reproductive system
• lack spermatogonia
• lack of primordial germ cells by E14.5 (early germ cell marker Mvh absent)
• primordial germ cells migrate to genital ridge but fail to proliferate normally between 11.5 and 14.5 dpc
• significantly smaller testes at 6 wks of age
• no sign of spermatogenesis detected at 2 wks of age, due to spermatogonia cell depletion
• absence of spermatids in seminiferous tubules
• absence of spermatocytes in seminiferous tubules
• both sexes are sterile

cellular
• absence of spermatids in seminiferous tubules
• absence of spermatocytes in seminiferous tubules
• lack spermatogonia
• lack of primordial germ cells by E14.5 (early germ cell marker Mvh absent)
• abnormal centrosome number (>2) in some mutant PGCs at 13.5 dpc
• abnormal centrosome number (>2) in some mutant PGCs at 13.5 dpc
• abnormal metaphase configuration of mutant PGCs at 13.5 dpc
• precocious sister chromatid separation and arrest of PGCs in mitosis due to spindle checkpoint activation
• significantly higher mitotic indices in mutant PGCs than controls at 12.5, 13.5, and 14.5 dpc
• primordial germ cells migrate to genital ridge but fail to proliferate normally between 11.5 and 14.5 dpc

embryo
• higher levels of activated caspase-3, p53, and Bax in extracts of 13.5 dpc mutant genital ridges than in controls, suggesting p53-related apoptosis of mutant PGCs

mortality/aging
• median survival of 118 day

neoplasm
• increased levels of proliferation and DNA damage are seen in lung tissue affected by lymphoma
• lymphomas are more aggressive and most commonly infiltrate the lungs, liver and spleen with less frequent infiltration of the colon and kidney
• develop aggressive and widespread lymphomas involving the lung, liver, thymus, bone marrow and peripheral blood with a significantly reduced latency compared to mice null for Trp53 alone
• about 86% of mice develop lymphomas
• seldom localized to the thymus
• most commonly infiltrate the lungs, liver and spleen with less frequent infiltration of the colon and kidney
• lymphoma cells often completely deplete the lungs, liver and spleen completely obscuring the normal anatomy of these tissues
• significant invasion of the bone marrow is seen
• develop carcinomas in various organs with a significantly reduced latency compared to mice null for Trp53 alone

hematopoietic system
• in pre-neoplastic splenocytes
• accumulation of aneuploidy in splenocytes is seen as early as 2.5 months of age
• increased proliferation in pre-neoplastic bone marrow cells
