neoplasm
• only 50% of tamoxifen treated mice subjected to carcinogens DMBA and TPA formed papillomas after 12 weeks compared to 100% of untreated mice
• mice treated with DMBA and TPA and subsequently treated with tamoxifen after majority of papillomas had formed, showed a reduction in the malignant conversion of papillomas into squamous cell carcinoma (0.6% of papillomas formed carcinoma compared to 4.1% in controls and the 0.6% did not have Ptk2 excised by tamoxifen treatment)
|
• substantial reduction in the average number of papillomas formed per tamoxifen treated mouse at 22 weeks when compared to untreated controls
|
integument
• loss of normal cell cycle profiles and a substantial amount of cell death in tamoxifen treated primary keratinocytes
|
• tamoxifen treated primary keratinocytes were unable to repopulate denuded areas of wounded monolayers and displayed ~50% reduced migration rates, however saw no visible difference in punch biopsy would repair assays
