mortality/aging
• mice with a maternally inherited cre transgene die before weaning
• however, mice with a paternally inherited cre transgene are viable
|
neoplasm
• mice with a paternally inherited cre transgene develop tumors following chronic exposure to 125 J/m2 UVB unlike control mice
• tumors appear earlier and grow faster in mice with a paternally inherited cre transgene compared to control mice receiving a 16-fold higher dose of UVB
• the cumulative UVB EC50 for tumor development is 3.75 kJ/m2 in mice with a paternally inherited cre transgene compared to 140 kJ/m2control mice
|
growth/size/body
• mice with a maternally inherited cre transgene are severely runted at birth
|
liver/biliary system
• mice with a maternally inherited cre transgene develop premature polyploidy in hepatocytes
|
integument
• the minimal erythemal dose of UVB is 40 J/m2 in mice with a paternally inherited cre transgene compared to 900 J/m2 in controls
• in mice with a paternally inherited cre transgene sensitivity to UVB induced changes in the epidermis (hyperplasia, hypertrophy, hypergranulosis, and hyperkeratosis) are increased
