mortality/aging
• survival time of double mutants is shorter than either single mutant, with mice dying by 16 weeks of age
|
reproductive system
• development of endometrial cancer is accelerated compared to either single mutant
|
• decrease in the number of apoptotic cells in the endothelium epithelium compared to single Pten mutants
• proliferation is increased in the endothelium epithelium
|
• mutants exhibit endometrial hyperplasia at 2 weeks of age and develop endometrial adenocarcinoma at 4 weeks of age
• however, myometrial hyperplasia is not observed in the uteri of mutants
|
• increase in uterine weight at 2 weeks of age, with weight at 4 weeks greater than in single Pten mutants
|
neoplasm
• mutants exhibit distant metastases into the ovary, diaphragmatic skeletal muscle, lymph node, colon and pancreas
|
• development of endometrial cancer is accelerated compared to either single mutant
