mortality/aging
• mortality is increased after colonic anastomoses compared to wild-type
|
neoplasm
N |
• no differences in experimentally or spontaneously induced formation and growth of primary and metastasized tumors compared with wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma clots are lysed rapidly compared to wild-type in which clots are protected from lysis
|
• 38% and 63% of wounds on day 4 and 7, respectively, exhibited complete re-epithelialization compared to 89% and 100% in wild-type, however all completed re-epithelialization by day 15
|
• aberrant epithelial cell migration such that keratinocytes migrate down into the dermal layer rather than towards the other edge of the wound, resulting in prolonged wound healing
• form sinuses and keratinocyte inclusions in skin wounds which are not observed in wild-type
• healing of colonic anastomoses is impaired as indicated by decreased strength of tissue at the site of the suture, worse postoperative recovery and bleeding complications in 3 of 14 mice
