mortality/aging
• mice injected with adenovirus expressing Cre (AdCre) into the bladder at 2-3 months of age start to die at 6 months of age and have a median survival of 10.2 months
• mice injected with AdCre intraperitoneally exhibit a median survival of 8.5 months and 89% of mice die during one year of follow-up after AdCre injection
|
neoplasm
• 73% of mice injected with AdCre into the bladder exhibit mesothelioma
• 85% of mice injected with AdCre intraperitoneally develop mesothelioma
• malignant tumor, similar to epithelioid mesothelioma, is seen on all peritoneal surfaces, including the bladder, kidney, spleen, liver and intestines, without evidence of a primary site, in mice injected with AdCre
• mice that develop mesothelioma following AdCre injection and are treated with rapamycin for 5 weeks show inhibition of tumor growth
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice injected with AdCre into the bladder often exhibit hemorrhagic ascites
