PG - 3455-60 AB - Transgenic mice expressing human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in basal epithelial cells of prostate have been characterized. Transgene expression led to activation of the IGF-1 receptor and spontaneous tumorigenesis in prostate epithelium. Hyperplasia was evident in these mice by 2-3 months of age. Atypical hyperplasias and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia were evident by 6-7 months of age. Well differentiated adenocarcinomas appeared in mice 6 months or older. Less differentiated tumors, diagnosed as small cell carcinomas, were also observed in two of the older mice. Both lobes of the mouse prostate gland (dorsolateral and ventral) presented preneoplastic and neoplastic changes. The incidence of tumors in mice >/=6 months of age (38 mice total) was 50%. The development of neoplasia in these transgenic mice appeared to follow a stepwise progression through early preneoplastic changes that ultimately culminated in frank neoplasia. These mice offer an animal model for prostate cancer that will allow study of the stepwise development of this disease and the mechanism(s) whereby IGF-1 mediates this process.
