mortality/aging
• gamma-irradiated mice exhibit a median survival of 423 days and a maximum survival of 550 compared with similarly treated mice that live beyond 600 days
• however, survival is improved compared with similarly treated Trp53 null mice
|
neoplasm
• in 56% of mice
|
• diffuse large B cell lymphoma in 18% of mice
|
• following gamma-irradiation
|
• 5 of 7 mice exhibit malignant fibrous histiocytomas with angiogenesis
|
• in one mouse exposed to gamma radiation
|
• in 6% of mice
|
• following gamma-irradiation, most mice develop B cell lymphomas, predominantly follicular lymphoma, composed of incorrectly differentiated B cells unlike wild-type mice
|
cellular
• B cells exposed to amsacrine fail to exhibit an increase in apoptosis compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• thymocytes exposed to gamma-irradiation or the topoisomerase 2 inhibitor amsacrine fail to exhibit an increase in apoptosis above background levels unlike similarly treated wild-type cells
• mice exposed to gamma-irradiation fail to exhibit an increase in apoptosis in the thymus and spleen unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, cell-cycle restriction induced by DNA damage is normal
|
• following gamma radiation, thymocytes fail to undergo apoptosis unlike wild-type cells
|
immune system
• following gamma radiation, thymocytes fail to undergo apoptosis unlike wild-type cells
|
• in 56% of mice
|
• in the bone marrow and spleen of aged mice
|
hematopoietic system
• following gamma radiation, thymocytes fail to undergo apoptosis unlike wild-type cells
|
• in 56% of mice
|
• in the bone marrow and spleen of aged mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• gamma-irradiated mice exhibit a median survival of 423 days and a maximum survival of 550 compared with similarly treated mice that live beyond 600 days
• however, survival is improved compared with similarly treated Trp53 null mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• following gamma radiation, thymocytes fail to undergo apoptosis unlike wild-type cells
|
• in 56% of mice
|
skeleton
• in 6% of mice
