hematopoietic system
• block in erythroblast development resulting in an increase in cells at development stage R2 and a decrease in R4 cell population in spleen and bone marrow 64 weeks post-piPC
|
• transplantation of bone marrow from mutants into lethally irradiated CD45.1 recipient mice that were treated with pIPC
results in lower peripheral blood chimerism
• chimerism is lower in LT-HSC to committed myeloid progenitors
• increase in long term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) in bone marrow 45 and 64 weeks post-piPC treatment, however, repopulating ability is decrease
• decrease in percentage of granulocyte/monocyte progenitors
|
• progressive macrocytic anemia develops following pIPC injection
• anemia is present 4-8 weeks post-injection and is severe by 20 weeks
|
• lower percentage of hematopoietic and stem progenitor cells in G1 and a higher percentage in G0 in vitro (24 weeks post-pIPC) as compared to control
|
• decrease in percentage of granulocyte/monocyte progenitors in aged mice
|
• increase in erythroid precursors in spleens is observed at 64 weeks post-pIPC
• erythroid dysplasia in spleens is observed at 47 weeks post-pIPC
|
• total red blood cell number is decreased beginning at 20 weeks post-pIPC injection
• no differences in total white blood cell count, mature white blood cell lineages or platelet counts
|
• beginning at 20 weeks post-pIPC injectio
|
macrocytosis
(
J:234976
)
• macrocytosis is apparent at 20 weeks post-pIPC injection
|
• increase in long term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) in bone marrow 64 weeks post-piPC treatment, however, repopulating ability is decreased
• no differences in short-term hematopoietic stem cells, multi potent progenitors, common myeloid progenitors, megakaryocytic/erythroid progenitors or colony forming units at 64 weeks post-pIPC
• increase in multi-potent progenitors (MPP) in bone marrow at 12 weeks, but not 45 weeks post-piPC treatment
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma erythropoietin levels are increased and persist for longer than 60 weeks post-pIPC as compared to wild-type
|
immune system
• transplantation of bone marrow from mutants into lethally irradiated CD45.1 recipient mice that were treated with pIPC
results in lower peripheral blood chimerism
• chimerism is lower in LT-HSC to committed myeloid progenitors
• increase in long term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) in bone marrow 45 and 64 weeks post-piPC treatment, however, repopulating ability is decrease
• decrease in percentage of granulocyte/monocyte progenitors
|
mortality/aging
• 2 mice (18%) die by 64 weeks post piPC no wild-type mice die during this time
