aneuploidy
(
J:231166
)
• dox-treated MEFs exhibit higher aneuploidy rates
• splenocytes from 5 month old dox-treated mice show about 4-fold higher rates of aneuploidy than control splenocytes
• lung tissues from 5 month old dox-treated mice are more aneuploid than control lung tissues
|
• dox-treated MEFs exhibit mitotic checkpoint defects
|
• dox-treated MEFs have higher rates of chromatin bridges and lagging chromosomes, indicating chromosomal segregation defects
• dox-treated MEFs exhibit increased incomplete centrosome separation
• MEFs treated with the PLK inhibitor BI2536 show restoration of normal centrosome separation
|
• dox-treated MEFs exhibit more frequent spindle geometry defects showing mitotic spindle asymmetry
|
neoplasm
• mice administered doxycycline (dox) beginning at weaning are prone to spontaneous tumors, particularly lung tumors, by 14 months of age, with 56% of mice having at least one neoplastic lesion compared to 21% of controls
