N | normal phenotype |
• 70-80% die by 4 weeks and all die by 6 weeks of age
|
• mice start to die around 2 weeks of age
|
• mean liver weight-to-body weight ratio is increased
|
• marker analysis shows no, or rare, bile ducts in the periportal zone of the liver
|
• liver is yellowish
• targeting of tight junctions and apical molecules is disrupted in the liver
• marker analysis indicates that liver zonation is perturbed
• however, no liver inflammation or fibrosis are seen
|
• the lumina of the sinusoidal vessels are not clear
• marker analysis shows that sinusoidal vessels in the liver are injured
|
• mean liver weight-to-body weight ratio is increased
|
• the hepatic cords are not well-organized in the liver
|
• normal bile canaliculi are hardly seen
|
• individual hepatocytes appear slightly swollen with vacuole-like structures inside
• hepatocytes exhibit ectopic luminal structures around their basolateral domains
• hepatocyte cellular polarity is disrupted, with an unclear distinction between the apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains
|
• mice show disruption of the hepatic barrier
• bile transport into bile canaliculi is diminished
|
• mice show an increase in Ki-67+ hepatocytes, indicating increased hepatocyte proliferation
|
