mortality/aging
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 have a median survival of 153 days
|
growth/size/body
megacephaly
(
J:237990
)
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 begin to exhibit increasing macrocephaly at 2-3 months of age
|
behavior/neurological
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 begin to exhibit lethargy at 2-3 months of age
|
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 exhibit ataxia beginning at 2-3 months of age
|
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 exhibit seizures beginning at 2-3 months of age
|
nervous system
hydrocephaly
(
J:237990
)
• brains of mice treated with tamoxifen at birth show hydrocephalus
|
• brains of mice treated with tamoxifen at birth show dramatic increase in overall size, especially the cerebellum
|
• the perivascular hyperplastic lesions vary in size and are seen as early as 3 months of age, they grow surrounding CD34+ blood vessels and have a high percentage of Ki67+ cells
• organization of cell layers of the cerebellum are disrupted in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth
• cerebellum hypertrophy in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth
• cerebellum shows multiple perivascular proliferative niches in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth, composed of hyperchromatic cells with progenitor-like morphology
• lesions occur more frequently in anterior and lateral cerebellar lobules and in areas around the pia between lobules
|
• Purkinje cells are not well aligned at the interface of the internal granule layer and molecular layer in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth
|
• size of granule cells is larger in aging mice that were treated with tamoxifen at birth
|
• molecular layer is thickened with ectopic granule cells in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth
|
• the internal granule layer is thinner in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth
|
• molecular layer is thickened with ectopic granule cells in mice treated with tamoxifen at birth
|
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 begin to exhibit progressive neurologic abnormalities at 2-3 months of age
|
• mice injected with tamoxifen at P0 and P1 exhibit seizures beginning at 2-3 months of age
|
neoplasm
N |
• perivascular hyperplastic lesions in the cerebellum persist but do not develop into tumors up to 10 months of age
