• bone marrow cells transplanted into lethally irradiated recipients and treated with pIpC and tamoxifen results in death in a 100% of animals in a 440 day period
• in 33% of mice death is the result of myeloproliferative disorder (MPD)
• in 67% of mice death is the result of mixed myelodysplastic syndrome and myeloproliferative disorder (MDS/MPD)
• bone marrow cells from MDS/MPD or MPD primary transplants transplanted into sublethally irradiated secondary recipients results in 100% lethality due to acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show decreased survival, with onset of mortality as early as 5 days after induction
• mean survival is lower in males (10.6 days vs. 11.9 days) than in females following tamoxifen treatment
|
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice exhibit increased weight loss
• tamoxifen-treated mice surviving the acute injury phase show partial recovery from the nadir in body weight
|
|
• bilateral pulmonary infiltrates appear, accompanied by increases in BALF protein, peaking at days 7-14 after tamoxifen induction
|
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show onset of complex, multiphasic alveolitis
• bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from tamoxifen-treated mice shows increases in total cell counts beginning by day 8 and peaking 2 weeks after induction
• BALF shows a complex inflammatory cell prolife after tamoxifen induction, with an early and sustained macrophage accumulation beginning at 7 days, a spike in polymorphonuclear cells (on day 7), and transient alveolar eosinophilia (peak at 2 weeks), and an increase in total lymphocytes by day 7, indicating polycellular alveolitis and diffuse parenchymal damage
|
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice develop acute, diffuse lung injury, with time-dependent progression from patchy peribronchial cell infiltrates and interstitial expansion (7 days) to frank parenchymal injury (2 weeks)
• tamoxifen-treated mice show heterogenous parenchymal remodeling with mesenchymal accumulation of alpha-smooth muscle actin-positive cells adjacent to dilated airspaces lined by hyperplastic alveolar type 2 cells at 4-6 weeks after induction
|
|
• lungs show a 40% persistent increase in alveolar type 2 cell numbers beginning at 7 days after tamoxifen treatment
• however, no significant apoptosis of alveolar type 2 cells is seen after tamoxifen treatment
|
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice surviving the acute lung injury phase develop a fibrotic histological phenotype indicating spontaneous fibrotic lung remodeling
• mice show increased collagen deposition in peripheral lung parenchyma and subpleural regions beginning at 2 weeks after tamoxifen-induction
|
|
• pressure-volume curves at 4 and 6 weeks following tamoxifen treatment are shifted down (decreased volume with increased pressure) and to the right, with reduced static compliance, indicating restrictive lung physiology
• static compliance, maximally decreased at 4 weeks by 40%, mildly improves at week 6 after tamoxifen-treatment
|
|
• bilateral pulmonary infiltrates appear, accompanied by increases in BALF protein, peaking at days 7-14 after tamoxifen induction
|
|
• tamoxifen-treated mice show onset of complex, multiphasic alveolitis

|
|
• alveolar type II cell lysates from adult mice administered intraperitoneal tamoxifen show an increase in both LC3-II and p62, indicating a late block in macroautophagy, as early as 1 week after tamoxifen induction
