Abstract

Post-transplant smooth muscle tumors (PTSMTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms which occur after solid organ or haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. PTSMT typically consist of Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV)+ smooth muscle-like cells and show an intermediate malignancy. Their main occurrences are visceral organs, especially the liver, but intracranial appearances are described and associated with a poor prognosis. EBV drives the growth of PTSMT; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. Gene expression analysis of a set of morphologically similar tumors (leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, angioleiomyomas and endothelial haemangiomas) from patients without immunosuppression or EBV-association was performed. Our findings indicate that PTSMT's growth is driven by two factors of the wingless-type protein family: WNT6 and WNT10A. We are first to report that in PTSMTs, a non-canonical activation of WNT, independent of beta-catenin, drives tumor cell proliferation via MTOR/AKT1, MYC and Cyclin D2.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,520,426
of 23,088,369 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Sarcoma Research
#90
of 104 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#289,413
of 329,877 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Sarcoma Research
#3
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,088,369 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 104 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,877 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
