immune system
N |
• proliferating T cells fail to exhibit the same increase in spontaneous apoptosis observed in Brca2tm1Mak/Brca2tm2Mak Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice
|
• likely due to decreased apoptosis
|
neoplasm
• tumorigenesis is accelerated compared to in wild-type and Trp53tm1Brd/Trp53tm1Brd Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice but not compared to in Trp53tm1Brd homozygotes
|
• 90% of mice succumb to T-cell lymphomas compared to 70% of Trp53tm1Brd/Trp53tm1Brd Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice
|
• mice develop high grade malignancies
|
cellular
• T cells exhibit increased frequencies of chromatid or chromosomal breaks, tri-radial structures, and chromosomal fragments compared to in Brca2tm1Mak/Brca2tm2Mak Tg(Lck-cre)548Jxm mice or wild-type cells
|
• thymocytes are resistant to ionizing radiation-induced cell death unlike wild-type cells
• however, response to UV- or methyl methane sulfonate-induced cell death is normal
|
hematopoietic system
• likely due to decreased apoptosis
