Inflammatory reaction in the liver of Gba1tm1Rlp/Gba1tm1Rlp mice
mortality/aging
|
• only about half survive past weaning
|
|
• 50% of animals survived past weaning when derived from parental mice also heterozygous for a knockout of the Ugcg gene
|
growth/size/body
|
• after 50 days of age body weight is 15% less than wild-type controls
|
|
• slight increase in liver weight
|
|
• slight increase in spleen weight
|
cardiovascular system
|
• Kupffer cells are amoeboid in shape rather than having a ramified structure, indicating an activated state
|
cellular
|
• apoptotic hepatocytes are seen in inflammatory lesions
|
respiratory system
|
• lungs show aggregations of inflammatory cells consisting of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages
|
hematopoietic system
|
• slight increase in spleen weight
|
|
• red blood cell counts are 88.8% of control values
|
|
• hematocrit levels are 88.7% of control values
|
|
• hemoglobin levels are 91.8% of control values
|
|
• white blood cell counts are 62% of controls
• however, platelet counts are normal
|
|
• 7 month old mice have abnormal swollen, multinucleated macrophages with lipofuscin granules and tubular structures in the liver
• however, no Gaucher-like cells of characteristic wrinkled tissue paper appearance are seen in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes, lung, or brain
|
|
• Kupffer cells are amoeboid in shape rather than having a ramified structure, indicating an activated state
|
homeostasis/metabolism
integument
