Kcne2tm1Gwab/Kcne2tm1Gwab mice have enlarged stomachs

digestive/alimentary system
• marked hyperplasia of the glandular stomach
• intracellular canaliculi are much larger and displace the mitochondria to the cell periphery
• however, no obvious abnormalities in the chief cells are detected
• gastric glandular hyperplasia with lengthening of the fundus and neck portions of the stomach
• hyperplastic glands are primarily lined with tall, columnar cells with excess cytoplasm that appear to be mucous neck and/or chief cells
• hyperplasia appears to only affect the non-acid secretory cell types
• mild to moderate numbers of neutrophils are seen scattered through the lamina propria basally, submucosa, and muscularis
• at 12 - 15 weeks of age about a 4-fold increase in stomach mass is seen
• enlarged stomachs have prominent rugal folds and marked hyperplasia of the glandular stomach
• mice display achlorhydria
• acid loaded parietal cells have a much lower rate of proton secretion, about 0.01 pH units/minute compared to about 0.1 units/minute in wild-type controls
• mean luminal pH in the stomach under basal conditions is 6.5 +/- 0.2 compared to 3.9 +/- 0.1 in wild-type controls
• luminal pH is not significantly altered by histamine, unlike in wild-type controls

homeostasis/metabolism
• marked elevation in serum gastrin levels

endocrine/exocrine glands
• intracellular canaliculi are much larger and displace the mitochondria to the cell periphery
• however, no obvious abnormalities in the chief cells are detected
• gastric glandular hyperplasia with lengthening of the fundus and neck portions of the stomach
• hyperplastic glands are primarily lined with tall, columnar cells with excess cytoplasm that appear to be mucous neck and/or chief cells
• hyperplasia appears to only affect the non-acid secretory cell types

• parietal and chief cell morphology appears similar to wild-type controls despite the decrease in stomach pH
• acid loaded parietal cells have a lower rate of proton secretion, about 0.05 pH units/minute compared to about 0.1 units/minute in wild-type controls
• mice display hypochlohydria
• mean luminal pH in the stomach under basal conditions is 4.6 +/- 0.2 compared to 3.9 +/- 0.1 in wild-type controls
• however, luminal pH is significantly altered by histamine similar to wild-type controls and unlike homozygous mice
