mortality/aging
• development of hemangiomas leads to premature death starting to significant levels at ~50 weeks of age with induced cre expression
|
neoplasm
• mice develop an age-progressive hamarotomatous phenotype with cre expression
|
• females display mild hemangiomas, most exaggerated in the uterus and occasionally other tissues by 6-8 weeks after induction of cre expression with poly(I:C)
|
• discrete liver hemangiomas and occasionally angiosarcomas are observed in aged mice (5/7 in mice that died at 58-86 weeks and 2/2 examined at 96-98 weeks)
|
• in ~9% of mice, lesions progress to lethal angiosarcomas
|
liver/biliary system
• discrete liver hemangiomas and occasionally angiosarcomas are observed in aged mice (5/7 in mice that died at 58-86 weeks and 2/2 examined at 96-98 weeks)
