mouse spontaneous mammary adenocarcinoma as a suitable model of breast cancer in iran
background : breast cancer is a complicated disease and has various clinical manifestations and prognosis. the aim of this study is to make a breast cancer model suitable for basic, preclinical and clinical studies. materials and methods: five virgin bulb/c mice aged 6 weeks and spontaneous murine mammary adenocarcinoma cells (mmac) were used. after anesthesia induction, 1-3 million of mmacs we...
متن کاملTumor formation in a mouse model of colitis-associated colon cancer does not require COX-1 or COX-2 expression.
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a key enzyme of prostanoid biosynthesis, plays an important role in both hereditary and spontaneous colon cancer. Individuals with ulcerative colitis are also at high risk for colorectal cancer. To investigate the role of Cox-2 in colitis-associated colon cancer, we subjected Cox-2 luciferase-knock-in mice and Cox-2-knockout mice to a well-known mouse model of colitis-...
متن کاملTumorigenic WAP-T Mouse Mammary Carcinoma Cells: A Model for a Self-Reproducing Homeostatic Cancer Cell System
BACKGROUND In analogy to normal stem cell differentiation, the current cancer stem cell (CSC) model presumes a hierarchical organization and an irreversible differentiation in tumor tissue. Accordingly, CSCs should comprise only a small subset of the tumor cells, which feeds tumor growth. However, some recent findings raised doubts on the general applicability of the CSC model and asked for its...
متن کاملLoss of PPARγ expression in mammary secretory epithelial cells creates a pro-breast tumorigenic environment
Breast cancer is the leading cause of new cancer diagnoses among women. Using peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ((+/-)) mice, we showed normal expression of PPARγ was critical to stop 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced breast tumorigenesis. PPARγ is expressed in many breast cell types including mammary secretory epithelial (MSE) cells. MSEs proliferate as required dur...
متن کاملPro‐tumorigenic role of ERα in prostate cancer cells
importance of estrogen actions in the etiology of prostate cancer (PC) has been widely accepted following the demonstration that androgens, in combination with estrogens, can induce neoplastic lesions in the prostate [1]. The tumor microenvironment is crucial in this process since tissue recombination assays showed that stromal ERα is required for neoplastic transformation. The apparent lack of...
