Gata1Plt13/Gata1+ mice exhibit megakaryocytosis and abnormal megakaryocyte maturation.

hematopoietic system
enlarged spleen ( J:113720 )
• splenomegaly in mutants is associated with the extramedullary hematopoiesis
increased spleen weight ( J:113720 )
• in mutants spleen weight is 172 mg vs 106 mg in wild-type females
abnormal myelopoiesis ( J:113720 )
• spleen cell cultures show elevated numbers of granulocyte and macrophage progenitor cells
abnormal thrombopoiesis ( J:113720 )
• mutant megakaryocytes in female heterozygotes make up 80-90% of total majority of megakaryocytes do not express either N- (labels wild-type) or C-terminal epitopes of Gata1
• colony numbers are elevated in spleen and feral liver, but colony size is unaffected
extramedullary hematopoiesis ( J:113720 )
• megakaryocyte progenitor cell levels are elevated in the spleen and feral liver
abnormal megakaryocyte morphology ( J:113720 )
• majority of megakaryocytes display abnormal morphology with hyperchromatic nuclei surrounded by sparse areas of cytoplasm
• megakaryocytes contain large clumps of membrane or lack demarcation membrane system entirely
increased megakaryocyte cell number ( J:113720 )
• spleen and bone marrow show increased numbers of megakaryocytes with small numbers of single megarkaryocytes in liver and lungs of adults
abnormal megakaryocyte progenitor cell morphology ( J:113720 )
• megakaryocyte progenitor cell levels are elevated in the spleen and fetal liver
• in bone marrow there is a reduction in megakaryocyte progenitors compared to wild-type
thrombocytopenia ( J:113720 )
• female adult heterozygotes show a 60% reduction in circulating platelet number compared to wild-type

immune system
enlarged spleen ( J:113720 )
• splenomegaly in mutants is associated with the extramedullary hematopoiesis
increased spleen weight ( J:113720 )
• in mutants spleen weight is 172 mg vs 106 mg in wild-type females
abnormal myelopoiesis ( J:113720 )
• spleen cell cultures show elevated numbers of granulocyte and macrophage progenitor cells
abnormal thrombopoiesis ( J:113720 )
• mutant megakaryocytes in female heterozygotes make up 80-90% of total majority of megakaryocytes do not express either N- (labels wild-type) or C-terminal epitopes of Gata1
• colony numbers are elevated in spleen and feral liver, but colony size is unaffected

cellular
polyploidy ( J:113720 )
• bone marrow megakaryocytes show DNA ploidy of 32N compared to 16N in wild-type, with abundant megakaryocytes having DNA content of 64N or 128N

growth/size/body
enlarged spleen ( J:113720 )
• splenomegaly in mutants is associated with the extramedullary hematopoiesis
increased spleen weight ( J:113720 )
• in mutants spleen weight is 172 mg vs 106 mg in wild-type females

mortality/aging
embryonic lethality during organogenesis, incomplete penetrance ( J:113720 )
• Mendelian numbers of mutant male embryos are found at E10.5, are found at reduced numbers at 13.5 and no male mutants are born

growth/size/body
decreased embryo size ( J:113720 )

embryo
embryo tissue necrosis ( J:113720 )
• At E13.5, mutant embryos show regions of necrosis
decreased embryo size ( J:113720 )
• male mutants are smaller than wild-type at E13.5

hematopoietic system
anemia ( J:113720 )
• at E 13.5, mutants are pallid, consistent with severe anemia

small liver ( J:113720 )
• at E13.5, mutants have little or no fetal liver

cellular
embryo tissue necrosis ( J:113720 )
• At E13.5, mutant embryos show regions of necrosis
