PCa models in which microinvasive carcinoma is documented.

Model Alteration Driver and/or
Add. Genetic Alteration
Phenotype Reference
Timp3 Loss of expression Homozygous loss of Pten (conditional Pten allele) HGPIN with microinvasion [51]
mpAkt Gain of expression Myc gain of expression
under control of PB driver;
loss of Pten function
