N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• shorter lifespan than wild-type mice, with mice beginning to die before 20 months of age and none surviving beyond 35 months of age

neoplasm
• about 50% of mice 2 years of age and older develop prostate tumors
• tumors include adenocarcinomas, sarcomatoid carcinomas (epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like epithelial tumor), and stromal-type tumors
• adenocarcinomas are composed primarily of luminal cells although small numbers of basal cells are seen close to the margins of the tumors

endocrine/exocrine glands
• about 50% of mice 2 years of age and older develop prostate tumors
• tumors include adenocarcinomas, sarcomatoid carcinomas (epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like epithelial tumor), and stromal-type tumors
• adenocarcinomas are composed primarily of luminal cells although small numbers of basal cells are seen close to the margins of the tumors

reproductive system
• about 50% of mice 2 years of age and older develop prostate tumors
• tumors include adenocarcinomas, sarcomatoid carcinomas (epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like epithelial tumor), and stromal-type tumors
• adenocarcinomas are composed primarily of luminal cells although small numbers of basal cells are seen close to the margins of the tumors

neoplasm
• by 5-6 months of age, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) lesions are observed in ventral prostate; cells in these foci display epithelial nuclear pleomorphism and loss of polarization
• number of lesions and cellular pleomorphism increase with mouse age; percentage of cells with nucleolomegaly increases with age

endocrine/exocrine glands
• basal cells are surrounded by abnormally accumulating luminal cells and become displaced away from the stromal cell compartment; direct contact between luminal cells and the basement membrane is observed by electron microscopy
• ratio of basal cells to total prostate epithelial cells is significantly decreased compared to controls
• epithelial compartment exhibits a small but significant increase in proportion of proliferating cells compared to controls
• by 5-6 months of age, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) lesions are observed in ventral prostate; cells in these foci display epithelial nuclear pleomorphism and loss of polarization
• number of lesions and cellular pleomorphism increase with mouse age; percentage of cells with nucleolomegaly increases with age
