摘要
Pier Paolo Pandolfi and colleagues report that prostate-specific overexpression of ERG in transgenic mice results in no overt phenotype on its own but promotes progression of intraepithelial neoplasia to adenocarcinoma in a PTEN heterozygous background. They also find that human TMPRSS2-ERG–positive tumors are enriched for PTEN loss, suggesting that these two events cooperate in human prostate tumorigenesis.
