• mice develop a tumor within the skull between 3 and 6 months of age; tumors are found primarily in the brain parenchyma, but also in the choroid plexus and orbit
|
• tumors show characteristic nests of polygonal cells with an open chromatin pattern, surrounded by neatly arcading capillary and larger vascular channels, resembling alveolar soft part sarcoma
• tumors often arise in or near the leptomeninges, along sulci
• some tumors show aggressive invasive growth, with extensions of tumor cells into the cerebellum, cerebrum, and the vessels of the choroid plexus
• mice do not develop tumors in the skeletal muscle
• tumors form in the areas highest in lactate, the cranial vault, express high levels of lactate importers, have abundant mitochondria, metabolize lactate as a metabolic substrate, and respond to exogenous lactate administration with increased cell proliferation and angiogenesis

• an increase in cell proliferation is seen in kidney tubules of 6-week old offspring from pregnant females injected with tamoxifen at E17.5
• from P15 to P20, an increase in cell proliferation in the renal medulla is seen the offspring of females injected with tamoxifen at E17.5

|
• kidney primary cilia are stunted and show accumulation of IFT88 protein in bulb-like structures at the distal tips in the offspring of E17.5 pregnant females injected with tamoxifen

|
• when E17.5 pregnant females are injected intraperitoneally with tamoxifen to induce ubiquitous deletion of Ttc21b, the 6 week old offspring develop cystic kidney disease
• cysts seen in the offspring of E17.5 pregnant females injected with tamoxifen originate from proximal tubules, loops of Henle, and collecting ducts
• 5 week old mice injected intraperitoneally with tamoxifen do not develop kidney cysts after 3 months
• kidneys from offspring of E17.5 pregnant females grown in culture in the presence of 8-bromo-cAMP exhibit increased cystogenic potential and treatment of these cultures with Gant61, a small molecule GLI antagonist, or Sant2, a small molecule SMO antagonist, inhibitors reduces cystogenic potential

• following tamoxifen-treatment, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibit random migration in response to an HMGB1 gradient unlike wild-type cells
|
• 30 to 60 minutes after exposure to HMGB1, tamoxifen-treated MEFs exhibit reduced migration velocity compared with wild-type mice
|
• following tamoxifen-treatment, MEFs exhibit impaired chemotaxis in response to HMGB1 compared with wild-type cells
• however, chemotaxis in response to PDGF is normal and chemotaxis is rescued by over expression of Nfkb2
