mortality/aging
• cachexic animals become moribund rapidly and are euthanized; by 6 months, 50% mortality in mutants is observed

growth/size/body
• moribund animals show complete loss of visceral adipose tissue
• displayed by many animals at 4 months

immune system
N
• spleen and lymph nodes are not larger than controls despite T cell abnormalities
• higher frequency of granulocytes in spleen and lymph nodes is observed
• increase is detected in spleen and lymph nodes
• significant increase in frequency of activated (CD62Llo44hi) CD4+ T cells is observed in spleen and lymph nodes
• T lymphopenia in CD8+ compartment is observed
• total thymocyte number is decreased compared to controls at 6 weeks; reduced frequency of TCRbeta+ thymocytes with downregulated CD14 and CD69 is observed
• absolute number of mature thymocytes is significantly reduced
• absolute number of double positive (DP) thymocytes is significantly reduced compared to controls at 6 weeks
• significant reduction in frequency of mature CD8+ T cells is observed in periphery at 6 weeks
• mature peripheral T reg cells are reduced in frequency
• very high frequencies of interferon gamma- or IL-17A-secreting cells are observed; high frequency of interferon gamma/IL-17A double secreting cells is detected in moribund animals
• slight increase in frequency of interferon gamma- or IL-17A-secreting CD4+ T cells can be seen at 3 months
• regulatory T cells have reduced suppressive activity compared to controls; in vitro proliferation of stimulated CD25-CD4+ T cells is only partially suppressed
• deficient CD4+ T cells are capable of differentiating into Th1 or Th2 cells
• small foci of inflammatory cells are more prevalent than in controls
• infiltrating cells accumulate around most blood vessels in liver with additional foci in sinusoids
