ACGH analysis of liver tumors generated in C57BL/6J mice with a liver specific loss of Trp53-/- [Agilent-027411]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background and aims: P53 limits the self-renewal of stem cells from various tissue. A Loss of p53 in combination with other oncogenic events results in aberrant self-renewal and transformation of progenitor cells. Here, we investigated whether a loss of p53 as a single genetic lesion is sufficient to induce liver tumor formation. Methods: AlfpCre mice were crossed with Trp53 conditional knockout mice to achieve a liver-specific loss of Trp53. Results: The liver-specific loss of Trp53 results in liver tumor formation. A high percentage of the tumors showed a mixed differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Conclusion: The liver-specific deletion of Trp53 is sufficient to induce liver tumor formation.
