neoplasm
• mutants are more prone to spontaneous tumors than wild-type and Cdkn2atm2.1Rdp mice but less than Cdkn2atm1Rdp mice
|
• DMBA treatment results in the development of lymphoma, spindle cell tumors and lung tumors
|
• 33% of spontaneous tumors that form are lymphocytic lymphomas of the thymus and/or lymph nodes
• 60% of DMBA-induced tumors are lymphocytic lymphomas
|
• 12% of spontaneous tumors that form in mutants are lung carcinomas
• 15% of DMBA-induced tumors are lung carcinomas; these tumors are larger are more likely to cause morbidity than in wild-type
|
• 30% of spontaneous tumors that form in mutants are malignant spindle cell neoplasms, most likely soft tissue sarcomas
• 15% of DMBA-induced tumors are malignant spindle cell neoplasms
|
• 9% of spontaneous tumors that form in mutants are osteosarcomas
• 3 of 6 mice with hind-limb paralysis showed osteosarcoma of the spine
|
behavior/neurological
• a few mice show hind-limb paralysis and seizures, however no glial tumors
|
cellular
• MEFs are susceptible to oncogenic transformation, show enhanced subcloning efficiency at low density, and resist both RAS- and culture-induced growth arrest
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• DMBA treatment results in the development of lymphoma, spindle cell tumors and lung tumors
|
nervous system
respiratory system
• 12% of spontaneous tumors that form in mutants are lung carcinomas
• 15% of DMBA-induced tumors are lung carcinomas; these tumors are larger are more likely to cause morbidity than in wild-type
