mortality/aging
• mice do not live longer than 11 weeks
• treatment of mice with RANK-Fc prolongs survival to around to around 13.3 weeks
|
neoplasm
• mice develop osteosarcoma within 6.3 weeks of age
• tumors are marked by high (TNFSF11) RANKL/low (TNFRSF11A) RANK levels
• treatment of mice with RANK-Fc starting at 2.4 weeks of age suppresses tumor growth
• mice develop tumors 4.3 weeks after the discontinuation of RANK-Fc treatment and large numbers of osteoclasts are seen lining the boundary of tumor cells and adjacent osteopetrotic bone
