NPM1 knockout tumor progression study in syngeneic mice

Validation Score: 0.900 Price: $0.50 cancer syngeneic mice with subcutaneous tumor xenografts Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Validation experiment designed to validate causal mechanisms targeting NPM1 in syngeneic mice with subcutaneous tumor xenografts. Primary outcome: tumor progression and survival rates

Description

Subcutaneous inoculation of Npm1-deficient tumor cells into syngeneic mice to examine the roles of NPM1 in tumor progression and tumor microenvironment reprogramming. The study evaluated tumor growth kinetics, survival of tumor-bearing mice, immune cell infiltration patterns, and activation states using comprehensive flow cytometry, CyTOF, immunohistochemistry staining, and RNA-seq analysis. Loss of NPM1 was shown to inhibit tumor progression and enhance survival, with increased CD8+ T cell infiltration and activation alongside reduced presence of immunosuppressive cells.
