A CreER-Based Random Induction Strategy for Modeling Translocation-Associated Sarcomas in Mice

Abstract excerpt

Previously, we reported modeling synovial sarcomas in mice by conditionally expressing the human t(X;18) translocation-derived SYT-SSX2 fusion protein in Myf5-expressing myoblasts. Using a tamoxifen-inducible CreER system in mice, we show here that sporadic expression of SYT-SSX2 across multiple tissue types leads to exclusive formation of synovial sarcoma-like tumors, whereas its widespread expression is lethal....
