reproductive system
• ovaries contained few or no developing primary follicles
|
small testis
(
J:240463
)
• lumina of seminiferous tubules largely devoid of maturing sperm
• caudal epididymis contains few if any mature spermatids
• there are normal numbers of diplotene spermatocytes
|
• reduced numbers of pachytene stage cells and increase in the number of abnormal pachytene-like cells with irregular synapses
• reduction in the number of metaphase I cells
|
• irregular synaptic behavior including gaps, breaks and entangled chromosomes
• reduced ability to synapse homologous chromosomes
• reduced crossing-over between homologous chromosomes
• reduced number of Dmc1 foci in late zygotene and early pachytene spermatocytes
• spermatocytes form a proper sex body and there are a normal number of Mlh1 foci in spermatocytes
|
• sevenfold reduction
• fewer and smaller litters
|
• threefold reduction
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increase in chromosomal aberrations in primary B cells treated with Parp inhibitor olaparib compromised homologous recombination-mediated double-strand break repair in both meiotic and mitotically growing cells
• reduction in markers of double-strand break repair following induction of breaks in MEFs
|
• mice exposed to whole-body ionizing radiation showed an approximately two-fold survival decrease in both sexes
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• ovaries contained few or no developing primary follicles
|
small testis
(

• lumina of seminiferous tubules largely devoid of maturing sperm
• caudal epididymis contains few if any mature spermatids
• there are normal numbers of diplotene spermatocytes
|
mortality/aging
• mice exposed to whole-body ionizing radiation showed an approximately two-fold survival decrease in both sexes
|
immune system
N |
• normal splenic B cell numbers, frequencies and proliferation
• normal B cell class-switching to IgG1 and IgG3
• no differences in IgG1, IgG3 or IgM levels in blood serum
|
cellular
N |
• primary MEFs proliferated normally
|
• irregular synaptic behavior including gaps, breaks and entangled chromosomes
• reduced ability to synapse homologous chromosomes
• reduced crossing-over between homologous chromosomes
• reduced number of Dmc1 foci in late zygotene and early pachytene spermatocytes
• spermatocytes form a proper sex body and there are a normal number of Mlh1 foci in spermatocytes
|
• persistence of Trp53bp1 foci in MEFs after subjection to ionizing radiation
|
• increase in chromosomal aberrations in primary B cells treated with Parp inhibitor olaparib compromised homologous recombination-mediated double-strand break repair in both meiotic and mitotically growing cells
• reduction in markers of double-strand break repair following induction of breaks in MEFs
