Targeting PyMT oncogene to diverse mammary cell populations enhances tumor heterogeneity and generates rare breast cancer subtypes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We are generating a new mouse model for breast cancer heterogenaity using lentiviral infection to integrate the sporatically transforming EF1α-PyMT10C or Muc-PyMT10C lentivirus into mouse mammary epithelial cell genomes. We then transplant those cells into cleared mammary fat pads of recipient mice, allowing tumors to develop from luminal , myoepithelial, stem and progenitor cell lineages. We developed a wide variety of tumors including rare histologies such as squamous, tubular, spindloid and lipid rich. We used microarray analysis to compare our mouse model with a microarray analysis of 9 established mouse models (Herschkowitz, J.I. et al. Genome Biology, 2007). Heirarchal clustering was used to establish the molecular subtype of tumors developed through the lentiviral-PyMT mouse model. In addition, micrarray analysis was used in conjunction with GeneSifter and GO ontology to identify unique pathways for each of the rare tumor types.
