mortality/aging
• median survival is 485 days of age
|
neoplasm
• 83.3% of mice show metastatic dissemination, commonly to the lung and liver
|
• mutants develop osteosarcoma with a mean latency of 485 days
• 66.7% of tumors are in the long bones, 16.7% of tumors are found in the mandible/head, and 16.7% of tumors are in other axial locations
• osteosarcoma is characterized by a uniform heavily mineralized osteoblastic (well differentiated) appearance in both primary and metastatic sites and osteosarcomas fail to become adipogenic under inductive conditions, indicating a cell population that is osteoblast restricted
• tumors resemble human osteoblastic osteosarcoma
