neoplasm
• mice show increased susceptibility to diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver carcinogenesis, with mice showing an increase in the number and size of tumors on the surface of the liver and liver tumors showing increased incidence of carcinomas
• however, de novo tumorigenesis is not significantly increased in mutants compared to wild-type mice
|
mortality/aging
• a trend of lower than expected number of female homozygous pups is seen
|
cellular
• mice exposed to DEN exhibit increased DNA damage but slightly decreased apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in the liver
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice show increased susceptibility to diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced liver carcinogenesis, with mice showing an increase in the number and size of tumors on the surface of the liver and liver tumors showing increased incidence of carcinomas
• however, de novo tumorigenesis is not significantly increased in mutants compared to wild-type mice
