renal/urinary system
• atrophy, surface irregularities, necrosis, and fibrosis are seen in homozygous kidneys
|
• restricted occlusions are seen in some small or capillary blood vessels
• thickening of the intimal or medial smooth muscle layers is seen in some arterioles and interlobular, arcuate, and renal arteries resulting in narrowing or blockage of vessels
|
kidney cyst
(

)
• retraction of the renal cortex layer
|
• shedding of renal tubular cells is seen in the cortex
• restricted occlusions are seen in some renal tubules
|
• necrosis and fibrosis are seen in the medulla and cortex in a deltaic ship, with fibrosis also seen along renal tubules and blood vessels
|
• necrosis and fibrosis are seen in the medulla and cortex in a deltaic ship
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• in 10 week old mice, serum creatinine is increased to 0.61 +/- 0.13 mg/dl compared to 0.502 +/- 0.096 mg/dl in wild-type mice
|
• in 10 week old mice, BUN is increased to 41.7 +/- 16.0 mg/dl compared to 25.5 +/- 7.3 mg/dl in wild-type mice
|
• no detectable 6-keto PGF1alpha (the major hydrolytic product of PGI2) is found in the lungs
|
• levels of PGE2 are elevated
|
• levels of thromboxane B2 (a stable metabolite of TXA2) are elevated 3- to 5-fold in the plasma, kidney and lung
|
cardiovascular system
• in 23-25 week old homozygotes, the adventia of the thoracic aorta is increased in thickness by about 2.2-fold compared to wild-type mice
|
• in 23-25 week old homozygotes, the media of the thoracic aorta is increased in thickness by about 1.3-fold compared to wild-type mice
|
• in 23-25 week old homozygotes, the adventia and media of the thoracic aorta are increased in thickness compared to wild-type mice
|
• restricted occlusions are seen in some small or capillary blood vessels
• thickening of the intimal or medial smooth muscle layers is seen in some arterioles and interlobular, arcuate, and renal arteries resulting in narrowing or blockage of vessels
|
• blood pressure is increased by about 15 mm Hg in 16 week old homozygotes, but is not increased in 10 week old homozygotes
