|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice show molecular changes in K5, K14, K1, and K10 that are consistent with a defect in the basal to spinous keratinocyte transition
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice show a significant increase in the numbers of BrdU positive S-phase cells in the IFE and ORS keratinocytes relative to controls
• a 4.7-fold increase is noted in BrdU positive basal S-phase keratinocytes
• a ~27-fold increase is noted in in BrdU positive suprabasal S-phase keratinocytes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• in 4OHT-treated mutant mice, sebaceous glands contain abnormal looking sebocytes that appear undifferentiated, show reduced cytoplasmic volume, and lack clear fine vacuolation supportive of lipid accumulation
• affected glands show increased cellular density with more closely apposed nuclei and the cells are morphologically similar to reserve undifferentiated cells
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice show marked atrophy of preputial gland lobules and reduced numbers of clear finely vacuolated sebocytes
|
|
• in 4OHT-treated mutant mice, sebaceous glands contain abnormal looking sebocytes that appear undifferentiated
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice exhibit loss of morphologically distinct differentiated sebocytes in the sebaceous, Meibomian, and preputial glands
• in 4OHT-treated mutant mice, sebaceous gland lobules associated with hair follicles fail to stain with Oil Red O indicating the absence of sebum and terminally differentiated sebocytes
• sebocyte differentiation is blocked as determined by reduced expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase and melanocortin 5 receptor, two markers of terminal sebocyte differentiation
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice display hyperplasia of the Meibomian ducts
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice display atrophic Meibomian glands with greatly reduced lobule size and reduced numbers of differentiated sebocytes with clear vacuolated cytoplasm
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice exhibit lack of sebum production

|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice display hyperplasia of the infundibular outer root sheath (ORS) keratinocytes
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice show defects in epidermal stratified squamous differentiation
|
|
• 4OHT-treated mutant mice show molecular changes in K5, K14, K1, and K10 that are consistent with a defect in the basal to spinous keratinocyte transition
