• females treated with doxycycline for 4 weeks exhibit increased mammary ductal side-branching and enlarged focal nodular structures filled with hyperproliferative cells characteristic of early neoplastic lesions
• chronic doxycycline induction results in development of mammary tumors with 95% penetrance and a mean latency of 7 months
• withdrawal of doxycycline from females bearing tumors results in tumor regression during the first week after doxycycline removal, with a reduction in cellular proliferation and increase in apoptosis
• withdrawal of doxycycline from females bearing tumors for up to 6 months results in 33% of tumors showing complete regression to a nonpalpable state within 1-2 months after doxycycline withdrawal with no regrowth, while 64% of tumors partially regress but then resume growth without doxycline and 3% partially regress but do not resume growth
• mammary tumors of doxycycline treated females include adenocarcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas

• mice treated with doxycycline for 2 weeks exhibit increased lateral branching and ductal ectasia of adult mammary ductal trees
• doxycycline treatment beginning at 8 weeks of age results in the development of mammary tumors with 100% penetrance and median latency of about 2 months
• tumors are consistent with moderate to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma admixed with foci of ductal carcinoma in situ resembling human HER2-positive breast cancers
• tumor cell apoptosis and reduced tumor cellularity are seen within 24-48 hours of doxycycline removal, followed by tumor regression within 4-5 days
• lapatinib treatment results in arrest of tumor growth and/or regression
• about 2/3 of mice develop a recurrent mammary gland tumor when doxycycline is withdrawn; recurrent tumors do not express ERBB2 and have different expression profiles than primary tumors
• trastuzumab treatment results in in tumor regression and subsequent regrowth in two tumors despite continued therapy, indicating development of trastuzumab-resistant tumors
• primary tumor cells treated with both lapatinib and trastuzumab exhibit some growth inhibition which is enhanced further with the addition of the CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib

• diffuse mammary hyperplasia is seen at 7 days after doxycycline administration, numerous tumor nodules are seen throughout the glandular tree at 14 days and confluent tumors are present at 21 days
• removal of doxycycline results in apoptosis and reduced proliferation of tumors
• after doxycycline withdrawal, almost all of the transformed mammary glands completely regress to a nonpalpable state within 2 weeks
• solitary mammary tumors develop after withdrawal of doxycycline in 20 of 36 mice at a median age of 53 weeks, indicating recurrent tumors
• in the absence of doxycycline, only one of 31 mice develop a mammary tumor
• tumor recurrence is associated with reactivation of oncogenic transgenes and somatic mutations in the rtTA transgene
