Wide versus cell type restricted deletion of four tumor suppressor genes determines the type of high grade neuroendocrine lung cancer

ABSTRACT: Here we describe novel murine models of High Grade Neuroendocrine Lung Carcinomas driven by the loss of four tumor suppressors: deletion of Rb, PTEN, and p53, in a Rbl1 null background, in a wide variety of lung epithelial cells produces Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma whereas inactivation of these genes exclusively in basal cells leads to the development of Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, showing that Keratin K5 expressing cells contribute to the development/act as cell of origin of Small Cell Lung Carcinoma differentially influencing the lung cancer type developed. Conditional ablation of Rb1, Trp53 and Pten in pulmonary cells was achieved by intratracheal administration of purified Ad5-CMVcre or Ad5-K5cre (Du Page et al, 2009) to Rb1F/F;Trp53F/F;PtenF/F;Rbl1−/− 8–10 week old mice. Mice were sacrificed 3 to 5 months after the Ad5-cre infection and tumors processed for whole transcriptome analysis. As control animals, RbF/F;p53F/F;PtenF/F;Rbl1−/− littermates were used.

Project description:To model the effect of Pten loss on breast cancer, we deleted Pten using a floxed allele and the deleter lines MMTV-Cre(NLST), which targets stem/bi-potent progenitor cells, and WAP-Cre, which targets CD24-positive, pregnancy-identified stem cells/alveolar progenitors. Mammary tumors were detected in WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f females with a latency of 15.2 months. By 18 months, nearly all mice had succumbed to cancer. MMTV-Cre:Ptenf/f mice developed mammary tumors after a longer latency of 26.4 months and reduced penetrance (70%) compared to WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f mice. Tumors from both models were heterogeneous, consisting primarily of differentiated adenocarcinoma (adenomyoepithelioma; ~70%) and adenosquamous carcinoma (20-25%). In addition, a small fraction of tumors was classified as acinar and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (4-7%) and adenosarcoma (3-4%). To test the consequences of combined Pten and p53 gene mutation on breast cancer, we deleted both genes via MMTV-Cre or WAP-Cre. Kaplan-Meier tumor free survival curves revealed that WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f:p53f/f and MMTV-Cre:Ptenf/f:p53f/f females developed tumors with reduced latency of 11.3 and 9.8 months, compared with 15.2, 26.4, and 16.9 months for single-mutant WAP-Cre:Ptenf/f, MMTV-Cre:Ptenf/f or MMTV-Cre:p53f/f mice, respectively. In contrast to the heterogeneity of Pten tumors and small percentage of adenosarcomas in these mice, ~70% of Pten:p53 lesions were histologically classified as adeno-sacrcomatoid-like or mesenchymal-like breast cancer, with the rest exhibiting mixed mesenchymal plus adenocarcinomas and differentiated adenocarcinomas. The adeno-sacrcomatoid-like tumors expressed the mesenchymal markers vimentin, K5, SMA, N-cadherin and desmin but not ER, as well as islands of luminal-like K18 expressing cells surrounded by a layer of K14-positive cells. We used microarrays to detect differentially expressed genes in the Pten:p53 double-knock-out vs Pten or p53 single deletions Total RNA was extracted from tumors developed by double Trizol method and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.
