项目摘要

ABSTRACT – RODENT CANCER MODELS SHARED RESOURCE The Rodent Cancer Models Shared Resource (RCM) provides Duke Cancer Institute (DCI) members a full service approach to the investigation of cancer biology, from the creation of rodent models through the testing of chemotherapeutics. To achieve that goal DCI’s RCM combined two primary services: the Cancer Center Isolation Facility (CCIF) and the Rodent Genetic Engineering Services Team (RGEST). CCIF is a 30,000 square foot, stand-alone rodent barrier facility located in the heart of the Duke biomedical campus operated by the Duke Division of Laboratory Animal Resources (DLAR) and dedicated to cancer research. The CCIF physical plant supports work with hazardous materials at biosafety level 2 (BSL2), recombinant DNA, chemotherapeutics, as well as the maintenance of immunosuppressed (outbred athymic nude mice and inbred Nod SCID gamma (NSG) mice) and specific pathogen-free (SPF) rodents. Occupying space in CCIF and in nearby facities, RGEST produces custom designed, genetically altered, transgenic and gene-targeted mice. RCM personnel assist DCI investigators who require assistance with breeding services, veterinary or diagnostic services, animal and experimental protocol development, inoculation or testing of cell lines, and guidance for conducting safe and efficient cancer biology research. CCIF also provides equipment and rodent housing space for the CCSG- supported Optical Molecular Imaging and Analysis (OMIA) shared resource. Recently, significant investments by the Duke School of Medicine have enabled upgrades to CCIF and RGEST equipment. In 2018, the RCM provided services to 78 investigators, 61% of whom were DCI members and who accounted for 94% of total usage and represented all 8 DCI Research Programs. Use of this shared resource by DCI Members contributed to 332 DCI publications over the project period, 103 of which were in high impact journals (Impact Factor>9), demonstrating the value of RCM services. The immediate and long-term objectives of the RCM are to continue to provide high-quality barrier facility services, low-cost, high-quality immunocompromised and SPF mice and genetically engineered animal models using cutting edge approaches, improve and upgrade services when possible, and to provide key expertise and services to DCI members studying cancer biology and developing new agents for treating or diagnosing human cancers.

摘要 – 啮齿动物癌症模型共享资源啮齿动物癌症模型共享资源 (RCM) 为杜克癌症研究所 (DCI) 成员提供了完整的癌症生物学研究的服务方法，从啮齿动物模型的创建到测试为了实现这一目标，DCI 的 RCM 结合了两个主要服务：癌症中心。隔离设施 (CCIF) 和啮齿动物基因工程服务团队 (RGEST) 占地 30,000 平方米。位于杜克大学生物医学园区中心的独立啮齿动物屏障设施，由杜克大学运营实验动物资源部 (DLAR) 致力于癌症研究 CCIF 物理工厂。支持生物安全 2 级 (BSL2) 的危险材料、重组 DNA、化疗等方面的工作以及维持免疫抑制（远交无胸腺裸鼠和近交Nod SCID γ (NSG) 小鼠）和特定无病原体（SPF）啮齿动物在 CCIF 和附近设施中占据空间，RGEST。生产定制设计的转基因小鼠和基因靶向小鼠，RCM 人员协助 DCI。需要育种服务、兽医或诊断服务、动物和实验方案的开发、细胞系的接种或测试，以及进行安全和可靠的指导 CCIF 还为 CCSG 提供设备和啮齿动物饲养空间。支持光学分子成像和分析 (OMIA) 共享资源最近，重大投资。杜克大学医学院的团队已启用 CCIF 和 RGEST 设备的升级。 2018 年，RCM 为 78 名调查员提供了服务，其中 61% 是 DCI 成员，占总使用量的 94%，代表了所有 8 个 DCI 研究计划对该共享资源的使用。 DCI 成员在项目期间贡献了 332 份 DCI 出版物，其中 103 份具有较高影响力期刊（影响因子>9），展示了 RCM 服务的价值近期和长期目标。 RCM的宗旨是继续提供高质量的屏障设施服务，低成本、高品质使用尖端方法的免疫受损和 SPF 小鼠以及基因工程动物模型，尽可能改进和升级服务，并向 DCI 成员提供关键的专业知识和服务研究癌症生物学并开发用于治疗或诊断人类癌症的新药物。
