摘要: The large size of the pig and its similarity in anatomy, physiology, metabolism, genetics to humans make it an ideal platform develop a genetically defined, animal model cancer. To this end, we created transgenic “oncopig” line encoding Cre recombinase inducible porcine transgenes KRASG12D TP53R167H, which represent commonly mutated oncogene tumor suppressor human cancers, respectively. Treatment cells derived from these oncopigs with adenovirus (AdCre) led TP53R167H expression, rendered transformed culture tumorigenic when engrafted into immunocompromised mice. Finally, injection AdCre directly rapid reproducible development mesenchymal origin. Transgenic animals receiving AdGFP (green fluorescent protein) did not have any mass formation or altered histopathology. This oncopig could thus serve as malleable for potentially wide spectrum while controlling temporal spatial genesis, should prove invaluable studies previously hampered by lack
