endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• 12 of 21 mice show dysplastic changes in the pancreas after 1 year of age
• two types of dysplastic changes are seen: highly proliferating tubular complexes and large cystic changes
|
|
• decrease in acinar cell height starting at P14
|
|
• 4 of 21 mice develop malignant pancreatic tumors which are multicentric and originate from dysplastic tubular complexes and display a mixed cystic-papillary phenotype
(J:52757)
• 29% of mice develop malignant pancreatic tumors with a mean tumor-free survival of 410 days
(J:67389)

pancreas cyst
(
J:52757
)
|
• some mice show large cystic changes in the pancreas
|
|
• an increase in interlobular fibroblast population is seen as early as P14 which progresses to massive fibrosis with extensive extracellular matrix accumulation at P180
|
|
• in older mice, acinar cells change to duct-like cells, which form tubular structures and express ductal markers
|
