The PTEN gene is also frequently deleted or mutated in a variety of sporadic human malignancies, such as glioblastoma and carcinomas of the prostate, endometrium and breast.
This includes multiple human tumor cell lines including glioblastoma, melanoma, ovarian carcinoma, prostatic carcinoma, and breast carcinomas).
Two different cell lines were studied: A549, derived from human lung adenocarcinoma, and U118, derived from human brain glioblastoma.
For example, mouse embryonal stem (ES) cells with homozygous deletion of the PTEN gene exhibit increased anchorage-independent growth as compared to normal ES cells [ 12 ] . Similarly, transfer of a wild type PTEN gene into anchorage-independent human glioblastoma cells (which lack functional PTEN), results in their greatly reduced ability to form colonies in soft agar [ 4 5 6 ] . The interpretation of these latter findings, however, is complicated by the strong anti-proliferative effects of PTEN even in monolayer culture, which is consistently observed when the wild type version of this gene is introduced into PTEN-negative tumor cells [ 4 6 7 8 9 10 18 33 ] . Moreover, in human glioma and breast cancer cell lines, the ectopic expression of wild type PTEN leads to anoikis, which is apoptosis initiated by the disruption of cell matrix-interactions [ 23 34 35 36 ] .
