| abstractText | Loss of Dmp1, an Arf transcriptional activator, leads to spontaneous tumorigenesis in mice, causing death from various forms of cancer by two years of age. Retention and expression of the wild-type Dmp1 allele in tumors arising in Dmp1(+/-) mice demonstrate that Dmp1 can be haplo-insufficient for tumor suppression. The mean latency of E(mu)-Myc-induced B-cell lymphomas is halved on a Dmp1(-/-) or Dmp1(+/-) genetic background. Although p53 mutations or Arf deletion normally occur in approximately 50% of E(mu)-Myc-induced lymphomas, Dmp1 loss obviates selection for such mutations, indicating that Dmp1 is a potent genetic modifier of the Arf-p53 pathway in vivo. |
