mortality/aging
• induced mice start to show significant mortality starting at ~22 weeks with ~90% mortality by 75 weeks of age
|
neoplasm
• by 19-30 weeks, after cre induction, mice develop aggressive CD8+ CD4+ thymic lymphomas that spread to the spleen, lymph nodes and liver
• wild-type mice and all other conditional genotypes examined here do not show any lymphomas up to 100 weeks of age
|
• mice develop an age-progressive hamarotomatous phenotype with cre expression
|
• mice show widespread development of hemangiomas, most exaggerated in uterus and visible by 6-8 weeks
• lesions (usually benign) progress greatly by 30-40 weeks, with affected animals showing massive hemangiomas with intraluminal blood and thrombi in skeletal muscle, abdominal wall, liver, adrenal glands, bone marrow, omentum, lymph nodes, and skin
|
• in ~9% of mice, lesions progress to lethal angiosarcomas
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• by 19-30 weeks, after cre induction, mice develop aggressive CD8+ CD4+ thymic lymphomas that spread to the spleen, lymph nodes and liver
• wild-type mice and all other conditional genotypes examined here do not show any lymphomas up to 100 weeks of age
