mortality/aging
|
• 13% of mice die between 9 and 15 months of age with varying degrees of dilated cardiomyopathy
• however, mice exhibit no embryonic lethality
|
cardiovascular system
|
• at 8 weeks, pale and granulated cells resembling degenerating cardiomyocytes are found in the ventricular myocardium unlike in wild-type mice
• at 1 year, severely affected mice exhibit hypertrophic cardiocyocytes
|
|
• at E13.5, a subset of cardiomyocytes contain irregular mitochondria
• however, no other cardiac abnormalities are observed at E13.5
|
|
• in severely affected mice at 1 year

|
|
• in severely affected mice at 1 year
|
|
• at 1 year, mice with dilated cardiomyopathy exhibit increased interstitial fibrosis compared to mice that develop a hypertrophic cardiomyocyte-like phenotype
|
|
• in severely affected mice at 1 year
|
|
• at 1 year, 40% of mice exhibit pathologies of the cardiac conduction system including first degree atrioventricular (AV) block or intermittent second degree AV block type II
|
|
• at 1 year, 40% of mice exhibit pathologies of the cardiac conduction system including sinus bradycardia
|
|
• at 1 year, 40% of mice exhibit pathologies of the cardiac conduction system including transient bundle branch block
|
|
• respiratory chain complex III activity in cardiomyocytes is reduced 43% at E12.5 and 56% at E14.5 compared to in wild-type cells
• however, cardiomyocytes is reduced at 8 weeks is normal
