• when housed in an open facility, heterozygotes develop signs of active infections, such as severe conjunctivitis, dermatitis, and disseminated abscesses that test positive for common pathogens
• upon infection, heterozygotes are prone to an IL-17 neutrophil-dominated response causing the observed pathologies

nervous system
• PET imaging showed widespread inflammation in the brain
• heterozygotes exhibit a lower FA (an index of fiber coherence) in the corpus callosum relative to wild-type controls
• heterozygotes exhibit reduced thickness of the corpus callosum
• heterozygotes display gliosis in the dentate gyrus

• PET imaging showed widespread microglia activation in the brain
• heterozygotes exhibit reactive astrocytes in the spinal cord
• heterozygotes display several features of axonal degeneration and myelinopathy in the white matter of the spinal cord
• heterozygotes develop a neurodegenerative disease that affects the PNS and the CNS
• the neuronal phenotype is observed with mice housed in both SPF and open facilities, and is thus independent of the presence of pathogens in the environment
• heterozygotes exhibit neuronal loss in both the dorsal and ventral horns of the spinal cord; lumbar sections are more affected
• heterozygotes exhibit loss of axonal fibers in the sciatic nerve and axonal degeneration in the lumbar sections of the spinal cord
• heterozygotes exhibit myelin degeneration in the sciatic nerve; degenerating features include onion bulbs with degenerating and regenerating myelin, and myelin outfolds

neoplasm
N
• when housed in a SPF facility, heterozygotes display no propensity to cancer and have a normal lifespan

hematopoietic system

behavior/neurological
• at 10-12 months of age, heterozygotes develop impaired motor functions
• however, no PNS or CNS anomalies are detected at birth and muscle histology appears normal
• no widespread motor function deficits are observed, as determined by open-field or rotarod tests
• at 10-12 months of age, heterozygotes display intermittent hind-leg clasping and abnormal body rotation, as assessed by the hind-leg clasping reflex

cellular
• heterozygotes display abnormal activation of autophagy
• EM of spinal cord neurons revealed large autophagosomes and autolysosomes and other features consistent with excessive or aberrant induction of autophagy; similar features are noted in brain and in isolated neurons
• LC3beta-positive neurons are detected in the spinal cord, indicating ongoing autophagy, unlike in wild-type controls
• heterozygous mutant MEFs show enlarged ER and aberrant autophagic structures, increased levels of autophagy markers, and decreased levels of the autophagy cargo protein p62; the autophagy phenotype can be rescued after expression of a dominant gain-of-acetylation mutant form of the ER-associated autophagy protein 9A (Atg9A)
