AOM-induced mouse colon tumors do not express full-length APC protein

Abstract

While evidence in both sporadic and inherited human colorectal cancer and MIN mice implicate the tumor suppressor gene, APC, in the causation of colorectal carcinogenesis, this gene has not been confirmed to be involved in rodent chemically-induced colon cancer models (RCCM). These experimental models are widely used to elucidate mechanisms involved in colon carcinogenesis (initiation, promotion and progression) as well as studies on chemoprevention (dietary and other) and intervention. To validate the RCCM as relevant models for sporadic human colorectal cancer, and to facilitate research on the role of the APC gene in colon carcinogenesis, we investigated the role of APC in azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colorectal tumors in mice. Using an antibody that recognizes the carboxy terminus of APC, we have characterized the pattern of staining observed in normal mouse intestinal tissue, in MIN mouse intestinal adenomas and in AOM-induced mouse colon tumors. The APC protein was localized in the cytoplasm of normal colonic epithelial cells. In the small intestine there was APC immunoreactivity along the villous and staining of the Paneth cells at the base of the glands. In the proximal and distal colonic crypts there appeared to be a gra...Continue Reading
