renal/urinary system
| N |
• surprisingly, mice are viable and do not develop overt chronic kidney disease up to 9 months of age
• no excessive proteinuria at 1-9 months of age relative to control mice
• normal urine albumin/creatinine ratios at 3-9 months of age relative to control mice
|
albuminuria
(
J:173971
)
|
• at 3, 4, and 6 weeks after adriamycin injection, mice develop significantly more albuminuria than similarly-treated control mice
|
|
• after adriamycin injection, mice exhibit patches of foot process fusion, unlike similarly-treated control mice
|
|
• after adriamycin injection, mice exhibit patches of severe foot process effacement, unlike similarly-treated control mice
|
|
• after adriamycin injection, mice exhibit evidence of pseudovillous transformation, unlike similarly-treated control mice
|
|
• after adriamycin injection, mice exhibit thickening of the basement membrane in some glomerular loops, unlike similarly-treated control mice
|
|
• at 6 weeks after adriamycin injection, mice develop focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis ranging from mild segmental sclerosis to severe global sclerosis, unlike similarly-treated control mice which develop foci of mild sclerosis but no globally sclerotic glomeruli
|
renal cast
(
J:173971
)
|
• at 6 weeks after adriamycin injection, mice exhibit numerous proteinaceous casts, unlike similarly-treated control mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
| N |
• no excessive proteinuria at 1-9 months of age relative to control mice
• normal urine albumin/creatinine ratios at 3-9 months of age relative to control mice
• normal serum creatinine and BUN levels at 9 months of age relative to control mice
|
albuminuria
(
J:173971
)
|
• at 3, 4, and 6 weeks after adriamycin injection, mice develop significantly more albuminuria than similarly-treated control mice
|
|
• following injection with doxorubicin hydrochloride (adriamycin; 15 ug/g) to induce kidney podocyte injury, 9-11 month old mice develop severe proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis, unlike similarly-treated control mice
|
growth/size/body
| N |
• normal body weight at 9 months of age relative to control mice
|
cardiovascular system
| N |
• no significant difference in tail cuff blood pressure at 11-12 months of age relative to control mice
