"For instance, while loss of Bap1 activates intrinsic apoptosis in several mouse cell types (hepatocytes, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and embryonic stem cells) in an RNF2 dependent fashion, the Bap1 loss enhances proliferation of melanocytes in association with upregulation of lineage specific oncogenes MITF and BCL2, independently of RNF2."

"Since both BAP1 and PTEN inhibit apoptosis in a similar way, increasing the likelihood for pre-malignant cells to survive, it is tempting to speculate that also PTEN mutations may contribute to mesothelioma development in carriers of PTEN mutations, as demonstrated in animal models carrying germline BAP1 mutations with even minimal exposure to asbestos [30]."
