mortality/aging
|
• average life span 160 days
(J:72391)
• homozygous mutants die between ~50 to 250 days after birth
(J:95318)
|
|
• 90% succumb to tumors and die by 7 months of age
|
|
• 16.6% rather than the expected 25% of mutants are observed at weaning, indicating partial lethality either during embryogenesis or after birth but before weaning
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• 75% of observed tumors are thymic lymphomas
(J:87501)
• most lymphomas are thymic lymphomas
(J:17728)
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• irradiated E13.5 heterozygous embryos showed no evidence of apoptosis in the hypothalamus compared to wildtype and heterozygotes that showed a high number of apoptotic cells
|
|
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) show increased protein expression of IREB2 (iron responsive element binding protein 2; aka IRP2) and TFRC (transferrin receptor; aka TfR1) but reduced expression of ACO1 (aconitase 1; aka IRP1) and FTH1 (ferritin heavy polypeptide 1)
|
|
• Pearl's Prussian blue staining revealed mild iron overload in E8.0 embryos
• MEFs show mitochondrial iron accumulation
|
|
• MEFs show reduced protein levels of FDXR and CDKN1A (aka p21)
|
neoplasm
|
• predominantly lymphomas with sarcomas and teratomas
(J:17728)
|
|
• 3.3% incidence
|
|
• 70% incidence
(J:72391)
• 56% of homozygous nulls developed lymphomas
(J:95318)
• 71% of mice develop lymphoma, usually affecting the thymus
(J:17728)
|
|
• 75% of observed tumors are thymic lymphomas
(J:87501)
• most lymphomas are thymic lymphomas
(J:17728)

• 3.3% incidence
|
|
• 3.3% incidence of stomach squamous cell carcinoma
|
|
• 50% incidence
(J:72391)

cellular
aneuploidy
(
J:87501
)
|
• MEFs show mitochondrial iron accumulation
|
|
• irradiated E13.5 heterozygous embryos showed no evidence of apoptosis in the hypothalamus compared to wildtype and heterozygotes that showed a high number of apoptotic cells
|
|
• in mouse embryonic fibroblasts
|
|
• MEFs initially did not show any significant differences in growth rate but by day 4, grew more rapidly than wildtype or heterozygous MEFs
|
|
• in mouse embryonic fibroblasts treated with UV irradiation
|
muscle
skeleton
|
• 13% incidence
(J:72391)

)
|
• 6.7% incidence
|
|
• 3.3% incidence of stomach polyps
|
immune system
|
• 75% of observed tumors are thymic lymphomas
(J:87501)
