Establishment of stable expression of firefly luciferase and EGFP in a canine inflammatory mammary carcinoma cell line and tumor-bearing model in nude mice.

ABSTRACT: Canine inflammatory mammary carcinoma (CIMC) is a type of canine malignant mammary tumor with a poor prognosis and high mortality. We transduced firefly luciferase and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into CHMp, a CIMC cell line, and established CHMp-Luc-EGFP cells. We investigated the characteristics of this cell line in vitro and in vivo. CHMp-Luc-EGFP was passaged continuously 75 times, with stable expression of luciferase and EGFP. Compared with the wild-type, CHMp-Luc-EGFP had similar proliferation, metastasis, histopathology characteristics, and expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Ki-67. A tumor-bearing model was established by implantation of CHMp-Luc-EGFP cells, and the dynamic changes of tumors were visualized and quantified using the IVIS imaging system. In summary, the cell line we established could reflect the biological characteristics of CHMp cells, visualize the tumor progression in vivo, and provide a powerful tool for the study of CIMC.

Project description:BackgroundCanine mammary tumors (CMTs) have a poor prognosis, along with tumor recurrence and metastasis. Cell lines are vital in vitro models for CMT research. Many CMT epithelial cell lines were reported. However, canine mammary myoepithelial cells, the contractile component of the canine mammary tissue were overlooked. This study aimed at establishing such a cell line. CMT-1 cell line was obtained from a canine mammary tumor CMT-1 and characterized molecularly through qPCR, western blotting, immunochemistry and immunofluorescence. Its doubling time, cytogenetic analysis and migration rate were evaluated using growth study, karyotype analysis and wound healing assay respectively. To determine its tumorigenesis, xenograft transplantation was performed.ResultsCMT-1 tumor was a complex canine mammary carcinoma that stained negative to estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR), but positive to human epidermal growth receptor-2 (HER2), defined as HER2-enriched subtype. In this study, a CMT-1 cell line obtained from CMT-1 tumor was immune-positive to vimentin, α-SMA, p63 and negative to E-cadherin (E-cad), indicating CMT-1 cells were myoepithelial cells. It was successfully cultured for more than 50 passages showing the same immunoreactivity to ER, PR, and HER2 as the primary canine tumor. The doubling time of CMT-1 cell line was 26.67 h. The chromosome number of CMT-1 cells ranged from 31 to 64. A potential spontaneous epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) was noticed during cell cultures. Potential EMT-induced CMT-1 cells showed no significance in migration rate compared to the original CMT-1 cells. CMT-1 cells was able to grow on a 3D culture and formed grape-like, solid, and cystic mammospheres at different time period. Inoculation of CMT-1 cells induced a complex HER2-enriched mammary tumor with metastasis in mice.ConclusionsA canine cancerous HER2-enriched myoepithelial cell line was successfully established and a canine mammosphere developed from myoepithelial cells was documented in this study. We are expecting this novel cell line and its associated mammospheres could be used as a model to elucidate the role of myoepithelial cells in CMT carcinogensis in the future.

Project description:Background and purposeCanine mammary tumors are the most common tumor disease of female dogs, and adjuvant chemotherapy often results in multi-drug resistance. Currently, the mechanisms underlying the development of tumor multi-drug resistance are unclear. The translation of research applications that can be used to effectively overcome tumor resistance is similarly hampered. Therefore, it is urgent to construct multi-drug resistance models of canine mammary tumors that can be used for research, to explore the mechanisms and means of overcoming resistance.Materials and methodsIn this study, the canine triple negative breast cancer cell line CMT-7364 was induced to develop multidrug resistance using doxorubicin by high-dose drug pulse method. The drug resistance and the expression of drug transport pumps of the cells was verified by CCK8 assay, immunoblotting, qPCR and immunofluorescence. Next, we used scratch assay and Transwell invasion assay to compare the migration and invasion abilities of the two cell lines and examined the expression of EMT-related proteins in both using immunoblotting. The differences of transcriptome between parental and drug-resistant cell lines were detected by RNA-seq sequencing. Finally, mouse xenograft models of drug-resistant and parental cell lines were constructed to evaluate the tumorigenic ability.ResultsAfter more than 50 generations of continuous passages stimulated by high-dose drug pulse method, the morphology of drug-resistant cell line CMT-7364/R tended to be mesenchymal-like and heterogeneous under light microscopy compared with the parental cell line CMT-7364/S, and developed resistance to doxorubicin and other commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs. In CMT-7364/R, BCRP was expressed at higher levels at both transcriptional and protein levels, while P-glycoprotein was not significantly different. Secondly, the migration and invasion ability of CMT-7364/R was significantly enhanced, with decreased expression of E-cadherin and increased expression of vimentin and mucin 1-N terminus. Finally, mouse xenograft models were constructed, while there was no significant difference in the volume of masses formed at 21 days.ConclusionIn summary, by using the canine mammary tumor cell line CMT-7364/S as the parental cell line, we successfully constructed a multidrug-resistant CMT-7364/R with high-dose drug pulse methods. Compared to its parental cell line, CMT-7364/R has decreased growth rate, overexpression of BCRP and increased migration and invasion ability due to EMT. The results of this study showed that CMT-7364/R might serve as a model for future studies on tumor drug resistance.
