cellular
• 28% of mitotic splenocytes show abnormal chromosome numbers

aneuploidy
(
J:293084
)
• MEFs show an elevation in aneuploidy
• aneuploidy is increased in livers and lungs, but not spleen
|
• MEFs and mitotic splenocytes exhibit premature chromatid separation
• MEFs exhibit small, but significant, increase in chromosome segregation errors; both spindle assembly checkpoint and attachment error correction machinery are impaired
• MEFs exhibit increased chromosome lagging, forming non-perpendicular spindles and elevated rates due to slow centrosome movement
|
• spindle assembly checkpoint is impaired in MEFs
|
• MEFs form non-perpendicular spindles
|
neoplasm
• DMBA-treated mice show no increase in lung tumor incidence, however, lung tumor size is increased
|
• although incidence and spectrum of spontaneous tumors are similar to wild-type, tumor latencies are reduced (770 days versus 886 days in wild-type mice)
• lymphomas which develop with reduced latencies contain more mitotic cells than lymphomas from wild-type mice
|
mortality/aging
N |
• mice show a strong trend toward reduced median lifespan that is close to reaching significance
• mice show no evidence of accelerated aging phenotypes
