Abstract 要求简洁,连贯 U8TH} 9Q
The acquisition of metastatic ability by tumor cells is considered a late event in the Y' K+O
evolution of malignant tumors. We report that untransformed mouse mammary cells that ,@I_b
have been engineered to express the inducible oncogenic transgenes MYC and KrasD12, or NqyKR&;
polyoma middle T, and introduced into the systemic circulation of a mouse can bypass :yg:sU
transformation at the primary site and develop into metastatic pulmonary lesions upon ZqT8G
immediate or delayed oncogene induction. Therefore, previously untransformed ;k1\-
mammary cells may establish residence in the lung once they have entered the @o4+MQFn
bloodstream and may assume malignant growth upon oncogene activation. Mammary bu[PQsT
cells lacking oncogenic transgenes displayed a similar capacity for long-term residence in #?=?<"*j
the lungs but did not form ectopic tumors. <zd_-Ysn
Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis X}"Ic@8
(CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it H}v.0R
remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, a^:on?:9
but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, 9Q\CJ9
including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because ,Sz`$'^c
pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs w5/`_m!
with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited cD

Combinatorial assembly of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) gene segments achieves the >z{*>i,m1

100,000g. Membrane fractions were made soluble with MLB (Upstate) plus protease and !D
phosphatase inhibitors. After centrifugation for additional 30 min at 100,000g, the 6E
detergent-insoluble cytoskeleton-containing fraction was resolved by 0.5% SDS-PAGE. R+^/(Ws'<
