neoplasm
• mice treated with doxycycline for 21 days develop invasive mammary carcinomas
• chronic treatment with doxycycline results in rapid development of multiple mammary tumors with 100% penetrance and a latency of 6 weeks
• mammary tumors are invasive solid nodular carcinomas
• withdrawal of doxycycline from chronically induced mutants results in full regression of tumors to a nonpalpable state in 94% of mice; a decrease in cell proliferation and increase in cell apoptosis is seen during regression
• mice in which doxycycline withdrawal leads to complete regression of tumors show tumor recurrence in the absence of doxycycline after an average of 153 +/- 93 days off doxycycline
• some mutants treated with doxycycline develop pulmonary metastases (solid pulmonary nodules on the pleural surface); these mice show hunched posture, ruffled fur, labored breathing and die within one week
• pulmonary metastases have features of mammary epithelial carcinomas
• withdrawal of doxycycline from chronically induced mutants with pulmonary metastasis results in regression of primary mammary tumors and resolution of the respiratory phenotype

mortality/aging
• mice that develop pulmonary metastases following chronic doxycycline treatment die within one week of developing a hunched posture and labored breathing

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice treated with doxycycline for 4 days exhibit hyperplastic abnormalities in the mammary ductal trees
• mice treated with doxycycline for 21 days develop invasive mammary carcinomas
• chronic treatment with doxycycline results in rapid development of multiple mammary tumors with 100% penetrance and a latency of 6 weeks
• mammary tumors are invasive solid nodular carcinomas
• withdrawal of doxycycline from chronically induced mutants results in full regression of tumors to a nonpalpable state in 94% of mice; a decrease in cell proliferation and increase in cell apoptosis is seen during regression
• mice in which doxycycline withdrawal leads to complete regression of tumors show tumor recurrence in the absence of doxycycline after an average of 153 +/- 93 days off doxycycline
