mortality/aging
• survival is shorter than either single conditional mutant; mice can survive up to 32 weeks but most have to be euthanized at 24-26 weeks of age
|
neoplasm
• all mice develop pancreatic neoplasms between 16 and 24 weeks
• 100% of mice exhibit large cystic pancreata which are mucinous cystadenomas, characterized by the presence of unilocular megacystic lesions with mucoid/watery cyst content, and nodules or peripheral calcification on the cyst wall resembling human mucinous cystic neoplasm
• mucinous cystic neoplasms become malignant pancreatic cancer with nuclear anaplastic features, and show stomach, duodenal or intestinal invasion or liver or lung metastasis, consistent with aggressive pancreatic cystic adenocarcinoma
• 6 week old mice treated with the Wnt inhibitor IWP-2 for 12 weeks show a reduction of or absence of hypertrophic pancreas with cysts
|
• tumors exhibit a high incidence of metastasis and invasion
|
• 100% of mice exhibit large cystic pancreata which are mucinous cystadenomas
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• all mice develop pancreatic neoplasms between 16 and 24 weeks
• 100% of mice exhibit large cystic pancreata which are mucinous cystadenomas, characterized by the presence of unilocular megacystic lesions with mucoid/watery cyst content, and nodules or peripheral calcification on the cyst wall resembling human mucinous cystic neoplasm
• mucinous cystic neoplasms become malignant pancreatic cancer with nuclear anaplastic features, and show stomach, duodenal or intestinal invasion or liver or lung metastasis, consistent with aggressive pancreatic cystic adenocarcinoma
• 6 week old mice treated with the Wnt inhibitor IWP-2 for 12 weeks show a reduction of or absence of hypertrophic pancreas with cysts
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• cystic fluid of the pancreata shows the induction of the following cytokines: FasL, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1, IL-1beta, IL-6, macrophage inflammatory protein 1gamma, keratinocyte chemoattractant and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1
|
immune system
• cystic fluid of the pancreata shows the induction of the following cytokines: FasL, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1, IL-1beta, IL-6, macrophage inflammatory protein 1gamma, keratinocyte chemoattractant and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1
