endocrine/exocrine glands
• induction of Tcf3 beginning on P1 impairs the end stage of sebaceous gland differentiation
|
• 48 hours after doxycycline treatment, numbers of sebocytes are reduced
|
• by 4 days of doxycycline administration, sebocytes are no longer detected
|
digestive/alimentary system
• when pregnant double transgenic mice are administered doxycycline when the embryos are E13.5, epidermal differentiation in the tongue of pups is significantly impaired when examined at P1; the differentiation marker loricrin is reduced in the epithelium, while the simple epithelial marker K8 shows significant induction of expression
|
craniofacial
• when pregnant double transgenic mice are administered doxycycline when the embryos are E13.5, epidermal differentiation in the tongue of pups is significantly impaired when examined at P1; the differentiation marker loricrin is reduced in the epithelium, while the simple epithelial marker K8 shows significant induction of expression

integument
• induction of Tcf3 beginning on P1 impairs the end stage of sebaceous gland differentiation
|
• 48 hours after doxycycline treatment, numbers of sebocytes are reduced
|
• by 4 days of doxycycline administration, sebocytes are no longer detected
|
• after induction of Tcf3 with doxycycline treatment beginning on P1, hair follicle maturation is impaired; follicle downgrowth appears to arrest with Tcf3 induction
|
• when skin from doxycycline-treated P transgenic is transplanted onto control mice, by day 27 specified follicles have undergone degeneration and fail to reenter the hair cycle
• epidermis and residual established hair follicles in grafts have developed into large masses of undifferentiated epithelial cells lacking all markers of epidermal terminal differentiation
|
• keratohyalin granules, loricrin, and involucrin are dramatically reduced within 4 days of doxycycline administration starting on P1
• flattened squames are present at the skin surface; these appear to be dead keratinocytes
|
• within 4 days of doxycycline administration starting on P1, thick filament bundles characteristic of spinous layer K1/K10 filaments are barely detectable
|
• epidermal differentiation is severely diminished within 4 days of doxycycline administration (resulting in Tcf3 induction) starting at postnatal day 1
|
growth/size/body
• when pregnant double transgenic mice are administered doxycycline when the embryos are E13.5, epidermal differentiation in the tongue of pups is significantly impaired when examined at P1; the differentiation marker loricrin is reduced in the epithelium, while the simple epithelial marker K8 shows significant induction of expression
