Effects of Gut-Targeted 15-LOX-1 Transgene Expression on Colonic Tumorigenesis in Mice
2 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Expression of 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is decreased in many human cancers; however, the mechanistic significance of its decreased expression has been difficult to determine because its mouse homolog 12/15-LOX has opposing functions. We generated a mouse model in which expression of a human 15-LOX-1 transgene was targeted to the intestinal epithelium via the villin promoter. Targeted expression was confirmed...
