mortality/aging
• beginning at 3 weeks, mice exhibit a progressive decrease in survival that is more pronounced in females
• survival at 18 months is reduced to 87% in males compared to 100% in wild-type mice
• survival at 18 months is reduced to 51% in females compared to 80% in wild-type mice
• premature death is preceded by a 3 week period of moderate weight loss, rough coat, and lethargy
|
renal/urinary system
• more females than male mice (40% vs 19%) exhibit inflammatory cell infiltrates at the cortical-medullary junction unlike wild-type mice
|
• kidney abnormalities increase in frequency with age
• at 6 months, 90% of mice exhibit renal pathology
|
• mice develop fibrotic thickening of Bowman's capsules unlike wild-type mice
|
• mice develop focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and PAS+ glomerular hyaline thrombi that is more common in females than in males (40% vs 15%)
|
• mice exhibit glomerular hypertrophy unlike in wild-type mice
• however, glomerular filtration is normal
|
• more males than females (75% vs 13%) exhibit degenerative changes in proximal tubules unlike in wild-type mice
|
renal cast
(

)
• mice exhibit renal intratubular casts
|
pale kidney
(

)
liver/biliary system
• mice frequently develop lobular and periportal inflammation unlike in wild-type mice
|
• hepatocytes exhibit membrane irregularities and intranuclear inclusions unlike in wild-type mice
|
• mice develop microvesicular and mixed pattern hepatic steatosis
|

|
immune system
• mice frequently develop lobular and periportal inflammation unlike in wild-type mice
