digestive/alimentary system
• mice exhibit reduced susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, showing less severe colitis, less shortening of the colon, less inflammation and colon damage, and decreased proinflammatory cytokine levels

immune system
• mice exhibit reduced susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, showing less severe colitis, less shortening of the colon, less inflammation and colon damage, and decreased proinflammatory cytokine levels
|
• peritoneal macrophages show reduced LPS-induced lL-1beta production
|
• peritoneal macrophages show reduced LPS-induced IL-18 production
|
• mice show reduced susceptibility to LPS-induced shock, showing higher survival, reduced clinical signs of shock and reduced proinflammatory levels
|
• only 40% of homozygous mutants survive 48 hours after intraperitoneal infection with 103 S. pneumoniae compared to 100% of wild-type and 0% survive after infection with 104 S. pneumoniae compared to 90% in wild-type

mortality/aging
• only 40% of homozygous mutants survive 48 hours after intraperitoneal infection with 103 S. pneumoniae compared to 100% of wild-type and 0% survive after infection with 104 S. pneumoniae compared to 90% in wild-type
