behavior/neurological
• mutants show reduced activity by 2-3 months of age
|
cardiovascular system
• cardiac hypertrophy that is similar to single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• hearts do not exhibit an increase in contractility as the heart rate is increased and cannot be efficiently paced beyond 50-55 bpm
• beta-adrenergic stimulation of contractility and relaxation are reduced in mutants relative to both wild-type and single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• beta-adrenergic stimulation of contractility and relaxation are reduced in mutants relative to both wild-type and single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• systolic left ventricular pressure is lower compared with wild-type mice or Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants under basal conditions and after beta-adrenergic stimulation
|
• mutants are less able than single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants to achieve or sustain heart rates at the higher frequencies
|
• during beta-adrenergic stimulation via infusion of dobutamine, heart rate is reduced in mutants compared with wild-type mice or single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• mean arterial pressure is reduced under both basal and stimulated conditions
|
• mutants appear sicker than single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mice at 2-3 months of age and exhibit a negative force-frequency response (FFR) compared to wild-type mice which show a positive FFR, an indicator of heart failure
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• thoracic fluid is increased compared to wild-type mice and single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• amplitude of the calcium transient is reduced in myocytes and time to 50% decay of the calcium transient is greater in myocytes, indicating impaired calcium handling compared to wild-type or single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants

integument
rough coat
(
J:171021
)
• seen by 2-3 months of age
|
mortality/aging
• reduction in survival
|
muscle
• hearts do not exhibit an increase in contractility as the heart rate is increased and cannot be efficiently paced beyond 50-55 bpm
• beta-adrenergic stimulation of contractility and relaxation are reduced in mutants relative to both wild-type and single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• beta-adrenergic stimulation of contractility and relaxation are reduced in mutants relative to both wild-type and single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
respiratory system
• left lung weight/body weight ratio is increased compared to wild-type mice but elevated to the same degree as in single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• labored breathing is observed by 2-3 months of age
|
growth/size/body
• cardiac hypertrophy that is similar to single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
|
• left lung weight/body weight ratio is increased compared to wild-type mice but elevated to the same degree as in single Tg(Myh6-Tpm1*E180G)57Dfw mutants
