We found that Clu is down regulated during cancer progression in humans and in the TRAMP model. We reasoned that Knock down of Clu ( CLU KO mice) in a suitable prostate cancer model would affect disease progression. After crossing Clu KO with TRAMP mice, we observed a higher cancer invasion spreading in many different body sites including kidney and liver. In situ neoplastic and metastatic lesions, all positive for SV40 antigen transgene, were also consistently Ki67- and NF-kB- positive in TRAMP CLU-/- if compared to TRAMP CLU+/+ mice. Interestingly and surprisingly CLU depletion causes tumurigenesis in female TRAMP mice, which are normally cancer free.
