mortality/aging
• mutants have a median survival of 401 days
|
neoplasm
• 85.72% of mice show metastatic dissemination, commonly to the lung and liver
• high degrees of mineralization are apparent in primary and metastatic lesions
|
• mutants develop osteosarcoma with a mean latency of 401 days
• 42.9% of tumors are found on the lower long bones, 42.9% of tumors are found on the mandible/head, and 14.3% 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
• osteosarcomas exhibit clonal cytogenic abnormalities and karyotypic complexity; most frequent changes are recurrent gains of chromosomes 14 and 15 and loss of chromosomes 3, 7, and 12, as well as inter-chromosomal rearrangement involving chromosomes 6, 8, and 15
• however, nonosteoblastic lineage sarcomas or hibernomas are not seen in mutants
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increase in serum alkaline phosphatase levels
|
skeleton
