PTEN deficiency reprogrammes human neural stem cells towards a glioblastoma stem cell-like phenotype

Abstract PTEN is a tumour suppressor frequently mutated in many types of cancers. Here we show that targeted disruption of PTEN leads to neoplastic transformation of human neural stem cells (NSCs), but not mesenchymal stem cells. PTEN-deficient NSCs display neoplasm-associated metabolic and gene exp...
