neoplasm
• 25% of mice treated with the carcinogen AOM and DSS develop colitis-associated cancer as compared to 100% incidence in wild-type mice
• in addition, average tumor size and cell proliferation is decreased as compared to wild-type
• mice treated with 3.5% DSS exhibit less body weight loss, and reduced colon shortening, fewer incidences of bloody stool, rectal bleeding and anal prolapse than wild-type mice
• treated mice exhibit less colonic mucosal damage as compared to wild-type
• treated mice have decreased intestinal cell proliferation, decreased levels of IL6, TNFA and IL17, and decreased secretion of IL6, TNFA and IL17 as compared to wild-type

immune system
• mice transplanted with Lewis lung carcinoma cells exhibit smaller tumors than wild-type and decreased proliferation
• decreased tumor growth is observed when mice are transplanted with B16 melanoma cells
