Abstract excerpt
The role of fibroblast APC mutation in carcinogenesis is not clear. Apc+/- colon fibroblasts have been previously characterized: however, little is known about their behavior at very early-stage of colon carcinogenesis. We cultured colon mucosa fibroblasts (PCF, Apc+/- ) of Pirc rats (F344/NTac-Apcam1137 ) at an early stage of tumorigenesis, in absence of preneoplastic lesions, and of age-matched wt (WCF): DNA...
