Related Genotype: Tyrc/TyrcDescription
Mammary glands from virgin hemizygous females carrying the (Wnt1)1Hev transgene resemble hormonally-stimulated glands from pregnant mice. There was a marked increase in numbers of terminal branches and alveoli, producing a diffuse lobular hyperplasia. Parous transgenic females were unable to lactate. Hemizygous transgenic male glands, while less developed, also were hyperplastic. Adenocarcinomas developed between 3 and 7 months in females and more rarely in males. Occasional metastatic lesions were observed in females. Salivary adenocarcinomas were also occasionally observed in both males and females. Tumors arose stochastically, indicating additional events are required for neoplasia. Subsequent work with Wnt1 transgenic mice includes infection with MMTV to identify contributing oncogenes and mating to transgenic mice bearing other oncogenes.Development
The construct contained an MMTV LTR about 1 kb upstream from a Wnt1 genomic clone, with SV40 splice and polyadenylation sites added at the 3' end, and was microinjected into (C57BL/6 X SJL)F1 fertilized eggs. The strain was backcrossed to FVB/NJ for 11 generations.
