neoplasm
• tamoxifen treated mice show fewer and smaller colonic tumors that develop more slowly and have a lower proliferation rate than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• however, prolonged antibiotic treatment of tamoxifen treated mice induces numerous intestinal tumor foci and tamoxifen treated mice administered anti-CD8 antibodies to induce partial depletion of Treg show increased tumor development

digestive/alimentary system
• abnormal accumulation of granules of mucus in goblet cells in the tumor-free mucosa of tamoxifen treated mice
• unusually small in tumor-free mucosa of tamoxifen treated mice
• tamoxifen treated mice show fewer and smaller colonic tumors that develop more slowly and have a lower proliferation rate than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• however, prolonged antibiotic treatment of tamoxifen treated mice induces numerous intestinal tumor foci and tamoxifen treated mice administered anti-CD8 antibodies to induce partial depletion of Treg show increased tumor development
• tamoxifen treated mice show altered distribution of gut bacteria, with bacteria occasionally seen within the crypt compartment of the small intestine
• tamoxifen treated mice show a difference in the overall composition of both fecal and ileal microbiota compared to single conditional Apc heterozygotes, with mice showing a high level of Gram+ bacteria related to Firmicutes and low levels of Proteobacteria in feces
• ileal mucosa of tamoxifen treated mice has a higher bacterial diversity than single conditional Apc heterozygotes
• intestinal permeability is high in tamoxifen treated mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
• unusually small in tumor-free mucosa of tamoxifen treated mice

hematopoietic system
• proportion of CD103+CD11b- dendritic cell subset involved in T-cell priming is higher in tamoxifen treated mice than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• the number of Treg and CD8 IFN-gamma T cells in the lamina propria is higher than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• administration of IL-1beta receptor antagonist, anakinra, to tamoxifen treated mice is sufficient to prevent the expansion of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells
• the number of Treg and CD8 IFN-gamma T cells in the lamina propria is higher than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice

immune system
• proportion of CD103+CD11b- dendritic cell subset involved in T-cell priming is higher in tamoxifen treated mice than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• the number of Treg and CD8 IFN-gamma T cells in the lamina propria is higher than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• administration of IL-1beta receptor antagonist, anakinra, to tamoxifen treated mice is sufficient to prevent the expansion of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells
• the number of Treg and CD8 IFN-gamma T cells in the lamina propria is higher than in single conditional Apc heterozygous mice
• tamoxifen treated mice show marked infiltration of lymphocytes within the normal mucosa, higher numbers of CD45 and T cells in the small intestine and colon mucosa, influx of CD11c+ cells in the intestinal mucosa compared to single conditional Apc heterozygous mice, indicating promotion of anti-tumor immune responses
• immune cells isolated from the lamina propria of tamoxifen treated mice produce high amounts of IL-1beta
• immune cells isolated from the lamina propria of tamoxifen treated mice produce high amounts of IL-10

cellular
• abnormal accumulation of granules of mucus in goblet cells in the tumor-free mucosa of tamoxifen treated mice
