Abstract

Purpose

ApcMin/+ mouse is an excellent animal model bearing multiple intestinal neoplasia, used to simulate human familial adenomatous polyposis and colorectal tumors. The key point of this model is the mutation of Apc gene, which is a significant tumor-suppressor gene in the Wnt signaling pathway. There are also some other possible mechanisms responsible for the development of colorectal tumors in the ApcMin/+ mouse model, such as tumor-associated signaling pathways activation, the changes of tumor-related genes, and the involvement of some related proteins or molecules.

Methods

The relevant literatures about ApcMin/+ mouse model from PUBMED databases are reviewed in this study.

Results

In recent years, increasing studies have focused on the application of ApcMin/+ mouse model in colorectal tumor, trying to find effective therapeutic targets for further use.

Conclusion

This article will give a brief review on the related molecular mechanisms of the ApcMin/+ mouse model and its application in colorectal tumor researches.
