growth/size/body
• 10 week old mice show a 10% decrease in the thickness of the auricular cartilage
|
floppy ears
(
J:254384
)
• floppy ears that are most noticeable in the first week of life, however ear size is normal
|
immune system
• mice exhibit increased susceptibility to osteoarthritis caused by medial menisectomy to destabilize the knee, showing worse destruction of the medial articular surface of the tibia and femur
• however, no difference in angiogenesis or inflammation is seen in the injured joint following medial menisectomy
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• primary chondrocytes from joints are more susceptible to TNF-alpha/actinomycin D induced apoptosis than wild-type chondrocytes
|
skeleton
N |
• mice exhibit normal bone density and bony skeleton morphology
|
• mice show increased number of apoptotic chondrocytes on the medial tibial and femoral articular surfaces of knees after medial menisectomy
• primary chondrocytes from joints are more susceptible to TNF-alpha/actinomycin D induced apoptosis than wild-type chondrocytes

• however, no difference in angiogenesis or inflammation is seen in the injured joint following medial menisectomy
|
• thickness of the knee articular cartilage is reduced by 10-15%
• however, cartilage is biomechanically similar to wild-type cartilage
