mortality/aging
|
• 3.8% of homozygotes exhibit fatal abnormalities at ~2 weeks of age
• however, the remaining ~96% are healthy and of normal weight, with no obvious differences in breeding, feeding, and social activity up to >30 months of age
|
growth/size/body
|
• at ~2 weeks of age, 3.8% of homozygotes display a reduced body weight that is one-third of that observed in wild-type mice
|
vision/eye
|
• 3.8% of homozygotes exhibit defective eyelid opening
|
neoplasm
|
• in a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model, where tumor formation is initiated with DMBA (100 g) and promoted by repeated topical applications of TPA (10 g) once a week for 20 weeks, homozygotes are significantly more susceptible to papilloma formation than wild-type and heterozygous control mice
• however, tumor formation is not enhanced by DMBA or TPA treatment alone
|
|
• in a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model, homozygotes develop papillomas at 8 weeks of TPA promotion with a tumor incidence of 78% and 4.3 tumors/mouse at 20 weeks of promotion, whereas wild-type and heterozygous control mice develop papillomas at ~10 weeks of promotion and display both reduced tumor incidences (22% and 17%, respectively) and fewer tumors (0.39 and 0.28 tumor/mouse, respectively) at 20 weeks of promotion
|
homeostasis/metabolism
integument
|
• after a single topical application of TPA (10 g), homozygotes exhibit prolonged epidermal hyperplasia that lasts up to 10 days, whereas in wild-type mice epidermal thickness returns to basal levels within 7 days of TPA treatment
|
|
• in a two-stage skin carcinogenesis model, homozygotes develop papillomas at 8 weeks of TPA promotion with a tumor incidence of 78% and 4.3 tumors/mouse at 20 weeks of promotion, whereas wild-type and heterozygous control mice develop papillomas at ~10 weeks of promotion and display both reduced tumor incidences (22% and 17%, respectively) and fewer tumors (0.39 and 0.28 tumor/mouse, respectively) at 20 weeks of promotion
