hematopoietic system
• in mature mice
|
• severe at P4
|
• fewer enucleated CD71+TER119+ erythroid progenitor and precursor cells (CECs) and higher percentage of nucleated red blood cells in the blood at P4
• adult mice blood and spleen exhibit increased fraction of polychromatic (stage III) CECs and decreased fractions of orthochromatic (stage IV) CECs and reticulocytes (stage V) compared to adult mice
• however, normal numbers of CECs are present in the blood and bone marrow
|
• in the spleen of mature mice
|
• at P2, red blood cells exhibit nucleation at various maturation stages with dilated perinuclear space, double membranes, and nuclear cytoplasmic intrusions unlike wild-type cells
|
• partial maturation block or delay at the transition from polychromatic to orthochromatic erythroblast
|
• in adult mice
|
• in adult mice
|
• in adult mice
|
• with increased macrocytes
• however, adult mice exhibit normal sized erythrocytes
|
• with occasional pyrenocytes and giant multinucleated cells
|
growth/size/body
• at P1 to P3
|
• at P1 to P3
• however, adult mice exhibit normal body weights
|
integument
• at P1 to P3
• by P4, the discoloration is restricted to the ear lobes and paws
|
homeostasis/metabolism
N |
• mice exhibit low levels of bilirubin indicating hemolysis is unlikely to contribute to the phenotype
• adult mice exhibit normal iron, ferritin, and serum biochemistry
|
skeleton
N |
• mice exhibit normal skeletal phenotype
