2) The two repeated experiments analyze the source of POSTN expression in the lung and whether it affects the number / size of primary and secondary tumor formation in
a spontaneous mouse model of breast cancer (MMTV - PyMT).
Deletion of the amino acid transporter Slc6a14 suppresses tumour growth in
spontaneous mouse models of breast cancer
Not exact matches
Therefore, we have explored the role
of the alpha2 beta1 integrin in
cancer initiation and progression using a clinically - relevant,
spontaneous mouse model, the MMTV - Neu
model of breast cancer progression and metastasis.
In the present study, we interrogated the role
of this transporter in
breast cancer by deleting Slc6a14 in
mice and monitoring the consequences
of this deletion in
models of spontaneous breast cancer (Polyoma middle T oncogene - transgenic
mouse and
mouse mammary tumour virus promoter - Neu - transgenic
mouse).
