Caption (A) Radiography of an adult (12 week old) Galnt3tcal/Galnt3tcal male mouse revealed widespread subcutaneous soft tissue opacities (white arrows); two magnified areas (a and b) are shown to illustrate detailed views. (B) Von Kossa stained sections from mutant male mouse (36 week old) showing ectopic calcification in skin (arrow indicates mineralised panniculus fat); cutaneous striated muscle, heart, aorta, kidney and tongue submucosa. (C) Analysis of testes. Calcification was observed in the testicular arteries (left panel, von Kossa staining), and H&E sections (middle and right panels) of wild-type (WT) and mutant (TCAL) testis revealed disorganised seminiferous tubules and loss of spermatozoa in mutant mice. (D and E) TUNEL staining of WT and mutant testis and kidney sections, respectively, revealed increased apoptosis (green staining) in the tissues of mutant mice.
