Alternative mouse models for carcinogenicity assessment: industry use and issues with pathology interpretation

Toxicologic Pathology
Gerald LongMikala Skydsgaard

Abstract

The Carcinogenicity Alternative Mouse Models (CAMM) Working Group of the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) surveyed the membership to define current practices and opinions in industry regarding the use of alternative mouse models for carcinogenicity testing. The results of the survey indicated that CAMM are used most often to fulfill a regulatory requirement (e.g., to replace the two-year mouse bioassay) and are being accepted by regulatory agencies. Alternative models are also sometimes used for internal decision making or to address a mechanistic question. The CAMM most commonly used are the p53+/- and rasH2. The rasH2 appears to be the currently accepted model for general carcinogenicity testing. Problems with study interpretation included lack of historic background data, unexpected tumor finding, and tumor identification/characterization of early lesions. Problems with implementation or conduct of the study included extent of the pathology evaluation, numbers of animals, survival, and study duration. Recommendations were developed for, frequency and type of positive control testing, extent of histopathologic examination of test article-treated and positive control animals, current use and future development of diagnos...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
