Bone marrow fibrosis, splenomegaly and megakaryocyte hyperplasia in Stim1Sax/Stim1+ mice
hematopoietic system
|
• at 6 months of age, spleen to body mass ratio is increased (14.8+/-4.63% compared to 4.1+/-0.23% in wild-type mice)
|
|
• despite similar thrombopoeitin (TPO) levels as observed in wild-type mice, injection of TPO did not induce platelet production as it does in wild-type mice
|
|
• at 6 months of age, red pulp is expanded and enriched for megakaryocytes (16.6+/-4.3 megakaryocytes per visual field compared to 4.4+/-13 megakaryocytes per visual field in wild-type mice)
|
|
• platelet counts are lower than in wild-type mice due to decreased platelet lifespan and increased platelet clearance
• however, thrombopoeitin levels and megakaryocyte differentiation are normal
|
|
• at 6 months of age, red pulp is expanded and enriched for megakaryocytes (16.6+/-4.3 megakaryocytes per visual field compared to 4.4+/-13 megakaryocytes per visual field in wild-type mice)
|
|
• mice exhibit preactivation of platelets
• collagen responses and thrombus formation are defective
|
homeostasis/metabolism
immune system
N |
• T cell development and function are normal
• at 4 weeks and 6 months of age, total cell counts in the spleen and numbers of T and B cell, granulocytes and monocytic cells is normal
|
|
• at 6 months of age, spleen to body mass ratio is increased (14.8+/-4.63% compared to 4.1+/-0.23% in wild-type mice)
|
|
• despite similar thrombopoeitin (TPO) levels as observed in wild-type mice, injection of TPO did not induce platelet production as it does in wild-type mice
|
|
• at 6 months of age, red pulp is expanded and enriched for megakaryocytes (16.6+/-4.3 megakaryocytes per visual field compared to 4.4+/-13 megakaryocytes per visual field in wild-type mice)
|
skeleton
|
• at 6 months of age, mice develop bone marrow fibrosis that leads to a reduction in bone marrow cellularity and stromal degeneration
|
|
• at 6 months of age, mice develop bone marrow fibrosis
|
growth/size/body
|
• at 6 months of age, spleen to body mass ratio is increased (14.8+/-4.63% compared to 4.1+/-0.23% in wild-type mice)
