[Abstract] Metastasis depends on a gene program expressed by the tumor microenvironment upon TGF-beta stimulation. CRC (Colorectal cancer) cell lines did not induce robust stromal TGF-beta responses when injected into nude mice as shown by lack of p-SMAD2 accumulation in tumor-associated stromal cells. To enforce high TGF-beta signaling in xenografts, we engineered CRC cell lines to secrete active TGF-beta. Subcutaneous tumors obtained from HT29-M6TGF-β, KM12L4aTGF-β cells and SW48TGF-β cells contained abundant p-SMAD2+ stromal cells.
[摘要] 转移依赖于在TGF-β刺激时由肿瘤微环境表达的基因程序。 当注射到裸鼠中时，CRC（结肠直肠癌）细胞系不诱导强烈的基质TGF-β应答，如肿瘤相关基质细胞中缺乏p-SMAD2积累所示。 为了在异种移植物中强化高TGF-β信号传导，我们设计CRC细胞系以分泌活性TGF-β。 从HT29-M6TGF-β，KM12L4aTGF-β细胞和SW48TGF-β细胞获得的皮下肿瘤含有丰富的p-SMAD2 + 基质细胞。
