| T1 |
0-164 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Loss of p53 and acquisition of angiogenic microRNA profile are insufficient to facilitate progression of bladder urothelial carcinoma in situ to invasive carcinoma. |
| T2 |
165-300 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressors in urothelium is considered critical for development of urothelial cancer. |
| T3 |
301-489 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here we report cloning of the urothelium-specific promoter uroplakin-II (UPK II) and generation of transgenic mice in which expression of SV40 large T antigen is driven by UPK II promoter. |
| T4 |
490-647 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inactivation of tumor suppressor p53 and pRb in urothelium by SV40 T antigen resulted in urothelial carcinoma, resembling human high-grade carcinoma in situ. |
| T5 |
648-793 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Specific deletion of p53 in urothelial cells using the newly generated UPK II-Cre mice results in normal bladders without any evidence of cancer. |
| T6 |
794-1017 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The high-grade carcinoma in situ in the UPK II-SV40 mice is associated with significant activation of angiogenic signals consisting of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and VEGF and a down-regulation of thrombospondin-1. |
| T7 |
1018-1117 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Interestingly, such pro-angiogenic activity was not associated with progression to invasive cancer. |
| T8 |
1118-1305 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Analysis of bladder-associated microRNAs in carcinoma in situ lesions reveals a pro-angiogenic profile, with specific overexpression of miR-18a and miR-19a and down-regulation of miR-107. |
| T9 |
1306-1436 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A group of microRNAs (miRs) identified as associated with invasive human urothelial cancer remained unchanged in this mouse model. |
| T10 |
1437-1584 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Collectively, our results support the notion that activation of angiogenesis and loss of p53 are not sufficient for progression to invasive cancer. |
| T11 |
1585-1747 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our studies identify a new mouse model for bladder cancer that can be used to study factors that determine progression to an invasive phenotype of bladder cancer. |
