Mouse Models of Cancer Study02:43

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
In-vitro Mutagenesis01:16

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation biology
  • Genetics
  • Cancer research

Background:

  • The laboratory mouse is a long-standing model for radiation research.
  • Genetic engineering advances enable precise gene deletion in mice.
  • Spatial and temporal gene manipulation offers new research avenues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of genes in normal tissue and tumor responses to radiation.
  • To study mechanisms of acute and late radiation injury using genetically modified mice.
  • To explore tumor response to radiation therapy using engineered mouse models.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the Cre-loxP system for cell-type specific gene deletion in mice.
  • Targeting genes like p53 to study radiation response.
  • Generating primary tumors in mice for radiation therapy studies.

Main Results:

  • p53 deletion in the gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium prevents radiation-induced GI syndrome.
  • p53 is essential in endothelial and/or hematopoietic cells to prevent late radiation effects.
  • Genetically engineered mice models are effective for studying tumor response to radiation.

Conclusions:

  • Genetic engineering in mice provides a powerful system to study radiation effects.
  • p53 plays critical roles in mitigating acute and late radiation injury.
  • These models advance understanding of normal tissue response and cancer radiotherapy.
