Article Title: Targeted inhibition of the dual specificity phosphatases DUSP1 and DUSP6 suppress MPNST growth via JNK
doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-18-3224
Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of DUSP1 and DUSP6 in neurofibroma and MPNST. A, Gene expression microarray showing DUSP transcripts with increased expression in plexiform neurofibroma tumors and MPNST solid tumors versus normal human Schwann cells. The scale bar on right shows mean log2-transformed normalized fold change. B, Immunoblot shows elevated DUSP1, p-DUSP1 and DUSP6 protein in Dhh Cre; Nf1 fl/fl mouse neurofibroma versus normal age-matched wildtype sciatic nerve (WT nerve). C, Immunoblot shows elevated DUSP, p-DUSP1 and DUSP6 protein in NF1−/− iHSC and MPNST cell lines versus NF1 WT iHSC. β-actin was used as a loading control. D, Copy number alteration (CNA) data analysis of plexiform neurofibroma (pNF), NF1-associated MPNST and sporadic MPNST.
Article Snippet: CNA data on 51 primary MPNSTs (NF1-associated and sporadic) was from a published GSE3388 data set (Agilent Human Genome CGH Microarray kit (4×44K)) ( 25 ).
