      DescriptionBT-RMS Brain-tropic RET Melanoma-sorted Mouse Cell Line
      OverviewThe mouse brain-tropic RET melanoma-sorted (BT-RMS) cell line is a derivative of the Ret-melanoma sorted cell line (RMS, Cat. No. SCC462). The RMS parental cells were isolated from a spontaneously occurring skin tumor in RET transgenic mice. SCC465 cells were derived from brain tumors formed after intracardiac injection of Ret malanoma-sorted (RMS) cells.
      Alternate Names
      • BT-RMS melanoma cell line
      • brain-tropic melanoma cell line
      • RET melanoma brain cell line
      Background InformationThe RET oncogene was originally created by an accidental in-vivo recombination of two human genes, Ret and RFP (the Ret-finger protein then, known today as TRIM27), during a transformation of the NIH3T3 cells with human lymphoma DNA.1 The founder Ret transgenic mouse strains were generated by the embryonic microinjection of the RFP-Ret oncogene under the mouse metallothionein-I promoter-enhancer, and a spontaneous metastatic melanoma model line was established by repetitive rounds of back-crossing of one of such founders. The parental mouse Ret-melanoma sorted (RMS) cell line (Cat. No. SCC462), was created by engineering the isolated Ret-melanoma cells to express the fluorescent reporter gene mCherry by retroviral transduction and selecting for its high expression by FACS.

      SOURCE

      BT-RMS cells were derived from the brain tumors that formed upon the intracardiac injection of the Ret-melanoma sorted cells (RMS), which in turn were derived from the spontaneous metastatic skin tumors in Ret-transgenic mice. The founder transgenic mice were created by microinjection of the Ret transgene into the fertilized egg of (C57BL/6 x BALB/c) x BALB/c mice.2 One such founder was crossed with BCF1 (BALB/c x C57BL/6) mice to establish a transgenic line, designated “the 304 line.” When these F1 transgenic mice were subsequently crossed with C57BL/6 mice (coat color: black), BCF1 mice (agouti), and BALB/c mice (albino), benign melanocytic tumors often developed spontaneously in the pigmented F2 offspring but did not progress to metastatic tumors.2 The spontaneous metastatic melanoma model (designated the 304/B6 line), in which the parent of the SCC462 cells arose, was generated by 10 rounds of back-crossing of the 304 line with C57BL/6 mice.
