Cooperativity of oncogenic K-ras and downregulated p16/INK4A in human pancreatic tumorigenesis.

Activation of K-ras and inactivation of p16 are the most frequently identified genetic alterations in human pancreatic epithelial adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Mouse models engineered with mutant K-ras and deleted p16 recapitulate key pathological features of PDAC. However, a human cell culture transformat...
