Pharmacological inhibition of p38 MAPK reduces tumor growth in patient-derived xenografts from colon tumors
Colorectal cancer is a major health problem and the second cause of cancer related death in western countries. Signaling pathways that control tissue homeostasis are often deregulated during tumorigenesis and contribute to tumor development. Studies in mouse models have shown that the p38 MAPK pathway regulates homeostasis in colon epithelial cells but also plays an important role in colon tumo...
متن کاملMaintaining Tumor Heterogeneity in Patient-Derived Tumor Xenografts.
Preclinical models often fail to capture the diverse heterogeneity of human malignancies and as such lack clinical predictive power. Patient-derived tumor xenografts (PDX) have emerged as a powerful technology: capable of retaining the molecular heterogeneity of their originating sample. However, heterogeneity within a tumor is governed by both cell-autonomous (e.g., genetic and epigenetic hete...
متن کاملPatient-Derived Xenografts in Oncology
Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2012, approximately 14 million new cases and about eight million cancer-related deaths were reported. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 1,685,210 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed and 595,690 people will die from the disease (www.cancer.gov). Scientists for many years have been investigating cancer biology in a...
متن کاملPatient-derived tumor xenografts: transforming clinical samples into mouse models.
Tumor graft models (also known as patient-derived xenografts or PDX) are based on the transfer of primary tumors directly from the patient into an immunodeficient mouse. Because PDX mice are derived from human tumors, they offer a tool for developing anticancer therapies and personalized medicine for patients with cancer. In addition, these models can be used to study metastasis and tumor genet...
متن کاملEstablishment of Patient-derived Xenografts in Mice.
Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models for cancer research have recently attracted considerable attention in both the academy and industry (Hidalgo et al., 2014; Wilding and Bodmer, 2014). PDX models have been developed from different tumor types including lung cancer to improve the drug development process. These models are used for pre-clinical drug evaluation and can be used for the predicti...
