This paper examines whether the nuclear E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 and/or the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK4 produce well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS)/dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) using transformed human bone marrow stem cells through in vitro and in vivo functional experiments. The authors found that co-overexpression of MDM2 and CDK4 causes high-grade sarcoma with a dedifferentiated liposarcoma-like morphology.
