mortality/aging
• median survival time of 19 weeks

neoplasm
• mice develop large, invasive tumors with androgen receptor (AR)-negative and poorly differentiated foci as early as 12 weeks
• these regions show little resemblance to conventional adenocarcinoma but are negative for neuroendocrine markers, potentially as a transition between conventional adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) states
• some foci are positive for neuroendocrine markers INSM1, EZH2, and NKX2-1 and some foci display condensed nuclei and scant cytoplasm, characteristic of NEPC morphology
• tumors also include other foci of divergent differentiation like intestinal and squamous, as well as conventional, AR+ adenocarcinoma, but the percentage of conventional adenocarcinoma decreases over time while the percentage of poorly differentiated histology increases over time
