Abstract

The aim of this study was to establish a tumor model in mice with the expression of luciferase (Luc) and human prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA), in order to evaluate the activities of anticancer drugs or vaccines for prostate cancer. RM‑1 cells were stably transfected with pcDNA‑Luc and pcDNA‑PSCA plasmids. The Luc‑expressing cells were examined using a luminometer and the PSCA‑expressing cells were examined using a reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction (RT‑PCR) and flow cytometric analysis. Male C57BL/6 mice were inoculated subcutaneously with the RM‑PSCA/Luc cells, prior to the tumor growth and survival time of the mice being measured, respectively. In vivo bioluminescence imaging was used to detect Luc expression and immunohistochemical analysis was used to detect PSCA expression. Inoculation of the tumor cells into the C57BL/6 mice closely mimicked the tumor growth of prostate cancer. All of the inoculated mice exhibited a detectable tumor within two weeks. Tumor progression was able to be quantitatively monitored following the inoculation of 1x106 RM‑PSCA/Luc cells. There was an excellent correlation (R2=0.9849) between the photon counts and tumor volume. The expression of PSCA in tumor tissues was confirmed using immunohistochemical analysis. The Luc and PSCA co‑expression tumor model was successfully established in mice, which is likely to accelerate the understanding of the pathogenesis of prostate cancer and facilitate the development of novel antitumor drugs or vaccines for the disease.
