mortality/aging
|
• 70% of mice die by 6 weeks
|
behavior/neurological
|
• mice develop an abnormal gait and walk with extended legs
|
craniofacial
|
• ears become crumpled in appearance and are closely apposed to the head
|
|
• ears become crumpled in appearance and are closely apposed to the head
|
digestive/alimentary system
|
• the stratified epithelia of the esophagus displays abnormal basal cell morphology and reduced proliferation compared to in wild-type mice
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
growth/size/body
|
• ears become crumpled in appearance and are closely apposed to the head
|
|
• ears become crumpled in appearance and are closely apposed to the head
|
|
• after 4 weeks mice were 10 to 11 g compared to 20 g for wild-type mice
|
reproductive system
homeostasis/metabolism
immune system
|
• mice develop skin inflammation with an increase in the number of macrophages around some but not all deformed hair follicles and giant cells found close to some hair bulbs
|
pigmentation
|
• fibrosis is accompanied by large melanin deposits
|
|
• at day 2, pigmentation on back skin at the midline and in several lines parallel to the ribs is reduced
|
hearing/vestibular/ear
|
• ears become crumpled in appearance and are closely apposed to the head
|
|
• ears become crumpled in appearance and are closely apposed to the head
|
integument
|
• in a barrier function test, dye penetrate the superficial but not lower layers of the skin unlike in wild-type mice that demonstrate only occasional staining of the stratum corneum
|
|
• mice develop skin inflammation with an increase in the number of macrophages around some but not all deformed hair follicles and giant cells found close to some hair bulbs
|
|
• at P14, abnormally shaped hair follicles fail to grow as deeply into the subcutis compared to in control mice
|
|
• at 9 days a reduction in the number of hair follicles is apparent and by 4 weeks of age mice have few hairs left
|
|
• loss of hair occurs between 2 and 5 weeks of age
|
|
• short hairs are absent
(J:65038)
• beginning at day 9, hair follicles display abnormal morphologies such as shortened hair bulb and increased number of layers of outer root sheath cells, folding of layers of inner root sheath cells and amorphous, mislocated hair follicles
(J:65038)
• all hair follicles are severely distorted
(J:148885)
|
|
• at 9 days a reduction in the number of hair follicles is apparent and by 4 weeks of age mice have few hairs left
(J:65038)
• no hair follicles are apparent at 7 weeks of age
(J:65038)
|
|
• proliferation of hair follicles is decreased compared to in wild-type mice with proliferation of hair follicles reduced or absent at day 9 and 16, respectively
• however, there is no increase in apoptosis rates of hair follicles
|
|
• mice develop dermal fibrosis
(J:65038)
• dermal fibrosis is detected by 5 weeks of age
(J:148885)
|
|
• cell cycling in the basal layer is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
|
• the basal keratinocyte layer is composed of several layers of roundish or polygonal cells unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
• interfollicular epidermis consists of 2 to 7 layers of roundish, polygonal, or flattened keratinocytes that are often detached from the dermis forming large blisters
• at 5 weeks of age the epidermis of the back skin is severely hyperthickened but has fewer blisters compared to mice at 2 weeks of age
|
|
• hyperthickened at 14 days of age
(J:177979)
|
|
• the basement membrane at the dermal-epidermal junction is distorted compared to in wild-type mice
(J:65038)
• interfollicular epidermis consists of 2 to 7 layers of roundish, polygonal, or flattened keratinocytes that are often detached from the dermis forming large blisters
(J:148885)
|
|
• mice develop small blisters on the tongue and esophagus at 6 weeks and blisters, bleeding and ulcerations in the anus region
(J:65038)
• interfollicular epidermis consists of 2 to 7 layers of roundish, polygonal, or flattened keratinocytes that are often detached from the dermis forming large blisters
(J:148885)
|
|
• small skin wounds are apparent especially in areas of mechanical stress such as knees, elbows and ears
|
|
• fibrosis is accompanied by large melanin deposits
