Table 1 Overview of cancer rainbow (Crainbow) mouse lines.
From: A cancer rainbow mouse for visualizing the functional genomics of oncogenic clonal expansion
Symbol | Name | Oncogenea | Key observations | Map |
---|---|---|---|---|
NCAT | N-terminal truncated ßcatenin | Cre Off: Mars1 FAP Cre On: 1. ΔNßcat 2. ΔNßcat 3. ΔNßcat | The positional recombination efficiency of Crainbow is biased 2.3-fold at position 1, 0.36-fold at position 2, and 0.32-fold at position 3. | |
MCAT | Multiple isoforms of ßcatenin | Cre Off: Mars1 FAP Cre On: 1. ΔNßcat 2. Ccat/Lef1 3. ΔNßcatΔC | Clone expansion occurs rapidly during perinatal development but is constrained by intestinal epithelial homeostasis in adult. | |
ROBO | RSPO3 Crainbow | Cre Off: Mars1 FAP Cre On: 1. RSPO3 2. PTPRKe1:RSPO3e2–5 3. PTPRKe1–7:RSPO3e2–5 | RSPO3 oncogenes expand the crypt microenvironment to induce crypt fission and promote rapid oncogenic clone spreading in the adult epithelium. |
