hematopoietic system
N
• homozygotes exhibit normal numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in peripheral blood
• no differences are detected in the numbers of macrophages and mature lymphocytes in spleen relative to wild-type mice
• homozygotes exhibit defective mast cell development and Kitl/Kit signaling
• homozygotes display a severe reduction in the number of mast cells in the forestomach, glandular stomach, and peritoneum relative to wild-type mice
• a less severe reduction of mast cell numbers is noted in mutant skin
• after 4-week culture of bone marrow cells with IL-3, the number of bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) recovered from homozygous mutant mice is 65% of that obtained from wild-type mice
• the level of proliferative response of homozygous mutant BMMCs restimulated with IL-3 (5 ng/mL) is 65% of wild-type BMMCs
• the level of proliferative response of homozygous mutant BMMCs stimulated with Kitl (200 ng/mL) is only 30% of wild-type BMMCs
• Kitl-induced ERK MAP kinase and Akt activation are impaired in homozygous mutant BMMCs, indicating a role in mast cell development and Kitl/Kit signaling

mortality/aging
• 70% of mice die between 3 and 72 weeks due to heart failure

cardiovascular system
• sarcomere length in the heart is reduced
• after 3 weeks, deposits of elastic fibers and collagen in the endocardium are observed
• at 10 weeks, the interventricular septal wall is thinned
• mice have a higher heart weight-to-body weight ratio when compared to control mice
• both the left and right ventricle are enlarged
• vessels in the left ventricle are abnormally dilated and are impaired in the recruitment of vascular smooth muscle cells
• mice that die of heart failure exhibit dilation of heart ventricles
• decrease in fractional shortening at 10 weeks of age
• left ventricle relaxation is impaired
• at 10 weeks, the left ventricle end-diastolic dimension is increased and accompanied by decreased fractional shortening
• 70% of mice die between 3 and 72 weeks due to heart failure
