Abstract

Transgenic rats containing the mouse albumin promoter and enhancer directing the expression of simian virus (SV40) T antigen (T Ag) exhibited a 100% incidence of hepatic neoplasms by 24-36 wk of age. These transgenic rats exhibited expression of large T Ag and c-myc protein within focal basophilic lesions and nodules, but not in surrounding hepatocytes. At 24 wk of age, female TG+ rats exhibited a significantly greater number of lesions and a much greater percentage of the liver occupied by TG+ focal hepatic lesions than did their male TG+ littermates. Previous studies on these animals [Sargent et al., Cancer Res 1997;57:3451-3456] demonstrate that at 12 wk of age approximately one-third of metaphases in hepatocytes exhibit a duplication of the 1q3.7-1q4.1 region of rat chromosome 1, with the smallest common region of duplication being that of 1q4.1. Duplication of the 1q3.7-1q4.3 region is also noted in many primary hepatic neoplasms resulting from the multistage model of Initiation-Promotion-Progression (IPP) [Sargent et al., Cancer Res 1996;56:2985-2991]. This region is syntenic with human 11p15.5 and mouse 7ter, which have been implicated in the development of specific neoplasms. Within the syntenic region was a cluster of ...Continue Reading
