Phenotypes associated with this allele
mortality/aging
|
• mice die between 2 and 14 days after birth probably due to multisystem organ failure secondary to inflammation and necrosis
• genotype demonstrates inflammatory disease of the conditional allele does not require presence of wild-type allele
|
immune system
|
• mice have pronounced leukocytic infiltrates in skin, liver, spleen, joint, sinus, conjunctiva, bone marrow, and tongue that are mainly neutrophilic
|
mortality/aging
N |
• postnatal lethality does not occur to mice on a IL-1 receptor null background
|
immune system
|
• variable skin inflammation is observed
|
integument
|
• variable skin inflammation is observed
|
normal phenotype
|
• mice appear phenotypically normal and do not develop the inflammatory disease that conditional heterozygotes develop on an intact Pycard background
|
mortality/aging
|
• mice die between 2 and 14 days after birth probably due to multisystem
organ failure secondary to inflammation and necrosis
• 70% of mice die between 7-14 days
• absence of B and T cells demonstrates disease is not caused by the adaptive immune system
|
growth/size/body
|
• mutant pups gained weight slowly, and then lost weight before dying
|
immune system
hematopoietic system
integument
|
• 1-2 day old mice have skin abscesses that develop into erythema and scaly skin by day 4

growth/size/body
|
• mutant pups gained weight slowly, and then lost weight before dying
|
digestive/alimentary system
|
• substantial necrosis occurs in the gut that is not associated with inflammation
|
renal/urinary system
|
• substantial necrosis occurs in the kidney that is not associated with inflammation
|
immune system
|
• white blood cell count is mildly elevated
|
|
• pronounced neutrophilia is evident in these mice
|
|
• GCSF is elevated in the sera of 6-8 day old mice
|
|
• CXCL1 levels are elevated in the sera of mice 6-8 days old
|
|
• IL-1beta levels in the sera of 6-8 day old mice are elevated 3-fold
• levels of this cytokine are also elevated in the dermis and epidermis, which may contribute to the skin pathology
|
|
• IL-18 levels are elevated in the sera of 6-8 day old mice
|
|
• IL-6 levels are elevated in the sera of 6-8 day old mice
• levels of this cytokine are also elevated in the dermis and epidermis, which may contribute to the skin pathology
|
|
• TNF levels in the sera of 6-8 day old mice are elevated
|

|
immune system
|
• peritoneal macrophages are able to secrete IL-1beta in the absence of ATP when activated in vitro
|
|
• bone marrow derived dendritic cells hypersecrete the mature form of IL-1beta in response to activation
• the maximal response is 300-fold greater than controls
• DCs are able to secrete IL1-beta without the presence of exogenous ATP
|
|
• mutant DCs cells have an enhanced ability to stimulate T cells to differentiate into a Th17 subtypes when presenting cognate antigen
• mutant DCs also enhance Th1 and Th2 differentation when co-cultured with T cells in the presence of polarizing cytokines
