neoplasm
• beginning at 6 months, mice develop intestinal tumors
• by 10 months, 50% of mice develop intestinal tumors
• mice develop fewer and larger tumors than in Msh2tm2.1Rak/Msh2tm3.1Wed Tg(Vil-cre)20Syr mice
• tumors do not respond to treatment with cisplatin or FOLFOX unlike tumors from Msh2tm2.1Rak/Msh2tm3.1Wed Tg(Vil-cre)20Syr mice

homeostasis/metabolism
• tumor cells exhibit increased microsatellite instability compared with wild-type cells
• tumors do not respond to treatment with cisplatin or FOLFOX unlike tumors from Msh2tm2.1Rak/Msh2tm3.1Wed Tg(Vil-cre)20Syr mice
• FOLFOX-treated intestinal mucosa exhibit decreased apoptosis compared with similarly treated cells from Msh2tm2.1Wed homozygotes and Msh2tm2.1Rak/Msh2tm3.1Wed Tg(Vil-cre)20Syr mice

cellular
• tumor cells exhibit increased microsatellite instability compared with wild-type cells

digestive/alimentary system
• beginning at 6 months, mice develop intestinal tumors
• by 10 months, 50% of mice develop intestinal tumors
