neoplasm
• mice fed doxycycline develop tumors in all mammary glands within 10 weeks of induction, with a median latency between 6 and 8 weeks
• removal of doxycycline results in apoptosis and reduced proliferation of tumors
• after doxycycline withdrawal, tumors become smaller within 5-7 days of withdrawal, however, none of the palpable tumors regress completely after 3 weeks and begin to regrow within 3-6 weeks

neoplasm
• chronically doxycycline induced females develop mammary tumors with high penetrance (86%) following an average of 22 weeks of induction (J:67498)
• mice fed doxycycline after weaning develop solitary mammary tumors with a median latency of 26 weeks after induction (J:133578)
• mammary tumors in chronically doxycycline induced females are invasive mammary adenocarcinomas
• withdrawal of doxycycline from chronically induced tumor-bearing mutants results in rapid regression of a subset of invasive mammary adenocarcinomas (14 days) but another subset of tumors decrease in size but then resume growth
• tumors that continue to grow after doxycycline removal show undetectable expression of the MYC transgene but increased endogenous Myc expression and exhibit mutations in Kras or Nras

integument
• mammary epithelium of mutants induced with doxycycline exhibits increased proliferation
• mammary glands of mutants induced with doxycycline for 4 months exhibit atypical lobuloalveolar growths (dysplasia)
• non-tumor bearing mammary glands of mutants induced with doxycycline for 30 weeks (chronically induced) exhibit numerous epithelial hyperplasts and dysplasts, however when doxycycline is withdrawn for 12 weeks, most epithelial ducts appear normal
• chronically doxycycline induced females develop mammary tumors with high penetrance (86%) following an average of 22 weeks of induction (J:67498)

neoplasm
• diffuse mammary hyperplasia is seen at 7 days after doxycycline administration, numerous tumor nodules are seen throughout the glandular tree at 14 days and confluent tumors are present at 21 days
• removal of doxycycline results in apoptosis and reduced proliferation of tumors
• after doxycycline withdrawal, almost all of the transformed mammary glands completely regress to a nonpalpable state within 2 weeks
• solitary mammary tumors develop after withdrawal of doxycycline in 20 of 36 mice at a median age of 53 weeks, indicating recurrent tumors
• in the absence of doxycycline, only one of 31 mice develop a mammary tumor
• tumor recurrence is associated with reactivation of oncogenic transgenes and somatic mutations in the rtTA transgene
