Abstract 要求简洁,连贯 .1#kDM
The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the I
`T1Pll
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that u#@RM^738d
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or d$G}iJ8$mp
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass V%*b@zv
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon o:~
LF6A-
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed W3GNA""O
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the [ *>AN7W
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary ;SY\U7B\
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in 3TS_-l
the lungs but did not form ectopic tumors. i{Ds&{
Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis IeP
WOpj3
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it ,[e\

but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, S\=1_LDx"
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because %\Wf^6Y^
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs q%i-`S]}qL
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited "N5!mpD"
