Transplantable Mouse Tumor Models of Breast Cancer Metastasis

Chakrabarti, Rumela, Kang, Yibin·2015·Methods in Molecular Biology

Abstract

Metastatic spread of cancer cells is the main cause of death of breast cancer patients. A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of cancer metastasis is essential for the development of novel and effective therapies. The biological complexity of the metastasis process requires the combination of multiple experimental systems to model distinct steps of cancer metastasis. Several animal models have been generated to mimic the process of breast cancer metastasis, with unique advantages and drawbacks of each model. In this chapter, we describe transplantable xenograft and allograft methods to introduce human or mouse breast tumor cells into mice in order to generate spontaneous and experimental metastasis.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Animal models can imitate the TME to provide essential information regarding tumor growth and tumor response to drug compounds in vivo for the study of pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action after drug treatment.

    “Alternatively, animal models, as the gold standard in cancer biology, can imitate the TME to provide essential information regarding tumor growth and tumor response to drug compounds in vivo for the study of the pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action after drug treatment26–30.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
