immune system
• reduction in the recruitment of macrophages to wound sites
• 38% increase in the number of T cells that adhere to an ICAM-1 coated surface
• 41% and 27% reduction in chemotactic migration of T cells toward SDF-1alpha after 2 and 4 hours of adhesion, respectively
• reduction in the recruitment of T cells to wound sites

cellular
• primary dermal fibroblasts have an increase in the number of actin stress fibers and vinculin-positive focal adhesion contacts, however see no alterations in tubulin and vimentin network
• reduction in the recruitment of macrophages to wound sites
• in an in vitro wound healing assay, primary dermal fibroblasts migrate considerably slower than wild-type
• chemotaxis of primary dermal fibroblasts towards PDGF in a Boyden chamber is reduced to 60%

homeostasis/metabolism
• by day 5 after wounding, a lower cell density is observed at wound sites, however this difference is hardly noticeable by 7 and 10 days
• reduction in the recruitment of macrophages and T cells, but not neutrophils, to wound sites
• in an in vitro wound healing assay, primary dermal fibroblasts migrate considerably slower than wild-type

muscle
N
• no obvious pathologies in the soleus at 1 year of age

integument
N
• do not exhibit skin defects such as skin blistering that is seen in Plec1 null mice

hematopoietic system
• reduction in the recruitment of macrophages to wound sites
• 38% increase in the number of T cells that adhere to an ICAM-1 coated surface
• 41% and 27% reduction in chemotactic migration of T cells toward SDF-1alpha after 2 and 4 hours of adhesion, respectively
• reduction in the recruitment of T cells to wound sites
