Development of a bioengineered
model to quantitatively measure the
tumorigenic properties of cancer - associated fibroblasts in human prostate cancer.
In our laboratory, we have previously described an in vitro
model of spontaneous transformation of the IL -3-dependent hematopoietic BaF3 cell line towards growth factor - independent
tumorigenic clones with constitutive STAT5 activation.14 This
model was developed from the study of BaF3 cells transfected with an IL - 9Rα mutant lacking the STAT - recruiting site (BaF3 phe116).
Design and Methods Taking advantage of a
model of spontaneous cellular transformation, we sequenced JAK1 in selected
tumorigenic BaF3 clones and identified 25 de novo JAK1 activating mutations, including 5 mutations already described in human leukemias.
The transformation of BaF3 phe116 into autonomous
tumorigenic clones is a two - step
model of tumorigenesis.
