Mammary tumor modifiers in BALB/cJ mice heterozygous for p53

Abstract: BALB/c mice are predisposed to developing spontaneous mammary tumors, which are further increased in a p53 heterozygous state. C57BL/6J mice are resistant to induced mammary tumors and develop less than 1% mammary tumors in both wild-type and p53+/- states. To map modifiers of mammary tumorigenesis, we have established F1 and F2 crosses and backcrosses to BALB/cJ (N2-BALB/cJ) and C57BL/6J (N2-C57BL/6J) strains. All cohorts developed mammary carcinomas in p53+/- females, suggesting that multiple loci dominantly… Show more

“…To investigate whether increased expression of Pla2g16 contributes to progression and metastasis in other types of tumors, we generated p53 R172H/+ mice in a BALB/cJ background. BALB/cJ mice are inherently susceptible to mammary tumors and the absence of p53 increases tumor incidence (44). We also treated these mice with a sublethal dose of radiation to decrease the latency of tumorigenesis, as previously described (34).…”

“…Just as humans have unique genetic subpopulations with distinct cancer incidence, mice have unique strains that show differences in susceptibility to cancers (47). For example, offspring of C57BL/6J and BALB/cJ female mice mated with male transgenic mice carrying the polyoma virus middle T (PyMT) antigen have altered tumor latency and decreased metastatic burden compared with offspring of similarly mated FVB/NJ mice (8).…”

“…On the other hand, mouse models, and in particular those making use of congenic strains, have been shown to have a bearing on the identification of cancer susceptibility genes (3,4). Although more than 100 cancer susceptibility loci have been mapped in mice (5), relatively few of these have been translated into specific genes (6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”
