NF2/Merlin suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2020
Merlin ((Moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein, also known as schwannomin) is a tumor suppressor protein which is encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene, NF2.

Gene replacement therapy in a schwannoma mouse model of neurofibromatosis type 2

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2022
Loss of function of the neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor gene leads to the formation of schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas, comprising ∼50% of all sporadic cases of primary nervous system tumors.

First-principles calculations of the electronic structure of open-shell condensed matter systems

, 2012
We develop a Green's function approach to quasiparticle excitations of open-shell systems within the GW approximation. It is shown that accurate calculations of the characteristic multiplet structure require a precise knowledge of the self energy and, in

Inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 down-regulates yes-associated protein expression in mesothelioma cells. [PDF]

, 2020
Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) is a protein kinase that plays a major role in transcription initiation. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a main effector of the Hippo/YAP signalling pathway.

Pediatric spinal ependymomas: Long‐term surgical outcomes in a cohort of 61 cases

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Spinal ependymomas are rare in children, with limited long‐term outcome data. In this retrospective study of 61 pediatric patients undergoing surgical resection, gross total resection was achieved in 62.3% and was associated with favorable functional improvement. Recurrence was observed in 31.1% of cases.

Brigatinib causes tumor shrinkage in both NF2-deficient meningioma and schwannoma through inhibition of multiple tyrosine kinases but not ALK.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant genetic syndrome caused by mutations in the NF2 tumor suppressor gene resulting in multiple schwannomas and meningiomas.

Renal cell carcinoma with atypical omental metastasis: A case report and literature review

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults, with common metastatic sites including the lungs, bones, liver, and brain. Omental metastasis is exceedingly rare and usually occurs postoperatively. Fumarate hydratase‐deficient (FH‐deficient) RCC, a recently classified and highly aggressive subtype of ...

Subacute brainstem ischemic syndrome in juvenile neurofibromatosis type 2: An under‐recognized condition

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
We report the case of a teenager with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) presenting a locked‐in syndrome due to a brainstem ischemic syndrome. The presence of sudden or rapidly worsening onset of neurological deficits in NF2 patients should evoke this ...

Merlin Phosphorylation by p21-activated Kinase 2 and Effects of Phosphorylation on Merlin Localization [PDF]

, 2002
The Nf2 tumor suppressor gene product merlin is related to the membrane-cytoskeleton linker proteins of the band 4.1 superfamily, including ezrin, radixin, and moesin (ERMs). Merlin is regulated by phosphorylation in a Rac/cdc42-dependent fashion.
