Studies on ts mutants of avian sarcoma viruses have previously implicated the src gene product (pp60src) kinase function in in vitro transformation. The role of src in vivo, however, has not been clearly defined. Using a sensitive and quantitative assay that was developed in chicken embryos (Chambers et al., Cancer Res. 42:4018-4025, 1982), we tested the in vivo tumorigenic properties of cells transformed with LA23, an avian sarcoma virus that is temperature sensitive for in vitro transformation. We found that the in vivo growth ability of these cells was temperature sensitive and that this in vivo behavior correlated with the in vitro transformation behavior (growth in soft agar and saturation density).

Regulation Of Regeneration

AbstractRegulated cell proliferation is an effector mechanism of regeneration, whilst dysregulated cell proliferation is a feature of cancer. We have previously identified microRNA (miRNA) that regulate successful and failed human liver regeneration. We hypothesized that these regulators may directly modify tumor behavior. Here we show that inhibition of miRNAs -503 and -23a, alone or in combination, enhances tumor proliferation in hepatocyte and non-hepatocyte derived cancers in vitro, driving more aggressive tumor behavior in vivo. Inhibition of miRNA-152 caused induction of DNMT1, site-specific methylation with associated changes in gene expression and in vitro and in vivo growth inhibition. Enforced changes in expression of two miRNA recapitulating changes observed in failed regeneration led to complete growth inhibition of multi-lineage cancers in vivo. Our results indicate that regulation of regeneration and tumor aggressiveness are concordant and that miRNA-based inhibitors of regeneration may constitute a novel treatment strategy for human cancers.

Abstract Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a devastating brain tumor affecting young children. Immunotherapies hold promise however the lack of immunocompetent models recreating a faithful tumor microenvironment (TME) remains a challenge for development of targeted immunotherapeutics. We propose to generate an immunocompetent DIPG mouse model through induced overexpression of interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 (IL13Rα2), a tumor-associated antigen overexpressed by glioma cells. A model with an intact TME permits comprehensive preclinical assessment of IL13Rα2-targeted immunotherapeutics. Our novel model uses the retroviral avian leucosis and sarcoma virus (RCAS) for in vivo gene delivery leading to IL13Rα2 expression in proliferating progenitor cells. Transfected cells expressing IL13Rα2 and PDGFB, a ligand for platelet derived growth factor receptor, alongside induced p53 loss via the Cre-Lox system are injected in the fourth ventricle in postnatal pups. We validated the expression of PDGFB and IL13Rα2 transgenes in vitro and in vivo and will characterize the TME through evaluation of the peripheral and tumor immunologic compartments using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. We confirmed expression of transgenes via flow cytometry and western blotting. Comparison of survival dynamics in mice inoculated with PDGFB alone with PDGFB+IL13Rα2 demonstrated that co-expression of IL13Rα2 did not significantly affect mice survival compared to the PDGFB model. At time of application, we initiated experiments to characterize the TME. Preliminary data demonstrate establishment of tumors within and adjacent to the brainstem and expression of target transgenes. Preclinical findings in a model recapitulating the TME may provide better insight into outcomes upon translation to clinical application.
