mortality/aging
• female mice die at less than 4 months of age roughly 2 months after their first pregnancy

endocrine/exocrine glands
• involution is abolished and only a mild decrease in alveolar size is observed postparturition
• mice develop large mammary tumors with lung metastases in 2 of 7 mice regardless of pregnancy status and gender
• tumors are poorly differentiated with extensive hemorrhages, necrosis and codominant histology
• tumors are transplantable with shorter latency than tumors with only one of the transgenes expressing
• mice exhibit increased mammary gland hyperplasia compared to wild-type females or females carrying only one of the transgenes
• female mice do not lactate

endocrine/exocrine glands
• apoptosis in the mammary gland does not decrease with age
• ductal cell proliferation rates are higher than in wild-type mice but equivalent to lobule proliferation rates
• lobules contain more cells than in wild-type mice
• cell proliferation rates within tumors is greater than in hyperplastic mammary tissues
• cell proliferation within lobules is increased after 16 weeks of age compared to wild-type mice
• unlike wild-type mice, proliferation rates remain high as mice age
• mice exhibit increased number and size of hyperplastic areas compared to wild-type mice
• cell proliferation of normal cells in tumor containing glands is increased compared to non-tumor containing glands

mortality/aging
• female mice die by 8 months of age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• female mice exhibit enlarged and hyperplastic alveoli at day 14 of pregnancy with poorly differentiated epithelium and numerous dead cells
• female mice develop mammary gland tumors and die by 8 months of age
• female mice develop solid carcinomas and few glandular/microcystic or papillary adenocarcinomas
• 42% of tumors are mixed glandular and solid or glandular and papillary
• lung metastasis occurs in 3 of 14 mice and tumors are transplantable
• however, virgin females do not develop mammary gland tumors
• few tumors are adenocarcinomas
• female mice do not lactate
