Cerebellar ataxia in Smad2tm1.1Nomu/Smad2tm1.1Nomu Tg(Nes-cre)1Kln/0 mice

mortality/aging
• mice do not survive beyond P24

nervous system
N
• granule cell proliferation is normal
• in the cerebellum and cerebrum at P7
• at P14, cerebellum morphology is severely compromised along the anteroposterior axis compared with wild-type mice
• however, morphology is normal at E16.5
• at E18.5, cerebellar foliation is abnormal compared with wild-type mice
• at P5, the cerebella lacks uvular sulcus 1 unlike wild-type mice
• at P7, dendritogenesis in the cerebella is retarded compared to in wild-type mice
• at P7 and P14, dendritic length is less than in wild-type mice
• at P14, dendritic arbors are less elaborate with fewer primary and secondary branches than in wild-type mice
• however, Purkinje cell dendrite length is restored by P14
• mice exhibit abnormal granule cell maturation compared with wild-type mice
• at P18, lobule IX is missing the uvular sulcus 1 unlike in wild-type mice
• extra fissure at P5
• divided in two at P14
• in the molecular layer at P7

behavior/neurological
• when walking
• mice maintain body balance by spreading their limbs farther apart than wild-type mice
• at P18
• mice exhibit irregular step alternation compared with wild-type mice
• at 1 week of age, mice walk slowly and often lose their balance and stop unlike wild-type mice

growth/size/body
• by P7, mice exhibit an inability to gain body weight unlike wild-type mice

cellular
• in the cerebellum and cerebrum at P7
