摘要: 目的: 建立两种ErbB2/Neu阳性-PTEN缺失的乳腺癌基因工程小鼠模型并比较其生物学特征。 方法:利用先前建立的由鼠乳腺肿瘤病毒(MMTV) 启动子同时驱动活化型ErbB2/Neu基因和重组酶Cre表达的FVB/N-MMTV-NIC小鼠与Flox-PTEN小鼠交配;或将由内源性启动子驱动活化型ErbB2/Neu基因表达的FVB/N-ErbB2KI、FVB/N-MMTV-Cre及Flox-PTEN三种基因工程小鼠交配; PCR分别扩增Neu、Cre和PTEN基因,对其子代小鼠进行基因型鉴定;免疫组织化学法检测乳腺组织ErbB2/Neu和PTEN蛋白表达。对两种模型的成瘤时间、肿瘤数目、肺转移等生物学特征进行比较,观察肿瘤组织病理学形态,免疫组织化学法检测肿瘤细胞Ki-67表达,TUNEL法检测肿瘤细胞凋亡水平。 结果:经基因型鉴定和组织蛋白表达分析,获得了两种ErbB2/Neu阳性-PTEN纯合型缺失的乳腺癌基因工程小鼠模型:一是由MMTV外源性启动子同时驱动活化型ErbB2/Neu和Cre表达,抑癌基因PTEN条件性敲除的NIC/PTEN-/-模型;二是由MMTV-Cre使内源性启动子驱动ErbB2/Neu基因表达,PTEN条件性敲除的ErbB2KI/PTEN-/-模型。NIC/PTEN-/-模型的平均成瘤时间低于ErbB2KI/PTEN-/-模型(30 d与368 d,P<0.01);肿瘤数目、肺转移率均高于ErbB2KI/PTEN-/-模型(分别为10个与1~2个,75.0%与37.5%,均P<0.01);两种模型肿瘤呈现不同的组织病理形态,肿瘤细胞凋亡水平相当(P>0.05);NIC/PTEN-/-模型Ki-67阳性细胞百分率高于ErbB2KI/PTEN-/-模型(86.9%±2.8%与37.4%±7.2%,P<0.01)。 结论:两种不同表型的ErbB2/Neu阳性-PTEN缺失的乳腺癌基因工程小鼠为探索ErbB2/HER2阳性乳腺癌的发生、发展规律及更有效的防治方案提供了理想的动物模型。
Abstract:Objective: To generate two genetically engineered mouse models of ErbB2/Neu positive-PTEN deficient breast cancer and to compare their biological properties. Methods: The genetically engineered mice previously developed with mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter driven expression of activated ErbB2/Neu and recombinant Cre (FVB/N-MMTV-NIC)were interbred with Flox-PTEN mice; and FVB/N-ErbB2KI mice, harboring endogenous promoter driven activated ErbB2/Neu expression, FVB/N-MMTV-Cre mice and the flox-PTEN mice were interbred. Neu, Cre and PTEN genes were amplified by PCR for genotyping of the offsprings. ErbB2/Neu and PTEN expression in mammary tumors were detected by immunohistochemistry. Tumor formation time, tumor number, histopathology and lung metastasis were compared between two models, Ki-67 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL staining of tumor tissues was performed. Results: Two genetically engineered mouse models of ErbB2/Neu positive-PTEN homozygous deficient breast cancer were generated. The models were confirmed by genotyping and immunohistochemistry. One model with exogenous MMTV promoter driven expression of activated ErbB2/Neu and Cre coupling PTEN disruption was designated as NIC/PTEN-/- mice, and the other with MMTV-Cre induced endogenous promoter driven expression of activated ErbB2/Neu with PTEN disruption was designated as ErbB2KI/PTEN-/- mice. The tumor formation time in NIC/PTEN-/- mice was significantly shorter than that of ErbB2KI/PTEN-/- mice (30 vs 368 d,P<0.01); the number of tumor and incidence of lung metastasis was also significantly higher in NIC/PTEN-/- mice (10 vs 1-2 and 75.0% vs 37.5%, respectively,Ps<0.01). The Two models displayed distinct histopathological morphology. NIC/PTEN-/- tumor showed more Ki-67 positive cells than ErbB2KI/PTEN-/- tumor did (86.9%±2.8% vs 37.4%±7.2%,P<0.01), while the amount of cell apoptosis in tumors was not significantly different between two models. Conclusion: Two genetically engineered mouse models of ErbB2/Neu positive-PTEN homozygous deficient breast cancer with different phenotypes have been successfully generated, which may provide useful resource for further investigation of the initiation and progression of HER2/ErbB2 breast cancer, as well as for the development of novel prevention and treatment regimens of this malignance.
