N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• doxycyline(dox)-treated females are incapable of nursing their pups, leading to neonatal lethality

endocrine/exocrine glands
• dox-treated mammary glands exhibit an increase in mammary epithelial cell proliferation
• beta-casein is completely absent in dox-treated glands
• dox-treated mice show mammary stem cell expansion at the expense of differentiation, showing a 4-fold larger population of Lin-CD24+CD29high cells
• marker analysis of dox-treated mice indicates that differentiation of mammary epithelial cells is inhibited
• in vitro colony formation assay with purified CD24+CD29high cells from dox-treated mice shows that the number of primary colonies that form is similar to controls but the numbers of secondary, tertiary, and subsequent colonies are increased indicating increased mammary stem cell self-renewal
• basal progenitor cells from dox-treated mice grown on feeder cell layers show an increase in the number of solid basal colonies at the cost of acinar colonies indicating an inhibition of luminal differentiation or suppression of luminal cell colony formation
• dox-treated mammary glands fail to form alveoli and retain undifferentiated ductal structures at post-pregnancy 14.5 and lactation day 1
• marker analysis of dox-treated mice indicates that differentiation of mammary epithelial cells is inhibited
• dox-treated mammary glands fail to form alveoli and retain undifferentiated ductal structures at post-pregnancy 14.5 and lactation day 1
• dox-treated mice show mildly inhibited mammary branching and ductal elongation at 6 weeks of age, however by 10 weeks of age, these effects are no longer seen
• mammary glands of all dox-treated 12 week old mice show no tertiary branch development and varying defects in ductal elongation and branching, and the appearance of multiple terminal end bud-like structures
• dox-treated mice have thicker mammary ducts, characterized by an increase in cell layers, at 12 weeks of age
• dox-treated mammary glands fail to form alveoli and retain undifferentiated ductal structures at post-pregnancy 14.5 and lactation day 1
