homeostasis/metabolism
• resting cytosolic calcium level is about 50% higher in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle fibers, but not in soleus muscle

• beginning at 2 months and increasing in prevalence with age, muscle fibers exhibit centrally localization of mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum within unlike in wild-type muscle
• slightly at 2 months and significantly at 8 months in the tibialis anterior and quadriceps
• at 2 months and increasing in prevalence with age
• in the soleus between 2 and 8 months
• in the quadriceps at 8 months

• in the tibialis anterior at 2 and 8 months
• muscle mass in the soleus and diaphragm is transiently increased compared to in wild-type mice

hematopoietic system
• mice exhibit a mild microcytic anemia with reduced mean cellular hemoglobin but normal mean cell hemoglobin concentration and red cell distribution width
• however, red cell number and reticulocyte percentage, and leukocyte and platelet counts are unchanged, spleen size and architecture appear normal, and response to hemolytic anemia induced by treatment with phenylhydrazine (PHZ) is unchanged
• spleens contain a 2-fold increase in proerythroblasts
• however, erythroid progenitor numbers are unchanged
• peripheral blood smears are relatively normal, with occasional target cells
• reduction in mean cellular hemoglobin
• peripheral blood smears are relatively normal, with occasional hypochromic red cells
• bone marrow cells from 10-week-old mice show a 50% reduction in transferrin uptake
• however, erythroid cells clear transferrin at a normal rate, suggesting that endosome recycling is unaffected

homeostasis/metabolism
N
• total iron biding capacity and serum levels of iron, ferritin, and transferrin are normal and all measures of iron stores are normal

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
N
• mice show no impaired performance on the hot plate, rotarod, or forepaw grip strength tests at 2 months and 1 year of age, and in the inverted hang motor test at 2 months of age
• minor gait alterations are seen at 2 months and 1 year of age
• mice travel less distance than controls in the open field at 2 months and 1 year of age

growth/size/body
• mice show a slight reduction in average body mass, with substantial variability at 2 months and 1 year of age

hematopoietic system
• the numbers of macrophages in between myofibers are elevated at 2 months and 1 year of age
• consistent increase in the number of macrophages in tibialis anterior muscle

immune system
N
• mice do not show changes in the abundance of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, neutrophils, inflammatory monocytes, macrophages or dendritic cells in the blood and do not develop signs of neutropenia
• mice challenged with infection by Listeria monocytogenes show no differences in immune cells in blood, spleen, bone marrow or peritoneal cavity compared to controls except for a very small change in B-cell numbers in spleens
• the numbers of macrophages in between myofibers are elevated at 2 months and 1 year of age
• consistent increase in the number of macrophages in tibialis anterior muscle

muscle
• an increase in extracellular matrix/fibrotic tissue is seen in soleus muscle at 2 months and 1 year of age, indicating myofiber damage
• marker analysis indicates an increase in fiber regeneration in soleus muscle in 2-month old mice
• soleus muscle shows a shift toward smaller-caliber fibers at 2 months and 1 year of age
• tibialis anterior muscle shows a shift in fiber diameter frequency distributions toward smaller-caliber fibers
• weight of soleus muscle is decreased in males at 2 months of age and in both males and females at 1 year of age
• tibialis anterior muscle weight is reduced, with some variability at 2 months of age and more uniformity at 1 year of age
• very small, but significant, increase of fiber type II and decrease of fiber type I is seen in soleus muscle at 2 months and 1 year of age
• the compound muscle action potential amplitude, which includes the muscle response to the motor axon stimulation, is reduced
• a slight, but significant, decrement of the muscle response to repetitive stimulation is seen at 3 and 10 Hz
• however, mice show no changes in compound sensory nerve conduction velocity and amplitude in the PNS compartment and no difference in motor nerve conduction velocity
• mice develop a mild but definitive and enduring primary myopathy which develops in the absence of neuropathy
• an increase in extracellular matrix/fibrotic tissue is seen in soleus muscle at 2 months and 1 year of age, indicating myofiber damage
• marker analysis indicates an increase in fiber regeneration in soleus muscle in 2-month old mice

nervous system
• g-ratio shows slightly lower average values in 1-year old distal tibial nerves, indicating marginally thicker myelin sheaths, especially surrounding small caliber axons
• however, myelin periodicity is not altered and no major signs of demyelination or remyelination are seen in distal tibial nerves indicating that mice do not develop typical features of a dysmyelinating/demyelinating neuropathy up to 1 year of age
• soleus muscles show a marginal decrease of fully innervated endplates at both 2 months and 1 year of age and a slight increase of partially denervated endplates in 1 year old mice
• however, no significant increase of fully denervated fibers is seen
• the compound muscle action potential amplitude, which includes the muscle response to the motor axon stimulation, is reduced
