homeostasis/metabolism
• mice show a defect in glucose-dependent insulin secretion that leads to early-onset, mild and moderately progressive diabetes
• mice subjected to hyperglycemic clamps require an approximate 50% lower rate of glucose infusion to maintain steady-state hyperglycemia
• mice are impaired in secreting insulin in response to the ATP-dependent K-channel blocker, glibenclamide, and to the depolarizing agent, I-arginine
• beta cells exhibit reduced calcium-dependent insulin secretion
• purified islets show lower insulin secretion in response to the sulfonylurea glibenclamide, the PKC activator PMA, and the L-type Ca channel activator Bay-K8644
• mice exhibit hyperglycemia in the fasted, refed, and random-fed states as early as 12 weeks of age
• mice exhibit lower plasma insulin levels in fasted, refed, and random-fed states, although not significant in the latter state
• mice show impaired glucose tolerance that worsens progressively with age during intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests, without changes to peripheral insulin sensitivity

endocrine/exocrine glands
• as mice age to 12 months, beta cell dedifferentiation occurs
• beta cells are metabolically inflexible such that they preferentially utilize lipids rather than carbohydrates as an energy source resulting in impaired ATP generation and reduced calcium-dependent insulin secretion
• glucose oxidation to carbon dioxide is impaired by about 50% in islets at most glucose concentrations
• palmitate oxidation by islets in the presence of basal glucose is 2-fold higher and nearly 2.5-fold higher in high glucose
• glycerolipid synthesis of islets is normal at low glucose concentrations but fails to increase at elevated glucose concentrations, resulting in lower conversion of palmitate into diacylglycerides and triglycerides indicating that beta cells appear to be locked in a lipid oxidative state
• membrane depolarization-induced calcium influx in response to rising glucose concentrations is lower in beta cells
• mice are impaired in secreting insulin in response to the ATP-dependent K-channel blocker, glibenclamide, and to the depolarizing agent, I-arginine
• beta cells exhibit reduced calcium-dependent insulin secretion
• purified islets show lower insulin secretion in response to the sulfonylurea glibenclamide, the PKC activator PMA, and the L-type Ca channel activator Bay-K8644

cellular
• as mice age to 12 months, beta cell dedifferentiation occurs
• islets show a decrease in glucose-induced oxygen consumption
• raising glucose levels does not increase ATP turnover in purified islets as in control islets

mortality/aging
• development of hemangiomas leads to premature death starting to significant levels at ~50 weeks of age with induced cre expression

neoplasm
• mice develop an age-progressive hamarotomatous phenotype with cre expression
• females display mild hemangiomas, most exaggerated in the uterus and occasionally other tissues by 6-8 weeks after induction of cre expression with poly(I:C)
• discrete liver hemangiomas and occasionally angiosarcomas are observed in aged mice (5/7 in mice that died at 58-86 weeks and 2/2 examined at 96-98 weeks)
• in ~9% of mice, lesions progress to lethal angiosarcomas

liver/biliary system
• discrete liver hemangiomas and occasionally angiosarcomas are observed in aged mice (5/7 in mice that died at 58-86 weeks and 2/2 examined at 96-98 weeks)

mortality/aging
• induced mice start to show significant mortality starting at ~22 weeks with ~90% mortality by 75 weeks of age

neoplasm
• by 19-30 weeks, after cre induction, mice develop aggressive CD8+ CD4+ thymic lymphomas that spread to the spleen, lymph nodes and liver
• wild-type mice and all other conditional genotypes examined here do not show any lymphomas up to 100 weeks of age
• mice develop an age-progressive hamarotomatous phenotype with cre expression
• mice show widespread development of hemangiomas, most exaggerated in uterus and visible by 6-8 weeks
• lesions (usually benign) progress greatly by 30-40 weeks, with affected animals showing massive hemangiomas with intraluminal blood and thrombi in skeletal muscle, abdominal wall, liver, adrenal glands, bone marrow, omentum, lymph nodes, and skin
• in ~9% of mice, lesions progress to lethal angiosarcomas
