mortality/aging
|
• median lifespan of 196 days compared to 691 days in wild-type mice
|
adipose tissue
|
• average size of fat cells is reduced
|
|
• fat tissue atrophy
|
behavior/neurological
|
• mice show reduced work output during treadmill exercise
|
cardiovascular system
|
• mice are highly sensitive to repeated isoproterenol administration, with half dying within 5 injections, indicating a very low cardiac stress tolerance
|
cellular
aneuploidy
(
J:293084
)
|
• mitotic MEFs show high rates of aneuploidy
• nearly half of MEFs exhibit whole-chromosome aneuploidy
• most aneuploidy results from chromosome gains
• aneuploidy rates in mitotic splenocytes from 5-month old mice are elevated 15%
|
|
• MEFs exhibit impaired centrosome movement and form non-perpendicular spindles at increased rates
• MEFs show an increase in chromatin bridges
• premature chromatid separation in mitotic splenocytes from 5-month old mice is elevated
|
|
• spindle assembly checkpoint activity is severely compromised in MEFs
|
|
• MEFs form non-perpendicular spindles
|
|
• marker analysis indicates an increase in senescent cells in muscles and fat tissue
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• mice show reduced work output during treadmill exercise
|
|
• mice are highly sensitive to repeated isoproterenol administration, with half dying within 5 injections, indicating a very low cardiac stress tolerance
|
muscle
skeleton
vision/eye
|
• mice are highly sensitive to cataract formation, with a median onset of 168 days
