Functional identification of tumor-suppressor genes through an in vivo RNA interference screen in a mouse lymphoma model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) capable of stably suppressing gene function by RNA interference (RNAi) can mimic tumor-suppressor-gene loss in mice. By selecting for shRNAs capable of accelerating lymphomagenesis in a well-characterized mouse lymphoma model, we identified over ten candidate tumor suppressors, including Sfrp1, Numb, Mek1, and Angiopoietin 2. Several components of the DNA damage response machinery were also identified, including Rad17, which acts as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor that responds to oncogenic stress and whose loss is associated with poor prognosis in human patients. Our results emphasize the utility of in vivo RNAi screens, identify and validate a diverse set of tumor suppressors, and have therapeutic implications.

Cancers are highly heterogeneous and contain many passenger and driver mutations. To functionally identify tumor suppressor genes relevant to human cancer, we compiled pools of short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting the mouse orthologs of genes recurrently deleted in a series of human hepatocellular carcinomas and tested their ability to promote tumorigenesis in a mosaic mouse model. In contrast...
متن کاملNew developments in the pathology of malignant lymphoma: a review of the literature published from August to November 2009
The pathogenesis of malignant lymphomas remains poorly understood. Several approaches to detect the genes involved are available. Bric et al. [1] focus on the detection of tumor suppressor genes by using RNA interference of specific gene products in a known mouse model for lymphoma development. They detected more than 10 new candidate tumor suppressor genes, showing the validity of their functi...

Tumor suppressor p53 plays an important role in regulating cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Here we applied RNA interference to study the role of p53 in human hematopoietic development in vivo. An siRNA construct specifically targeting the human tumor-suppressor gene p53 was introduced into human CD34 progenitor cells by lentivirus-mediated gene transfer, which resulted in more than 95% kn...
