Phenotypes associated with this allele
renal/urinary system
N |
• normal kidney size with fully developed glomeruli
|
|
• protein deposits in kidney tubules by age P28
|
homeostasis/metabolism
neoplasm
N |
• no kidney tumor development in mice up to 6 months old
|
mortality/aging
N |
• viable; live to at least 6 months
|
renal/urinary system
|
• small kidney in mice induced with doxycycline from E14.5 until the end of the experiment
• however, cap mesenchyme differentiates normally in doxycycline induced mutants
|
neoplasm
|
• all mice develop kidney tumors within the first 2 weeks of life following doxycycline (Dox) induction during embryonic development at E0, E14.5 or E18.5
• tumors resemble Wilms tumor
• mice treated with doxycycline at P10 do not develop tumors
|
renal/urinary system
|
• mice treated with doxycycline at P10 develop cystic kidneys
|
|
• all mice develop kidney tumors within the first 2 weeks of life following doxycycline (Dox) induction during embryonic development at E0, E14.5 or E18.5
• tumors resemble Wilms tumor
• mice treated with doxycycline at P10 do not develop tumors
|
|
• doxycycline induced mice exhibit persistent proliferation of cap mesenchyme cells in adults
• however, cap mesenchyme cells within tumors retain a differentiation capacity that recapitulates normal kidney development
|
|
• timing of kidney development is prolonged in doxycycline induced mice, with sustaining proliferation of the cap mesenchyme cells into adulthood
|
growth/size/body
|
• mice treated with doxycycline at P10 develop cystic kidneys
