Project description:Comparison the gene expression profiles of mouse mammary tumors derived from MMTV-PyMT transgenic in five different strains including FVB/NJ, I/LnJ F1, NZB/B1NJ F1, MOLF/Ei F1 and LP/J F1 and identification of signatures of tumor virulence. **NOTE: Migrated from caArray 1.x, identifier='gov.nih.nci.ncicb.caarray:Experiment:1015897560599049:1'
Project description:Mouse genetic crosses were established between the PyMT model of metastatic breast cancer and MOLF/Ei strain. Tumors were harvested from the animals for gene expression analysis to identify genes associated with progression to distant metastatic disease. Gene expression of 134 samples from the MOLF cross were assayed on Affymetrix chips.

Project description:The aim of this investigation was to study the consequences of interfering with soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression on tumor growth and metastasis in genetically modified animals that spontaneously generate tumors without the exogenous application of high concentrations of epoxide mediators or inhibitors. Therefore, breast cancer development was studied in mice expressing the polyoma middle T oncogene (PyMT) under the control of the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter, to induce spontaneous mammary tumors. To facilitate the study of endogenous sEH activity in tumor growth, PyMT mice were then crossed with sEH-/- mice to generate sEH-deficient mice that spontaneously generate breast tumors (so called PyMTsEH mice). For these analyses, primary tumors were removed from 20 week old mice.
