reproductive system
• number of uterine natural killer cells is reduced in E8.5 decidual basalis
• at 8 months of age, the endometrium shows pathological changes resembling human endometrial hyperplasia
• however, the myometrial layers remain intact
• at 8 months of age, cystic dilation of endometrial glands containing eosin-stained substance is observed
• endometrial glands are variable in size and some contain stratified epithelial layers with nuclear atypia in some cases
• FOXA2 expression is reduced or partially lost in some glands at 2 months of age
• a slight level of endometrial gland crowding is noted in discrete regions, with intervening uterine stroma among glands shown to be sparse
• at 5 to 8 months of age, endometrial hyperplasia is observed in nulliparous female mice
• Ki-67 staining is increased in some abnormal endometrial glands or cystic glandular structures
• weight of uterine horns is increased, even at 1 month of age (before sexual maturity)
• at 1 and 2 months of age, uterus shows focal expression of basal cell markers KRT14 and TRP63 in a cell layer beneath luminal and/or glandular epithelial cells indicating focal formation of stratified uterine epithelium, unlike in wild-type uteri
• by 8 months of age, epithelial stratification is more extensive as shown by the presence of cells positively staining for KRT14, KRT5, KRT6A, and TRP63
• partial loss of FOXA2 expression is observed in the glandular epithelia at 2 months and no FOXA2 expression is detected in KRT14+ epithelial cells lining the luminal/glandular epithelia at 8 months
• basal-like epithelial cells (KRT14+ but KRT8-) lining some KRT8+ epithelial cells are detected at 8 months, and mRNA expression of basal cell markers is increased in uterine epithelia isolated at 1 month of age, indicating production of basal-like epithelial cells or a cell population expressing basal markers in the uterus
• females display parturition defects
• ~64% of females show signs of dystocia or difficulty in labor
• females mated with fertile males for a period of 6 months yield a decreased number of litters and litter size relative to controls
• however, blastocysts can be retrieved from uteri at ~E3.5 and implantation sites can be found at E8.5
• females mated with fertile males produce a smaller litter size than controls
