• female mice exhibit lung arterial hyperplasia and hypertrophy

cellular

abnormal endoplasmic reticulum morphology ( J:334532 )

• mice show transverse endoplasmic reticulum (ER) expansion in myelinated corticospinal axons; transverse ER manifests as a pattern repeating about every 0.3-1 um across nearly the full diameter of the axon, resembling the rungs of a ladder in longitudinal sections

• ER in axons shows prominent transverse, sheet-like structures and these periodic structures are connected to one another via a few longitudinal ER tubules and have apertures that allow mitochondria, microtubules and neurofilaments to pass through

• the vast majority of corticospinal axons and only a few ventral root axons have expanded transverse ER

• transverse ER expansions are present in lumbar (L5) and cervical (C4) spinal cord at 1 month of age but are larger and more numerous at 6 months and transverse ER is more prominent in lumbar regions

• transverse ER is also present in spinothalamic axons in spinal cord as well as peripherally in sciatic nerve

• transverse axonal ER expansions sometimes are associated with, or give rise to, less-organized ER tubule aggregations at 6 months of age

increased endoplasmic reticulum stress ( J:334532 )

• levels of ER stress protein GRP78/immunoglobulin-binding protein (BiP) are increased, indicating ER stress in the spinal cord, however at P180, levels are dramatically decreased in the spinal cord

growth/size/body

decreased body weight ( J:334532 )

• mice show lower body weights starting at 8 weeks in males and 16 weeks in females

muscle

abnormal muscle morphology ( J:334532 )

skeletal muscle atrophy ( J:334532 )

• skeletal muscle atrophy of the front and hind limbs

nervous system

abnormal corticospinal tract morphology ( J:334532 )

• corticospinal tracts exhibit prominent changes in shape and size of axons and degeneration by 6 months of age

• transverse endoplasmic reticulum (ER) expansion is seen in myelinated corticospinal axons

• mitochondria appear more fragmented in corticospinal axons and mitochondrial volume is slightly increased in corticospinal axons, with more dramatic decreases in mitochondrial length

• however, ER-mitochondrial contact surfaces areas are similar to wild-type

abnormal myelin sheath morphology ( J:334532 )

• mice have multiple swollen myelin sheaths and digestion chambers in the peripheral nervous system

axonal spheroids ( J:334532 )

• 4.5-month-old mice have rare to occasional spheroids in the brainstem as well as in the spinal cord
