ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mice with a targeted disruption of Lkb1 die at midgestation, with the embryos showing neural tube defects, mesenchymal cell death and deregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression
  • Lkb1 (+/-) mice develop hamartomatous polyps in the glandular stomach
  • Lkb1(-/-) mice died in utero between 8.5 and 9.5 days postcoitum with developmental retardation and multiple gastric adenomatous polyps
  • in somatically activatable mutant Kras- driven model of mouse lung cancer, pulmonary tumorigenesis was accelerated by hemizygous inactivation of Lkb1 (STK11)
  • LKB1-deficient murine embryonic fibroblasts show nearly complete loss of Thr-172 phosphorylation and downstream AMPK signaling in response to a variety of stimuli that activate AMPK (
  • deletion of LKB1 in liver of adult mice result in a loss of AMPK activityand hyperglycemia with increased gluconeogenic and lipogenic gene expression
  • LKB1-KO mice displayed biatrial enlargement with atrial fibrillation and cardiac dysfunction at 4 weeks of age
  • deletion of Stk11 gene in mice caused increased haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) division, rapid HSC depletion and pancytopenia (
  • Lkb1-deficient haematopoietic stem cell have reduced mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP levels, exhibit defects in centrosomes and mitotic spindles in culture, and become aneuploid (
  • Lkb1 inactivation in adult mice causes loss of haematopoietic stem cell quiescence followed by rapid depletion of all haematopoietic subpopulations (
  • Lkb1-deficient bone marrow cells exhibit mitochondrial defects, alterations in lipid and nucleotide metabolism, and depletion of cellular ATP (
  • ablation of Lkb1 in adult mice results in severe pancytopenia and subsequent lethality (
