Impaired epidermal barrier in Alox12btm1.1Krie/Alox12btm1.1Krie mice
mortality/aging
|
• all homozygous mutant mice died within 3-5 h after birth
• no embryonic lethality and at birth homozygous mice were hard to distinguish from wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
integument
|
• skin of mutant mice remained permeable at E18.5
• the barrier function of tight junctions were not affected
|
|
• the stratum corneum is more tightly packed than in wild-type
|
|
• numerous vacuole-like structure were observed in the upper granular layers
• EM confirmed vesicular structures of variable sizes in granular layer cells
|
|
• an increased fragility of the mutant cornified envelope
