Abstract excerpt
We asked whether down-regulation of GH signaling could block carcinogenesis in the Probasin/TAg rat, a model of aggressive prostate cancer. The Spontaneous Dwarf rat, which lacks GH due to a mutation (dr) in its GH gene, was crossed with the Probasin/TAg rat, which develops prostate carcinomas at 100% incidence by 15 wk of age. Progeny were heterozygous for the TAg oncogene and homozygous for either the wild-type...
