Related Articles Functional inactivation of NF2/Merlin in human mesothelioma. Lung Cancer. 2008 Oct 3; Authors: Thurneysen C, Opitz I, Kurtz S, Weder W, Stahel RA, Felley-Bosco E The tumor suppressor Merlin is encoded by the neurofibromatosis type 2 gene (NF2) which is located on chromosome 22q12 and mutations in this gene have been found in 40% of mesothelioma. Mutations including deletions and insertions lead to truncated and inactivated Merlin. Experimental animal models indicate that disruption of the NF2 signalling pathway, together with a deficiency in ink4a, is essential for mesothelioma development. Our hypothesis was that in human mesothelioma without detectable NF2 mutations, regulators of NF2/Merlin activity such as CPI-17 would be altered. CPI-17 is an oncogene inhibiting the NF2/Merlin phosphatase which is necessary to maintain NF2/Merlin activity. Samples obtained from 44 mesothelioma, 3 asbestosis patients and 6 normal pleura from non-asbestos related disease patients were analyzed. Truncated NF2 transcripts or presence of isoform II only were observed in 11 mesothelioma samples. In all other mesothelioma samples only NF2 isoform I or isoforms I and II were detected. 18 mesothelioma and 1 normal pleura samples also expressed splicing variant delE2/3. Unexpected variants in addition to wild-type were identified in 24 mesothelioma samples. NF2 protein was either truncated or phosphorylated on Ser 518 in primary cultures de ...

Here, I address Mr. Jetton’s argument that “The private builder of a totally new road would face the obstacle of getting the right-of-way. That is a very slow process.” I argue the contrary. This is because we do not need to think of right-of-way as the right of a straight way. Rather, a private road owner [...] ...

When responding to my article, “How to Privatize the Roads: The Mechanisms and Benefits of Road Privatization,” Mr. Merlin Jetton rightly pointed out that not all Roman roads that were built lasted for 2000 years and that some of them were specifically designed to be temporary.
