mortality/aging
• 6 of 35 die from unknown causes, with no tumors
(J:1999)
• mice succumb to tumorigenesis by 8 months of age
(J:126497)
|
neoplasm
• 26 of 35 (76%) develop a variety of neoplasms by 6 months of age
(J:1999)
• tumor occurrence increases rapidly between 15 and 25 weeks of age
(J:1999)
• spontaneously develop fatal tumors by 10 months of age
(J:108183)
|
• most frequent tumors observed are malignant lymphomas that involve the thymus and other major visceral organs
|
• in 18 of 26 mice
|
• sarcomas are also frequently observed and include hemangiosarcoma, undifferentiated sarcomas and osteosarcoma
(J:1999)
• in 8 of 26 mice
(J:126497)
|
cellular
• the G2 to M check point is impaired after irradiation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts
|
• MEFs sensitized to apoptosis by E1A overexpression show very low levels of apoptosis induced by irradiation or chemical treatment compared to wild-type or Trp53tm1Wahl MEFs
(J:108183)
• p53-dependent apoptosis following exposure to radiation is abolished
(J:126497)
|
• E12.5 primary telencephalic cultures show resistance to AraC induced caspase 3 activation and neuronal cell death
|
nervous system
• E12.5 primary telencephalic cultures show resistance to AraC induced caspase 3 activation and neuronal cell death
