Genotype | Clinical outcome | Number of mice in group | Number of mice with cancer |
---|---|---|---|
Cyp1(+/+) | Healthy | 16 | 0 |
Cyp1a1(−/−) | Adenocarcinoma of PSI | 16 | 13 (P <0.001) |
Cyp1b1(−/−) | Healthy | 16 | 0 |
Cyp1a1/1b1(−/−) | Squamous cell carcinoma of PGD | 16 | 11 (P <0.001)† |
PSI, proximal small intestine; PGD, preputial gland duct. In these studies we did not include females, in which the clitoral gland is the equivalent of the preputial gland. Statistical values were calculated by chi-square analysis and Student’s two-tailed t-test.
One mouse of this genotype showed a micro adenoma of the PSI that was found to express high IgG and IgM levels.
