mortality/aging

neonatal lethality, complete penetrance ( J:96435 )

• homozygotes die within a few hours of birth

homeostasis/metabolism

impaired skin barrier function ( J:96435 )

integument

impaired skin barrier function ( J:96435 )

• homozygotes display increased dye penetration even in areas where no skin detachment is seen

• trans-epidermal water loss is 3- and 8-time greater in homozygotes at E18.5 and in neonates, respectively

abnormal hair shaft morphology ( J:96435 )

• the few erupted hair shafts are poorly oriented and abnormally curved

• mutant skin grafts placed on to nude mice do not have any erupted hair shafts

abnormal hair follicle morphology ( J:96435 )

• premature keratinization of the inner root sheath and hair shaft in the lower portion of the follicle

• mutant skin grafts placed onto nude mice display disorganized hair follicles

abnormal vibrissa follicle morphology ( J:96435 )

• whisker follicles display loss of cell adhesion in the inner root sheath and between the inner root sheath and the hair shaft

abnormal vibrissa morphology ( J:96435 )

• the hair shaft of whisker follicles are shrunken and irregularly shaped

sparse vibrissae ( J:96435 )

abnormal epidermal layer morphology ( J:96435 )

• intercellular separation is seen at the granular layer-stratum corneum interface

abnormal epidermis stratum corneum morphology ( J:96435 )

• the stratum corneum is lost over large areas of the skin surface

hyperkeratosis ( J:96435 )

parakeratosis ( J:96435 )

abnormal epidermis stratum granulosum morphology ( J:96435 )

• mutant skin grafts placed onto nude mice display hypogranulosis

acanthosis ( J:96435 )

• mutant skin grafts placed onto nude mice display an acanthotic epidermis with papillomatosis

epidermal desquamation ( J:96435 )

• shedding of skin in sheets and ribbons

reddish skin ( J:96435 )

• mutant skin grafts placed onto nude mice display marked erythema

scaly skin ( J:96435 )

• mutant skin grafts placed onto nude mice have large scales

skin lesions ( J:96435 )

• large oozing areas of denuded erythrodermic skin are seen predominantly in areas of trauma or friction

decreased skin tensile strength ( J:96435 )

• very fragile skin

• Allelic Composition: Spink5^tm1Hov/Spink5^tm2.1Hov; Tg(KRT5-cre/ERT2)2Ipc/0
• Genetic Background: involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6 * C57BL/6JRj * SJL

integument

alopecia ( J:357366 )

• mice develop alopecic areas following tamoxifen treatment

scaly skin ( J:357366 )

• tamoxifen-treated mice develop red, scaly and crusty skin with alopecic areas secondary to scratching behavior

skin lesions ( J:357366 )

• mice develop skin lesions resembling Netherton syndrome within 10 days after starting tamoxifen treatment

• about 40% of mice exhibit spontaneous, tamoxifen-independent floxed allele excision as early as 2 weeks after birth due to the leaky nature of the transgene and develop skin lesions

mortality/aging

premature death ( J:357366 )

• survival of tamoxifen-treated mice depends on severity and extent of skin lesions with a mean survival time of 5 weeks

growth/size/body

weight loss ( J:357366 )

• skin lesions are accompanied by weight loss and signs of emaciation in the most severe cases of tamoxifen-treated mice

cachexia ( J:357366 )

• the most severe cases of skin lesions are accompanied by signs of emaciation in tamoxifen-treated mice
