mortality/aging
• moribund mice (20 of 38 mice) were euthanized within a 22 month period of observation during which no wild-type mice died
|
hematopoietic system
• 7.3-fold in moribund mice
|
• immature cells are found in the blood
• moribund mice have blasts in their blood, exhibit benign lymphoid and myeloid hyperplasia in the spleen and bone marrow and exhibit myeloid disease
|
• moribund mice exhibit myeloid hyperplasia in the spleen and bone marrow
|
• 7.2x103+/-1.2x103/uL compared to 3.9x103+/-1.0x103/uL in wild-type mice
• counts are higher in moribund mice (10.4x103+/-0.6x103uL compared to 2.4x103+/-0.2x103uL in wild-type)
|
• in moribund mice
|
• mice have the highest total number of lymphocytes
|
• pro-B cell colony forming units in vivo are significantly higher than in Mll1tm2Thr homozygotes and wild-type mice
|
neoplasm
• myeloproliferative disorders (MPD)-like myeloid leukemia was detected in one mouse
|
• in moribund mice
|
• 20 of 38 mice develop hematologic malignancies with a mean time to development of 520 days
• lymphoid malignancy affected the spleen, lymph nodes and often liver, lung, intestine or kidney but not the blood
