Panel A shows a polymerase chain reaction gel image with lanes indicating excision of the T2/Onc2 transposon. Panel B shows a Kaplan–Meier survival analysis line graph comparing NP-SB negative and NP-SB positive mice, with the y-axis representing survival probability in percent and the x-axis representing days after TAM. Panel C shows representative hematoxylin and eosin stained images of prostate tumors at low and high magnification for NP-SB negative and NP-SB positive mice. Panel D shows a violin plot summarizing tumor weights from NPp53-SB negative and NPp53-SB positive non-NEPC and NEPC mice, with the y-axis representing weight in grams. Panel E shows a box plot quantifying Ki67 expression in tumors, with the y-axis representing the percentage of Ki67-positive cells. Panel F shows representative hematoxylin and eosin stained images of lymph node, lung, and liver tissues. Panel G shows a bar graph depicting metastasis frequency in these tissues, with the y-axis representing percentage. Panels H through K show representative hematoxylin and eosin stained images of variant tumor histology for NPp53-SB negative and NPp53-SB positive non-NEPC and NEPC mice at different magnifications.
Additional analyses of the prostate phenotype of SB mice (related to Fig. 2). (A) PCR showing evidence of excision of the T2/Onc2 transposon in induced NPp53-SB(+) tumors (lanes 3–8) but not in tumors without the SB (NPp53-SB(−)) or non-induced NPp53-SB(+) tumors (lanes 1, 2, respectively) (n = 10). (B and C) Analysis of the phenotype of NP-SB(−) (n = 12) and NP-SB(+) mice (n = 18). (B) Kaplan–Meier survival analysis. P value was calculated using a Log-rank test. (C) Representative H&E images of prostate tumors showing low power and high-power. n = 5 independent tumors/group. Scale bars represent 50 µm for low power and 20 µm for high power H&E. (D and E) Additional analyses of non-NEPC and NEPC tumors from the NPp53-SB(−) and NPp53-SB(+) mice. (D) Summary of tumor weights from NPp53-SB(−) (n = 29) and NPp53-SB(+) non-NEPC (n = 43) and NPp53-SB(+) NEPC (n = 27) mice. (E) Quantification of Ki67 expression in tumors from NPp53-SB(−) and NPp53-SB(+) non-NEPC and NEPC. Data were obtained by counting a minimum of 8,000 cells from five sections per tumor from three independent tumors per condition. (F and G) Analyses of metastasis in NPp53-SB(−) and NPp53-SB(+) mice. Representative cases of NPp53-SB(−) (n = 29) and NPp53-SB(+) non-NEPC (n = 43) and NPp53-SB(+) NEPC (n = 27) mice. (F) Representative H&E images of the indicated tissues. Scale bars represent 50 µm. (G) Metastasis frequency for the tissues indicated. (H–K) Representative H&E images showing examples of variant tumor histology for NPp53-SB(−) (n = 29) and NPp53-SB(+) non-NEPC (n = 43) and NPp53-SB(+) NEPC (n = 27) mice. (H and I) Selected NPp53-SB(−) cases. (J and K) Selected NPp53-SB(+) cases. Scale bars in H and J represent 50 µm for low power (top) and 20 µm for high power (bottom) images. Scale bars in I and K represent 250 µm for low power (left side) and 100 µm for high power (right side). Detailed histopathological analysis is provided in Table S1.
