Model Description

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a heritable condition in which affected individuals develop benign intestinal polyps. Often, polyps progress to colorectal carcinomas later in life. The mutation of C57BL/6-Apcem1(L850X)Smoc(NM-KI-200001) strain of SMOC refers to the ApcMin model (Jax: 002020 ), a useful model to study intestinal adenomas. The C57BL/6-Apcem1(L850X)Smoc strain is highly susceptible to spontaneous intestinal adenoma formation and can be used as a research model for human FAP. These mice carry a p.L850X mutation of Apc gene.

Validation Data

Along with the development of intestinal adenoma, we found that most of Apc-(L850X) mice heterozygous mice raised on a normal diet died by 160 days of age (Figure 1).

The data of food intake and body weight analysis showed that Apc-(L850X) mice had reduced food intake and lighter body weights with the age(Figure 2-3).

Most of the C57BL/6-Apcem1(L850X)Smoc heterozygous mice raised adenomas throughout the intestinal tract with the age (Figure 4-5 ).

Pathologic results showed that adenomatous hyperplasia appeared in epithelium of intestinal type (Figure 6-8). Blue arrows indicate hyperplasia of gland, which is intestinal adenoma. Yellow arrows show inflammatory cells infiltrating the mucosal layer. Gray arrows show mesenteric lymph nodes.
