Popis: | Background Carcinogen-inflicted human cancers, including lung tumours harbour thousands of mutations per genome, most of which are unknown (Garraway, LA et al, Cell 2013;153:17–37). Aim To develop a faithful mouse model of human tobacco carcinogen-induced lung adenocarcinoma suitable for the identification of novel oncogenic genes and pathways. Methods We repeatedly managed to obtain several murine lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (MLA) by chronically exposing various mouse strains to different tobacco carcinogens. MLA were characterised for cancer stemness and oncogenes, as well as global gene expression. Results To date, 12 MLA cell lines have been derived from Wt and transgenic mice on the FVB, Balb/c, and C57BL/6 strains by means of urethane or diethylnitrosamine exposure. All MLA were immortal, phenotypically stable, and indefinitely passaged in vitro over a period of over 18 months and/or 60 passages. In addition, all cell lines were oncogenic, transplantable, metastatic, and uniformly lethal in vivo. Interestingly, MLA displayed Kras mutations in codon 61, mono- or bi-allelic Trp53 loss, and expression of lung cancer stemness factors Itgb3 and Lgr6, in amazing similarity to human lung cancers. Microarray revealed that all MLA cell lines heavily overexpressed Prl2c2, encoding proliferin, in comparison to the native lungs. Prl2c2 silencing diminished MLA proliferation and stemness, to a degree comparable with Itgb3 interference. Conclusions MLA are faithful models of human lung adenocarcinoma that led to the discovery of Prl2c2 as a candidate lung tumour promoter.
