mortality/aging
• mice die between 8 and 18 weeks after doxycycline (dox) treatment to induce Kras2 expression due to pancreatic ductal adenocarinoma

neoplasm
• mice develop invasive adenocarcinoma between 8 and 18 weeks after dox treatment, with some cases showing hemorrhagic ascites, with admixed poorly differentiated and well-differentiated areas and duodenal invasion
• mice in which dox is removed recover their health and show pancreatic tumor regression resulting in a small pancreatic remnant
• adult mice treated with dox 72 hours prior to injection with cholecystokinin analog cerulein to induce acute pancreatitis develop PanINs, dilated ducts with the presence of intracellular mucins, and extensive fibroinflammatory stroma

homeostasis/metabolism
• adult mice treated with dox for 5 weeks prior to injection with cholecystokinin analog cerulein to induce acute pancreatitis exhibit a small, translucent remnant of pancreatic tissue, without fibrosis or PanIN lesions
• when dox is removed after pancreatitis induction, mice show show normal acini interspersed with dilated ducts and acinar-ductal metaplasia, fibrosis and occasional lipomatosis, but with minimal inflammatory infiltrate, and reduced proliferation

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice develop invasive adenocarcinoma between 8 and 18 weeks after dox treatment, with some cases showing hemorrhagic ascites, with admixed poorly differentiated and well-differentiated areas and duodenal invasion
• mice in which dox is removed recover their health and show pancreatic tumor regression resulting in a small pancreatic remnant

neoplasm
• 1 of 2 mice treated with doxycycline (dox) at 4-6 weeks of age show frank adenocarcinoma by 23 weeks on dox
• adult mice treated with dox 72 hours prior to injection with the cholecystokinin analog cerulein to induce acute pancreatitis show low- and high-grade PanIN lesions interspersed with areas of carcinoma in situ at 5 weeks after induction
• mice treated with doxycycline (dox) at 4-6 weeks of age to induce Kras2 expression begin to show low-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) beginning at 3 weeks after dox treatment
• mice treated with dox at 4-6 weeks of age show PanIN, surrounded by areas of fibrosis and embedded in the acinar parenchyma after 18 weeks on dox and by 23 weeks, large areas of the pancreatic parenchyma are substituted with PanIN lesions of different grade, with frank adenocarcinoma seen in 1 of 2 mice
• mice kept on dox for 23 weeks show reversion of PanINs when dox is removed for 2 weeks
• adult mice treated with dox 72 hours prior to injection with the cholecystokinin analog cerulein, to induce acute pancreatitis, develop low- and high-grade PanIN lesions at 5 weeks after induction
• mice treated with dox 72 hours prior to induction of pancreatitis also show reversion of PanINs when dox is removed for 2 weeks

homeostasis/metabolism
• adult mice treated with dox 72 hours prior to injection with the cholecystokinin analog cerulein to induce acute pancreatitis show impaired recovery from pancreatitis, showing acinar-ductal metaplasia with progressive accumulation of fibrotic stroma at 1 week after induction, replacement of the whole pancreatic parenchyma with ductal structures and signs of PanINs at 3 weeks after induction, and low- and high-grade PanIN lesions interspersed with areas of carcinoma in situ at 5 weeks after induction compared to adult mice without dox which show completely resolved damage
• mice kept on dox for 5 weeks prior to induction of pancreatitis and then dox removal for 2 weeks show incomplete repair process resulting in a small, fibrotic pancreas with fewer acini; after 5 weeks of dox removal, no PanINs are observed however, the pancreas appears fibrotic and is small

endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice kept on dox for 5 weeks following pancreatitis induction show an increase in apoptotic cells and small pancreas size upon removal of dox
