• double homozygous MEFs treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen to induce Cre mediated recombination proliferate less efficiently compared to untreated double homozygous MEFs

hematopoietic system
small spleen
(
J:98944
)
• about a 20% decrease in spleen size is seen in 6 month old double homozygous treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen at 10 days of age
|
• removal of 0.8 ml of blood from 6 month old double homozygous treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen at 10 days of age resulted in a smaller increase in spleen size and in the splenic erythroid compartment compared to controls

small spleen

• about a 20% decrease in spleen size is seen in 6 month old double homozygous treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen at 10 days of age

neoplasm
• treatment with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen 2 weeks after treatment with 7,12 dimethyl-benzanthracene (DMBA) and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) results in fewer and smaller papillomas compared to mice that were mot treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen
• however, treatment with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen for 20 weeks before treatment with DMBA and TPA had no effect on tumor incidence, size, or pathological appearance compared to mice that were not treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen

homeostasis/metabolism
• treatment with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen 2 weeks after treatment with 7,12 dimethyl-benzanthracene (DMBA) and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) results in fewer and smaller papillomas compared to mice that were mot treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen
• however, treatment with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen for 20 weeks before treatment with DMBA and TPA had no effect on tumor incidence, size, or pathological appearance compared to mice that were not treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen
|
• 6 month old double homozygous treated with 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen at 10 days of age take 12 days to fully heal compared to 9 days for control mice; however at 10 weeks of age no difference was seen in wound healing or liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (not done in 6 month old mice)
