Description
Study reporting an in-vivo two-stage initiation/promotion model, testing the hypothesis that Ereg deficiency would reduce lung tumor promotion in mice. Cancerogenesis with chemical initiators/promoters (3-methylcholanthrene or control, butylated hydroxytoluene) was assessed in mice lacking Ereg (Ereg-/-) and wildtype controls (BALB/ByJ; Ereg+/+) at multiple time points and endpoints (bronchoalveolar lavage analysis, tumor analysis, mRNA expression, ELISA, wound assay). Initially a significantly reduced amount of inflammation (macrophages, PMNs) was observed in the Ereg-/- mice. At 20 wk, tumor multiplicity was also significantly decreased in the Ereg-/- mice.
