Rxratm4Ipc/Rxratm4Ipc Rxrbtm1Pcn/Rxrbtm1Pcn Tg(KRT14-cre/ERT2)1Ipc/0 mice develop a chronic skin inflammation

immune system
• after weeks 2-8, mutants develop progressive splenomegaly
• mutant ears display reddening, swelling and scaling at week 2; by week 24, all mutants have swollen and red ears and 60% have developed ulcerations and crusts in the ear
• total WBC counts are 24500 cells in mutants compared to 9700 cells in controls; eosinophils and neutrophils are increased relative to control
• mutants display hyperplasia of regional lymph nodes
• at weeks 2 and 24, cervical lymph nodes are enlarged 2- and 10-fold respectively
• adult mice develop a spontaneous dermatitis that occurs predominantly on and behind the ears, on the face, and in the neck and back regions

hematopoietic system
• after weeks 2-8, mutants develop progressive splenomegaly
• total WBC counts are 24500 cells in mutants compared to 9700 cells in controls; eosinophils and neutrophils are increased relative to control

liver/biliary system
• at week 20, 50% of mutants have livers that are enlarged up to 2-fold

hearing/vestibular/ear
• mutant ears display reddening, swelling and scaling at week 2; by week 24, all mutants have swollen and red ears and 60% have developed ulcerations and crusts in the ear

integument
• adult mice develop a spontaneous dermatitis that occurs predominantly on and behind the ears, on the face, and in the neck and back regions
• mutants display progressive alopecia that is obvious by 6 weeks after Tamoxifen administration at 6 weeks of age
• infiltrated cells and dilated blood vessels are present in the dermis; by week 24, there is heavy dermal infiltrate in mutant ears
• at week 2, ear and dorsal skin biopsies show epidermal hyperplasia; at week 12. ears exhibit high epidermal hyperplasia
• at week 6-8, mice exhibit dry skin on the trunk
• at week 6-8, mice exhibit scaly skin on the trunk
• at week 6-8, small lesions are macroscopically visible on the trunk

growth/size/body
• at week 20, 50% of mutants have livers that are enlarged up to 2-fold
• after weeks 2-8, mutants develop progressive splenomegaly

Rxratm1Ipc/Rxratm4Ipc Rxrbtm1Mma/Rxrbtm1Pcn Tg(KRT14-cre/ERT2)1Ipc/0 mice develop alopecia but no skin inflammation while Rxratm4Ipc/Rxratm4Ipc Rxrbtm1Pcn/Rxrbtm1Pcn Tg(KRT14-cre/ERT2)1Ipc/0 mice show both hair loss and skin inflammation

immune system
• at week 12, IgG and IgE levels are 5- and 4-fold higher respectively in mutants compared to wild-type

integument
• mice develop early hair loss observed around the eyes and the dorsal skin at weeks 3 to 5
• phenotype of adult mutant epidermis is identical to that observed in Rargtm1Ipc newborns
• at week 5, mice show a dense dermal hyperplasia
• mutants show a weaker infiltration of the dermis
• in mutants neutral lipids are distributed unevenly along the cornified layer of the epidermis
• with treatment with the Ppard agonist L165041, epidermis of adult mice is similar to control mice with lipids forming a continuous ribbon on top of the cornified layer
• granular keratinocytes in mutants contain vesicles devoid of lamellae or with disorganized lamellae
• disorganized lamellae form aggregates at the apical pole of granular keratinocytes
• at week 5, mice show a dense dermal hyperplasia and hyperplasic epidermis

hematopoietic system
• at week 12, IgG and IgE levels are 5- and 4-fold higher respectively in mutants compared to wild-type
