digestive/alimentary system
• corpus tumors display poorly differentiated and hyperplastic epithelium histologically
|
• in the corpus mucosa as a result of tumor formation
• however, antral mucosa thickness is similar to Il6st single mutants
|
• unlike Il6st single mutants which develop primarily antral tumors, double mutants show extensive focal tumorigenesis of the corpus and squamous epithelium overlying the limiting ridge of the corpus/forestomach junction at 12 weeks of age
• increase in both the number of corpus tumor foci and macroscopic corpus tumor area
• however, antral tumor load is similar to Il6st single mutants
