Abstract
Source: Chai, M. G., et al. Bioluminescent Orthotopic Model of Pancreatic Cancer Progression. J. Vis. Exp. (2013).
This video demonstrates an orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer that utilizes Matrigel for localized cell delivery and in vivo bioluminescence imaging for non-invasive monitoring of tumor progression. The orthotopic model is suited to both syngeneic and xenograft models and could be used in pre-clinical trials to investigate the impact of novel anti-cancer therapeutics on the growth of the primary pancreatic tumor and metastasis.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Transducing Pancreatic Cancer Cell Lines Transduce pancreatic cancer cells to express luciferase as previously described. Panc-1 and Capan-1 pancreatic cancer cell lines transduced with firefly luciferase are used here. Note: Renilla luciferase or bacterial luciferase may also be used. <p cla…
