Molecular markers of breast cancer progression in a MMTV-PyMT hyperplasia transplant mouse model of breast cancer

ABSTRACT: The primary cause of mortality in breast cancer is metastasis, a process which is still poorly understood. To study the process of breast cancer metastasis, we isolated focal hyperplasias from the MMTV-PyMT transgenic breast cancer model and transplanted to syngeneic hosts. The transplants underwent stereotyped progression to adenoma, early carcinoma, and late carcinoma at 5, 8 and 18 weeks post-transplant, respectively. We compared the gene expression profiles of adenomas and late carcinomas by microarray. Analysis of the data revealed that the most differentially expressed gene family between adenomas and late carcinomas were luminal differentiation genes, among them GATA-3. In this report, we characterized the role of GATA-3 in breast cancer. Keywords: spotted oligonucleotide Single hyperplasias were isolated from pubertal MMTV-PyMT x B-actin-GFP mice and transplanted into syngeneic hosts. Total RNA from adenomas (5 week outgrowths) were compared to late carcinomas (18 week outgrowths).

This study characterized cancer stem cells (CSCs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines, tumor specimens, and blood samples. The CD90+ cells, but not the CD90(-) cells, from HCC cell lines displayed tumorigenic capacity. All the tumor specimens and 91.6% of blood samples from liver cancer patients bore the CD45(-)CD90+ population, which could generate tumor nodules in immunodeficient mice. The CD90+CD44+ cells demonstrated a more aggressive phenotype than the CD90+CD44(-) counterpart and ...[more]

Project description:NOD mice (8- to 13-wk-old) were bred and maintained at the La Trobe University Central Animal House (Bundoora, Melbourne, Australia). All experiments were conducted in accordance with the Australian code of practice for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (National Health and Medical Research Council 1997), after approval by the La Trobe University Animal Ethics committee (Melbourne, Australia). A total of 124 female mice were divided into three groups. The immunized group comprised 91 mice injected s.c. into the lower flanks with 200 micrograms of MOG35-55 peptide (MEVGWYRSPFSRVVHLYRNGK; Auspep) emulsified in CFA containing 4 mg/ml Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Difco). An i.v. injection of 350 ng of Bordetella pertussis toxin was administered both immediately thereafter and 48 h later. The 26 mice in the control group were injected with adjuvant and pertussis toxin only. The seven animals used for the baseline group (time, day 0) were naive, not injected mice. Except for the seven naive animals from the baseline group, nine animals (seven from the EAE and two from the control group) were sacrificed (at the same time of the day) at each of 13 time points after immunization, which are detailed as days 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 postimmunization. Lymph nodes from the remaining four animals of the immunized and from the two control groups were dissected, immersed in RNAlater (Ambion), and frozen at 20C. Lymph nodes were removed from RNAlater and homogenized in TRIzol (Invitrogen Life Technologies) using an electric homogenizer. After resuspending the final RNA pellet in water, samples were repurified using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). cDNA was synthesized from 15 micrograms of total RNA using Superscript II RT (Invitrogen Life Technologies) and a modified dNTP mix containing dUTP. Samples were hydrolyzed by adding 10 microliters of 0.1 N NaOH, neutralized with 25 microliters of 1 M HEPES, and precipitated with 3 M sodium acetate and ethanol. Resuspension in 0.05 M sodium bicarbonate was followed by 1 h incubation with either N-hydroxysuccinimide ester Cy3 or Cy5 fluorescent dyes (Amersham Biosciences). Probes were quenched by the addition of 4 M hydroxylamine and neutralized with 100 mM sodium acetate. Final probe cleanup was conducted using the QIA Quick PCR purification kit (Qiagen). We followed a common reference design in which each Cy3-labeled lymph node probe was combined with a Cy5-labeled probe derived from a pool of RNA. Hybridization onto glass slides containing 18,240 spotted 60- to 70-mer oligonucleotides, followed by washing and scanning was performed at the Gladstone microarray core facility at the University of California (San Francisco, CA) Keywords: Time series NOD mice (8- to 13-wk-old) were injected s.c. into the lower flanks with 200 micrograms of MOG35–55 peptide (MEVGWYRSPFSRVVHLYRNGK; Auspep) emulsified in CFA containing 4 mg/ml Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Difco). An i.v. injection of 350 ng of Bordetella pertussis toxin was administered both immediately thereafter and 48 h later. The mice in the control group were injected with adjuvant and pertussis toxin only. Disease and control mice were sacrificed at 13 identical timepoints and microarrays were processed for each timepoint.
