Abstract 要求简洁,连贯 l_04b];
The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the KU/QEeqbrp
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that kda*rl~c
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or z\,
lPwB2
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass l(3PxbT
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon 8(NS;?
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed beYGP
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the @pJ;L1sn
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary Xe`$SNM
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in aRn""3[
the lungs but did not form ectopic tumors. $Sm iN'7;
Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis nWf8r8
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it j)Q}5M
remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, $*XTX?,'
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, L
1 k
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because ?a,`{1m0\
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs $i3`cX)g
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited &'i.W}Ib!
defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic 8c%N+E]

100,000g. Membrane fractions were made soluble with MLB (Upstate) plus protease and X3L[y\
phosphatase inhibitors. After centrifugation for additional 30 min at 100,000g, the UJ)M:~O
detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton-containing fraction was resolved by 0.5% SDS-PAGE. J~'Q^O3@
