Evidence for L1-associated DNA rearrangements and negligible L1 retrotransposition in glioblastoma multiforme. In: Mob. DNA, vol. 7, no. 1, pp. 21, 2016.
Abstract
LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposons are a notable endogenous source of
mutagenesis in mammals. Notably, cancer cells can support unusual
L1 retrotransposition and L1-associated sequence rearrangement
mechanisms following DNA damage. Recent reports suggest that L1
is mobile in epithelial tumours and neural cells but,
paradoxically, not in brain cancers.
