PTEN (Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog) is a crucial tumor suppressor gene that plays a significant role in regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival. It encodes a protein that functions as a phosphatase, which means it removes phosphate groups from specific molecules, thereby regulating various signaling pathways, particularly the PI3K/AKT pathway.
PTEN is mutated, deleted, or otherwise inactivated. This loss of function can lead to increased cell proliferation and survival, contributing to tumorigenesis. PTEN mutations are commonly found in various cancers, including:
Prostate cancer
Breast cancer
Endometrial cancer
Glioblastoma
BPH, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Click to Expand ⟱
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly occurs in older men.
- Increased DHT levels in prostatic tissue are associated with hyperplasia.
- An imbalance in IGF signaling might contribute to abnormal growth.
- Targeted therapies (such as 5α-reductase inhibitors and α-blockers).
