immune system
• at week 12, IgG and IgE levels are 5- and 4-fold higher respectively in mutants compared to wild-type
|
integument
• mice develop early hair loss observed around the eyes and the dorsal skin at weeks 3 to 5
|
• phenotype of adult mutant epidermis is identical to that observed in Rargtm1Ipc newborns
|
• at week 5, mice show a dense dermal hyperplasia
|
• mutants show a weaker infiltration of the dermis
|
• in mutants neutral lipids are distributed unevenly along the cornified layer of the epidermis
• with treatment with the Ppard agonist L165041, epidermis of adult mice is similar to control mice with lipids forming a continuous ribbon on top of the cornified layer
|
• granular keratinocytes in mutants contain vesicles devoid of lamellae or with disorganized lamellae
• disorganized lamellae form aggregates at the apical pole of granular keratinocytes
|
• at week 5, mice show a dense dermal hyperplasia and hyperplasic epidermis
|
hematopoietic system
• at week 12, IgG and IgE levels are 5- and 4-fold higher respectively in mutants compared to wild-type
