The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the [()koU#w.
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that ql

have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or X2"/%!65{
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass u)Whr@m
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon &
BSn?
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed ,<X9 Y
2B
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the I5W~g.<6
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary ?Z} &EH
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in uHNCS zH(

Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis cidP|ie^
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it zKK9r~

remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, y<.5xq5_3
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, u$`a7Lp,n
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because Z #m+ObHK1
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs D3K8F@d
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited "^iYLQOC
defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic uvS)8-o&F

Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the mRK>U$v

100,000g. Membrane fractions were made soluble with MLB (Upstate) plus protease and QTXt8I
phosphatase inhibitors. After centrifugation for additional 30 min at 100,000g, the i||]V*5n
detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton-containing fraction was resolved by 0.5% SDS-PAGE. e`xdSi>E
