Low bone mass in Lrp5tm1Kry/Lrp5tm1Kry mice

mortality/aging
• a small but significant number of mutants die within the first month, likely as a result of bone fractures

skeleton
N
• some homozygotes walk with noticeable limps, observed at 2 months of age, resulting from tibial fractures
• in 6-month-old mice, a 2-fold decrease in bone formation rate (BFR) is observed; similar results are seen in 2- and 4-month-old animals
• this is due to decreased matrix apposition rate (MAR - amount of bone matrix deposited per osteoblast cluster; 0.75 um/day vs 0.45 um/day in wild-type); similar results are seen in 2- and 4-month-old animals
• there is decreased bone volume compared to wild-type
• mutant have significantly decreased numbers in the primary and secondary spongiosa
• in calvaria, osteoblasts are reduced in number and show lower levels of proliferation (lower mitotic index)
• at 2 weeks of age, mice show decreased mineralized bone in the primary spongiosa
• all homozygotes have a low bone mass phenotype at 2 months of age in all animals regardless of sex and at all stages analyzed
• bone mass remains lower in mutants throughout life
• bone formation is abnormal, but bone resorption does not appear to be affected
• at E17.5 no defect in ossification is observed, but a subtle delay is seen in the digits of newborn mutants; fifth middle phalangeal ossification center is absent
• in 4-day old mutants delay is more pronounced, with absent or reduced ossification centers of the wrist, distal metacarpal bones, femora, humeri and ulnae

vision/eye
• in 70% of 6-month old mutants hyaloid vessels are present in the eyes; regression of capillary networks is delayed in mutants analyzed between P3-P8 compared to wild-type and heterozygotes

cellular
• mutants show lower levels of macrophage-mediated apoptosis in hyaloid vessel segments of the eye at all time points, compared to wild-type
• in 6-month-old mice, a 2-fold decrease in bone formation rate (BFR) is observed; similar results are seen in 2- and 4-month-old animals
• this is due to decreased matrix apposition rate (MAR - amount of bone matrix deposited per osteoblast cluster; 0.75 um/day vs 0.45 um/day in wild-type); similar results are seen in 2- and 4-month-old animals

• hyperpermeable retinal vessels (J:135279)

• associated with reduced rate of entry into the cell cycle (J:101493)
• persists on both a normal chow and low tryptophan diet (J:146078)

homeostasis/metabolism
• when fed a diet containing 75% less tryptophan than normal, circulating serotonin levels are reduced 8- to 10-fold
• circulating serotonin levels increase with age

skeleton
N
• despite the decrease in osteoblast numbers in vivo, osteoblast proliferation ex vivo is normal
• on a normal diet bone mass is reduced
• when fed a diet containing 75% less tryptophan than normal, bone mass is normalized
• variable reduction in mineralization of phalanges at P0, with incomplete penetrance

Abnormal osteogenesis in Lrp5tm1Kry/Lrp5+ and Lrp5tm1Kry/Lrp5tm1Kry mice

skeleton

• heterozygotes have significantly decreased bone volume compared to wild-type

• bone formation is abnormal, but bone resorption does not appear to be affected
• delay is milder in heterozygotes
