reproductive system
 N |
• female mice are fertile
|
|
|
• at 4 months of age, a significant proportion of cauda epididymal spermatozoa appear morphologically abnormal
• abnormal sperm morphology appears during transit from the head to the tail of the epididymis
• however, the morphology of sperm collected from testis is normal
|
|
|
• TEM analysis of cauda epididymal sperm showed that the midpiece consists of disrupted mitochondria and axoneme wrapped around the bent head and neck
|
|
|
• disrupted mitochondria are observed in the midpiece
|
|
|
• phase contrast images revealed many cauda epididymal sperm with misshapen heads
• SEM showed that some cauda epididymal sperm heads have a roughly uneven surface and bend over with the tip of the head toward the tail or curl like a golf stick; other sperm curl as a disk-like structure by wrapping around the head with the neck and middle parts of the tail
|
|
|
• at 4 months of age, the % of progressively motile sperm is significantly lower than that in wild-type males
|
|
|
• at 4 months of age, the % of motile cauda epididymal sperm is significantly lower than that in wild-type males
• however, cauda epididymal sperm concentration is relatively normal
|
|
|
(J:207622)
• when bred with female heterozygotes over a period of 6 months, most male heterozygotes (26/30) at ages of 2-8 months are unable to father a litter
(J:284227)
|
|
|
• when bred with female heterozygotes over a period of 6 months, only ~13% of male heterozygotes (4/30) are able to father a litter with 2-4 pups per litter at earlier ages
• even when bred with wild-type females, only ~30% of male heterozygotes (3/10) are capable of fathering a litter, indicating severely impaired male fertility
|
|
|
• at 13-15 months of age, expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) is significantly increased in the epididymis relative to that in age-matched wild-type males
• at 4.5 months of age, IHC staining showed a significantly higher IL-6 expression in the epithelial cells of the caput, corpus and cauda of the epididymis than in wild-type epididymis
|
homeostasis/metabolism
liver/biliary system
|
|
• chronic in male, but not female, mice with immune cell infiltrations around the bile ducts and in the portal areas, focal aggregates of lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophage
|
|
|
• at 6 or 10 months, male mice exhibit dysplasia with disorganized architecture, cytological atypia, enlarged nuclei and vacuolated hepatocytes compare with wild-type and female mice
|
|
|
• in male, but not female, mice at 10 months
• however, levels at 6 month are normal
|
|
|
• in male, but not female, mice at 6 or 10 months
|
|
|
• in the periportal and periductular areas of male mice at 10 months
|
|
|
• at 10 to 18 months, nearly all male mice develop spontaneous liver tumors (well to moderately differentiated HCC) with occasional lung metastasis unlike female or wild-type mice
