Title:

Flcn-deficient renal cells are tumorigenic and sensitive to mTOR suppression

Excerpt:
...sirolimus could effectively inhibit Flcn-deficient allograft tumor growth, suggesting that mTOR inhibitors may be effective in treating FLCN-deficient RCC. Additionally, we demonstrated that a higher dose of sirolimus and earlier treatment delivered a better suppressive effect on tumor growth, showing a dose-dependent manner in tumor suppression.
