Analysis Tools
liver/biliary system
|
• mice show the eventual disruption of the bile duct epithelium
|
|
• extensive bile duct hyperplasia at 6 weeks of age
|
|
• 6 to 52-week-old mice show extensive parenchymal inflammation
• mice of all ages show increased leukocyte infiltration into the liver parenchyma; the predominant population of leukocytes is T lymphocytes in 6-week-old-mice, while 24-week-old mice show an additional accumulation of B lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils
|
|
• 6 to 52-week-old mice show extensive parenchymal inflammation and parenchymal fibrosis
|
|
• 6 to 52-week-old mice show parenchymal fibrosis and fibrosis in portal areas
|
|
• active and progressive proliferation of intrahepatic bile ducts is seen in 6 to 52-week-old mice, with intrahepatic and periportal cholangiocyte proliferation
|
|
• symptoms of primary biliary cholangitis are already seen at P10; intrahepatic bile duct pathology is extensive at 6 weeks, less severe in the liver parenchyma at 24 weeks, and modestly reintensified by 52 weeks
• males and females show the same features of primary biliary cholangitis
|
|
• mice show bile duct lumen obstruction due to proliferation of bile ducts, bile duct epithelium disruption, inflammation, and fibrosis
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• mice show the eventual disruption of the bile duct epithelium
|
|
• extensive bile duct hyperplasia at 6 weeks of age
|
growth/size/body
hematopoietic system
|
• IgG concentrations are increased at 6- and 24-weeks of age
|
|
• IgM concentrations are increased at 6- and 24-weeks of age
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• alkaline phosphatase activity in the serum is increased at 6 weeks of age
|
|
• concentration of total bile acids in the serum is increased at 6 weeks of age
• bile acid deposition in hepatocytes eventually occurs
|
immune system
|
• IgG concentrations are increased at 6- and 24-weeks of age
|
|
• IgM concentrations are increased at 6- and 24-weeks of age
|
|
• 60-90% mice exhibit increased plasma concentrations of anti-PDC-E2 mitochondrial autoantibodies
|
|
• 90% of 12-week-old mice exhibit elevated anti-gp-210 nuclear autoantibodies
|
|
• eventually mice show formation of small granulomas in the liver
|
|
• symptoms of primary biliary cholangitis are already seen at P10; intrahepatic bile duct pathology is extensive at 6 weeks, less severe in the liver parenchyma at 24 weeks, and modestly reintensified by 52 weeks
• males and females show the same features of primary biliary cholangitis
|
|
• 6 to 52-week-old mice show extensive parenchymal inflammation
• mice of all ages show increased leukocyte infiltration into the liver parenchyma; the predominant population of leukocytes is T lymphocytes in 6-week-old-mice, while 24-week-old mice show an additional accumulation of B lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils
