We provide a protocol for gain-of-function (GOF) cDNA screen of genes that foster cancer cell colonization of secondary tissues, the last and most lethal step of the metastasis cascade. We present techniques for cDNA viral library preparation and delivery leading up to the recovery of colonization-promoting sequences in a proof-of-concept DU145-based mouse model of pulmonary metastasis. Adapted to other cDNA libraries and cancer models, this approach would prove widely useful in enumerating intrinsic genetic determinants underlying metastatic colonization. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to. Colonization is the last and most lethal bottleneck step of the metastasis cascade Gain-of-function (GOF) cDNA screen was adapted to probe cancer colonization of lung DU145 cells harboring GOF prostate cDNA library generated pulmonary macro-metastases Genomic PCR of macro-colonies exposed inserted cDNAs of potential colonization genes Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
