integument
• in P60 animals, hair follicle structures are retained in absence of external hair, but display abnormalities including cyst formation
|
• cre induction at P4 causes hair follicle regression by P14 without loss of bulge stem cell markers
|
• when doxycline induction is performed from P4 to P18, epidermis exhibits increased proliferation as well as expanded expression of basal and suprabasal markers and hyperproliferation markers
• when doxycline induction is performed from P4 to P18, enlargement of intercellular spaces and some cell membrane protrusions are observed in some areas of mutant skins at P60
• defects of the interfollicular epidermis similar to those observed in conditional Ctnnb1 mutants are seen in induced mutants
|
immune system
• with doxycycline induction from P4-P18, mast cell number in the dermis is increased at P60
|
hematopoietic system
• with doxycycline induction from P4-P18, mast cell number in the dermis is increased at P60
