mortality/aging
• approximately 5% are cannibalized shortly after birth, putatively after perinatal death
|
• incomplete penetrance
• 20% die within the first 10 days after birth
• lethality is not rescued by transfer to foster mothers
|
muscle
• quadriceps muscle show less subsarcolemmal mitochondria compared to controls
|
• 6 month old mice exhibit increased sarcoplasmic reticulum compartments in quadriceps muscle and gastrocnemius, with toxic oligomers and tubular aggregates, but not in soleus
|
• muscle fiber composition in the gastrocnemius is affected, with most fibers having high levels of diffuse staining for ATPase and higher levels of COX content and strong NADH-TR staining
|
behavior/neurological
• mice show a decrease in fluid intake, with cumulative fluid intake approximately 2.5-fold less than controls
|
renal/urinary system
• increase in urine chloride level
• however, when urinary electrolyte concentrations are normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• increase in urine potassium concentration
• however, when urinary electrolyte concentrations are normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• increase in urine sodium level
• however, when urinary electrolyte concentrations are normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• osmolality of spontaneous voided urine is higher, with average urine osmolality 1.5-fold greater than controls
• however, baseline serum electrolytes are normal
|
• increase in urine baseline urea level
• however, when normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
cellular
• fibroblasts show diminished responses to stress
• viability of fibroblasts after heat shock is reduced compared to wild-type and mutants only develop partial thermotolerance after preconditioning with a sublethal heat challenge
|
• apoptosis is observed in the thymii of deceased neonates
• increase in apoptosis of GI tract cells and splenocytes after thermal challenge
|
• evidence of massive thymocyte apoptosis in deceased neonates
|
immune system
• evidence of massive thymocyte apoptosis in deceased neonates
|
• atrophied in deceased neonates
|
• observe only in deceased neonates
|
hematopoietic system
• evidence of massive thymocyte apoptosis in deceased neonates
|
• atrophied in deceased neonates
|
• observe only in deceased neonates
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• increase in urine chloride level
• however, when urinary electrolyte concentrations are normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• increase in urine potassium concentration
• however, when urinary electrolyte concentrations are normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• increase in urine sodium level
• however, when urinary electrolyte concentrations are normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• osmolality of spontaneous voided urine is higher, with average urine osmolality 1.5-fold greater than controls
• however, baseline serum electrolytes are normal
|
• increase in urine baseline urea level
• however, when normalized to creatinine, no differences are seen
|
• 100% of mutants die rapidly, either during or immediately after a thermal challenge of 42 degrees C for 15 minutes, putatively due to fluid shifts or endotoxemia resulting from compromised GI barrier
• mutants exhibit temperature sensitivity as indicated by impaired responses to thermal challenge resulting in stress-responsive lesions such as edema, hyperemia, increased apoptosis and small intestinal damage
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• evidence of massive thymocyte apoptosis in deceased neonates
|
• atrophied in deceased neonates
|
• observe only in deceased neonates
