mortality/aging
• animals have greatly reduced life-span compared to mutants expressing wild-type Kras
|
neoplasm
• adenocarcinomas show uniform high-grade dysplasia, including large, fused glands with serrated borders, pseudostratified epithelium, loss of apical-basal polarity, and high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio
• mice have more tumors than mutants expressing wild-type Kras
• terminally differentiated cells are absent from tumors
