|
• in the extensor digitorum longus
|
|
• soft abdominal body tone in male and female mice
|
|
|
• in female at 61 weeks
• however, male mice did not exhibit this phenotype but were not assessed beyond 52 weeks of age
|
| N |
• mice exhibit normal neuromuscular junctions in the abdomen and hindlimbs

|
• males show a shorter life span, with an average of 19.5 +/- 2 months
• survival of females is longer than males, with average age being 25.5 +/- 6 months
• male-to-female ratio of the surviving pups is 1 to 2.6
|
|
• males exhibit motor dysfunction at 6 months of age or older
• however, young and old males do not show impaired performance on the T-maze task
• disease onset in females is highly variable and about 30% of females are indistinguishable from wild-type females
|
|
|
• males start to show hind limb-clasping around 8 months of age
|
|
|
• males show a shorter latency to fall than wild-type mice starting after 5 months of age
|
|
|
• males develop hindlimb paralysis with age
|
|
|
• mice exhibit spastic and trembled gait at 18 months and beyond
|
|
|
• males lose weight after 18 months of age
|
|
|
• 12 and 24 month old males exhibit skeletal muscle atrophy, with a decrease in wet weight of soleus muscle and reduction of calf muscle volume
|
|
|
• astrogliosis is seen in the spinal cord in aged, but not 6 month, mice
|
|
|
• the level of ubiquitinated proteins is increased in the ChAT+ motor neurons of spinal cord of 6 month or older males, most of which are in the cytosol
|
|
|
• males show an age-dependent loss of spinal cord motor neurons, with nearly 30%, 62%, and 77% loss at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months, respectively
• 30% loss of motor neurons in the lumbar region of the spinal cord at 6 months of age while the motor cortex, especially the primary motor cortex, only shows NeuN+ neuron loss at 24 months of age, indicating that lower motor neurons are affected first and then pathology spreads to the upper motor neurons
• however, males do not show loss of neurons in the dentate gyrus, CA1 or CA3 regions of hippocampus
|
|
|
• 6 month old males show denervation of the neuromuscular junction of soleus muscle which progresses with ageing
|
|
|
• TDP-43+ aggregates appear in the cytosol of spinal cord motor neurons of 12 and 24 month old males and colocalize with ubiquitinated proteins
|
|
|
• astrogliosis is seen in the spinal cord in aged, but not 6 month, mice
