hematopoietic system
N |
• at 8 weeks of age, mice exhibit normal numbers and % of lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils relative to controls
• no pernicious anemia is observed, as WBC counts and spleen and liver size are normal
|
• slightly in response to ConA treatment
|
• hematocrit is slightly but significantly increased, esp. in female mice
|
cellular
• primary MEFs derived from E13.5 embryos exhibit decreased Akt activation upon stimulation with HGF
• however, in vivo, basal Akt activity is not significantly altered in stomach, liver or muscle tissues
|
• primary MEFs derived from E13.5 embryos exhibit reduced HGF-induced transmembrane migration and decreased movement in a wound-healing assay as well as markedly decreased HGF-triggered invasion in a matrigel assay
• in contrast, EGF-induced migration and invasion are normal
|
• slightly in response to ConA treatment
