The Unique Genetic and Histological Characteristics of DMBA-Induced Mammary Tumors in an Organoid-Based Carcinogenesis Model

Here, we report a model system using in vitro 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA; 0.6 μM)-treated mammary tissue-derived organoids generated from heterozygous BALB/c-Trp53 knockout mice to induce tumors after injection into the nude mouse subcutis. In parallel, a single oral dose of DMBA (50 mg/kg...
