mortality/aging
• survival following exposure to 150 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is lower than for wild-type mice
• however, survival following exposure to 250 mg/kg 5-FU mice survive as long as wild-type mice (7 months)
|
hematopoietic system
• when stimulated with fMLP or compliment factor 5a in a transwell chemotaxis assay, less than 2% of neutrophils migrate to the lower chamber compared to 8% to 11% of wild-type cells
• when stimulated with a gradient of fMLP in a Zigmond chamber, neutrophils exhibit a 55% reduction in average speed compared to wild-type cells and cells display indecisive wandering behavior rather than traveling in a straight line
• during migration, direction change and straightness of neutrophil travel are abnormal
|
• while bone marrow transplants are capable of hematopoeitic stem cell engraftment and self-renewal, repopulation at the pro-T and B cell level is defective
|
• the number of mature CD3+ T cells and B220+IgM+ B cells is slightly decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• however, the number of immature B cells, hematopoietic stem cells and common lymphoid progenitors is normal
|
• the number of mature CD3+ T cells is slightly decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
cellular
• when stimulated with CXCL2, lineage-negative colony-forming units and LSK cells exhibit reduced migration compared to wild-type cells
|
• when stimulated with fMLP or compliment factor 5a in a transwell chemotaxis assay, less than 2% of neutrophils migrate to the lower chamber compared to 8% to 11% of wild-type cells
• when stimulated with a gradient of fMLP in a Zigmond chamber, neutrophils exhibit a 55% reduction in average speed compared to wild-type cells and cells display indecisive wandering behavior rather than traveling in a straight line

immune system

homeostasis/metabolism
• survival following exposure to 150 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is lower than for wild-type mice
• however, survival following exposure to 250 mg/kg 5-FU mice survive as long as wild-type mice (7 months)
