mortality/aging
• poor survival rates after 9-10 months of age
|
cardiovascular system
• increase in heart weight to body weight and heart weight to tibial length ratios
|
• increase in fibrosis in the left ventricle
|
• mice develop adult-onset dilated cardiomyopathy associated with a decrease in anterior wall thickness, increased left ventricular end systolic diameter and left ventricular end diastolic diameter and a 60% decrease in fractional shortening
|
• decrease in cardiac function at 9 months of age but not at 4 and 6 months, with a 60% decrease in fractional shortening
|
• ventricular cardiomyocytes exhibit impaired contractility and show a decrease in both contractile distance (sarcomere shortening) and speed of contraction at 6 and 9 months of age
|
• ventricular cardiomyocytes exhibit impaired calcium handling and deregulation of the excitation-contraction coupling apparatus
|
• ventricular cardiomyocytes exhibit decreased calcium release and a trend towards decreased calcium uptake as early as 4 months of age
|
• by 6 months of age, calcium release and uptake by ventricular cardiomyocytes are increased and this persists at 9 months
• increase in calcium transients at 6 and 9 months of age
|
• expression analysis indicates a heart failure gene signature in hearts
|
muscle
• mice develop adult-onset dilated cardiomyopathy associated with a decrease in anterior wall thickness, increased left ventricular end systolic diameter and left ventricular end diastolic diameter and a 60% decrease in fractional shortening
|
• decrease in cardiac function at 9 months of age but not at 4 and 6 months, with a 60% decrease in fractional shortening
|
• ventricular cardiomyocytes exhibit impaired contractility and show a decrease in both contractile distance (sarcomere shortening) and speed of contraction at 6 and 9 months of age
|
• ventricular cardiomyocytes exhibit an increase in sarcomere length only after 9 months of age
|
growth/size/body
• increase in heart weight to body weight and heart weight to tibial length ratios
