Six pathways known to be dysregulated in human MM were affected by missense mutations in the murine MM tumour cell lines: 5/15 samples harbored missense mutations in genes in the Wnt signaling pathway; 3/15 in the Hedgehog signaling pathway; 3/15 in the Notch signaling pathway; 2/15 in the mTOR signaling pathway and 2/15 in the p53 signaling pathway (Fig. 3). This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and neoplasm.
