Secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by cloned variants of QR fibrosarcoma or of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) did not correspond with their in vivo aggressive behavior. However, aggressiveness may be influenced by tumor responsiveness to PGE2. Each of the metastatic LLC or progressor QRpP variants was more motile in an in vitro migration model than were either the nonmetastatic LLC or regressor QR variants. One of the two tested progressor QR variants and all of the metastatic LLC variants were also more responsive to PGE2 in their in vitro migration through a membrane than were either regressor QR or nonmetastatic LLC variants. Thus, responsiveness to PGE2 by tumors may regulate the degree of tumor aggressiveness in vivo.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D005354 Fibrosarcoma A sarcoma derived from deep fibrous tissue, characterized by bundles of immature proliferating fibroblasts with variable collagen formation, which tends to invade locally and metastasize by the bloodstream. (Stedman, 25th ed) Fibrosarcomas
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
