mortality/aging
|
• all mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi die unlike control mice without an increase in parasitemia
|
|
• only ~20% of newborn homozygotes are obtained from heterozygote breedings, suggesting partial perinatal lethality
|
|
• at 3 weeks, only about 7% of homozygotes are obtained from heterozygote matings; surviving homozygotes appear grossly normal
|
cardiovascular system
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes display mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltration and extensive cardiomyocyte degeneration and death with focal calcification, characteristic of infarcts which are 1-2 weeks old
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes exhibit a greater increase in right ventricular weight relative to wild-type mice
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 5-7 weeks), homozygotes show comparable increases in hematocrit values, pulmonary hypertension (right ventricular systolic pressure) and pulmonary vascular remodeling (peripheral muscularized vessels) relative to wild-type mice
• however, in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 5 weeks), homozygotes exhibit increased right ventricular dilation relative to wild-type mice, with severe dilation noted at 7 weeks
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes exhibit increased perivascular fibrosis, with earlier collagen deposition and scar formation surrounding infarcted sites relative to wild-type mice
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes display increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, as shown by increased TUNEL-positive cells in infarcted areas
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), 4 of 6 homozygotes exhibit evidence of right ventricular infarcts which are less than 2 weeks old
• however, no left ventricular infarcts or coronary occlusion are observed
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), 4 of 6 homozygotes exhibit evidence of right ventricular infarcts which are less than 2 weeks old
• however, no left ventricular infarcts or coronary occlusion are observed
|
|
• 4-fold in mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), all (4 of 4) homozygotes with right ventricular infarcts display large, organized mural thrombi
|
|
• in mice infected with Plasmidium berhei ANKA
|
cellular
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes display mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltration and extensive cardiomyocyte degeneration and death with focal calcification, characteristic of infarcts which are 1-2 weeks old
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes display increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, as shown by increased TUNEL-positive cells in infarcted areas
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes show extensive lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage in the zone of right ventricular infarctions
|
muscle
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes display mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltration and extensive cardiomyocyte degeneration and death with focal calcification, characteristic of infarcts which are 1-2 weeks old
|
|
• in response to chronic hypoxia (10% oxygen, 7 weeks), homozygotes display increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, as shown by increased TUNEL-positive cells in infarcted areas
|
immune system
|
• mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi (PCC) exhibit increased mortality and hepatic failure with a 4-fold increase in alanine aminotransferase plasma concentration and accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances compared with control mice
• mice infected with Plasmidium berhei ANKA exhibit increased cerebral malaria as indicated by brain edema compared with control mice
• however, mice infected with PCC exhibit normal parasitemia and do not develop cerebral malaria or kidney failure
|
|
• all mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi die unlike control mice without an increase in parasitemia
|
liver/biliary system
|
• in mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi
|
nervous system
|
• in mice infected with Plasmidium berhei ANKA
