|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
 |
• mice exhibit fibrosis, fatty infiltration and necrosis in the diaphragm unlike in wild-type mice that increases with age
|
|
|
• mice exhibit progressive fibrosis of the diaphragm with age, unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
|
|
• skeletal muscle fibers undergo cycles of degeneration and regeneration accompanied by necrosis, fibrosis and centrally located nuclei
|
|
|
| ♀ | phenotype observed in females |
| ♂ | phenotype observed in males |
| N | normal phenotype |
 |
• cardiomyocyte nuclear area is moderately reduced in hearts of second generation (G2) 32 week old males as compared to controls
• cardiomyocyte diameter is smaller in hearts of 32 week old G2 males
• hearts from G2 males exhibit a loss of thick and thin myofilaments
|
|
|
• left ventricle enlargement is observed by 32 weeks in hearts of G2 males as compared to controls
|
|
|
• increased chamber size is observed in 32 week old G2 males as compared to controls
• left ventricular transverse area is increased in diastole and systole in G2 males
|
|
|
• ventricular fibrosis is observed by 32 weeks in hearts of G2 males
|
|
|
• reduced cardiac function is observed in older G1 males (80 weeks), but is not observed at 32 weeks
• cardiac dysfunction is observed at 8 weeks in third generation males
• cardiac dysfunction can be induced by angiotension II infusion in younger second generation males
|
|
|
• 32 week old G2 males exhibit reduced ventricular contractility as assessed by a reduction in fractional shortening as compared to controls
|
|
|
• wide QRS interval is observed in both G1 and G2 males as compared to controls
|
|
|
• 50% reduction in telomere length in G2 cardiomyocytes as compared to controls
• however, telomere lengths are similar to controls in vascular smooth muscle cells
|
|
|
• lack of well-defined cristae observed in cardiac muscle of second generation mice
|
|
|
• extensive mitochondrial fragmentation observed in cardiac muscle of second generation mice
|
|
|

|
|
|
• moderately increased number of mitochondria is observed in cardiac muscle of second generation mice
|
|
|
• an increased number of 8-OHdg-positive nuclei, a marker of oxidative damage, is observed in G2 hearts as compared to controls
|
|
|
• death occurs as early as 30 weeks in first generation males, T50 is 120 weeks
• death occurs as early as 19 weeks in second generation males, T50 is 80 weeks
|
|
|
• cardiomyocyte nuclear area is moderately reduced in hearts of second generation (G2) 32 week old males as compared to controls
• cardiomyocyte diameter is smaller in hearts of 32 week old G2 males
• hearts from G2 males exhibit a loss of thick and thin myofilaments
|
|
|
• reduced cardiac function is observed in older G1 males (80 weeks), but is not observed at 32 weeks
• cardiac dysfunction is observed at 8 weeks in third generation males
• cardiac dysfunction can be induced by angiotension II infusion in younger second generation males

| N | normal phenotype |
|
|
• skeletal muscles exhibit variation in fiber size and centrally located nuclei unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit macrophage invasion into muscles unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
|
• highest specific tetanic force is lower than in wild-type mice
