immune system
• there is increased percentage of CD4 T cells in the spleen that are activated based on surface marker expression (CD62Llo CD44hi)
(J:135154)
• mutants show an increase in IFN-gamma producing CD4+ T cells within sciatic nerves and the spleen, indicating a Th1 effector response
(J:188686)
|
• chemokines CXCL10, CCL2, and CCL5 are upregulated in sciatic nerves
|
• CXCL10 is upregulated in sciatic nerves
|
• diabetes mellitus occurs in females at an incidence rate (20%) similar to that observed in the NOD strain with wild-type Aire alleles
(J:135154)
|
• presence of autoantibodies in the sciatic nerve; autoantibodies are specific for myelin protein zero (P0)
|
• nerve infiltrates frequently consist of CD4+ Th cells and F4/80+ macrophages
• immune cell (mononuclear) infiltration into sciatic nerves, but not in brain or spinal cord
• while a previous study found that mice either develop diabetes or neuropathy, in this study mice with both diabetes and neuropathy are seen on a rare occasion and they exhibit moderate immune infiltration in the sciatic nerves
• mutants show an increase in IFN-gamma producing CD4+ T cells within sciatic nerves and the spleen, indicating a Th1 effector response
• mutants with spontaneous autoimmune diabetes that do not develop neuropathy do not show immune infiltration in the sciatic nerve
|
• mice 10 weeks of age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary glands
|
• severe thyroiditis is observed in mice 25 to 30 weeks in age
• some mice have complete obliteration of the thyroid follicles
• 25% of mice have at least half of their thyroid gland effaced
|
• mice 10 weeks of age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal glands
|
• mice 10 weeks have age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the pancreas
|
• lymphocytic infiltration of the CNS leads to hind limb paralysis by 22 weeks of age in 80% of mice
• mice develop either diabetes or neuropathy but are never observed having both conditions
|
behavior/neurological
• clasping of hind limbs indicates bilateral weakness
|
• about 80% of females develop spontaneous autoimmune neuropathy by 22 weeks of age, displaying bilateral weakness of the hind limbs that progresses to severe paralysis affecting all limbs
• diabetic mutants maintained on insulin rarely develop neuropathy
|
• progressive peripheral neuropathy results in hind limb paralysis by beginning at 17 weeks of age
• over 80% of mice exhibit this neuropathy by 22 weeks of age
• mice develop either diabetes or neuropathy but are never observed having both conditions
|
nervous system
• lymphocytic infiltration of the CNS leads to hind limb paralysis by 22 weeks of age in 80% of mice
• mice develop either diabetes or neuropathy but are never observed having both conditions
|
• about 80% of females develop spontaneous autoimmune neuropathy by 22 weeks of age
|
• lymphocytic infiltration occurs in the sciatic nerve of mice that have hind limb paralysis
(J:135154)
• immune cell (mononuclear) infiltration into sciatic nerves, but not in brain or spinal cord
(J:188686)
• multifocal areas of demyelination in the sciatic nerve
(J:188686)
|
• multifocal areas of demyelination in the sciatic nerve and demyelination of individual axons are seen
• a decrease in density of myelinated axons is seen in the sciatic nerve of neuropathic mutants
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• mice 10 weeks of age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary glands
|
• severe thyroiditis is observed in mice 25 to 30 weeks in age
• some mice have complete obliteration of the thyroid follicles
• 25% of mice have at least half of their thyroid gland effaced
|
• mice 10 weeks of age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal glands
|
• mice 10 weeks have age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the pancreas
|
vision/eye
• mice 10 weeks of age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal glands
|
digestive/alimentary system
• mice 10 weeks of age have severe lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary glands
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• chemokines CXCL10, CCL2, and CCL5 are upregulated in sciatic nerves
|
• CXCL10 is upregulated in sciatic nerves
|
hematopoietic system
• there is increased percentage of CD4 T cells in the spleen that are activated based on surface marker expression (CD62Llo CD44hi)
(J:135154)
• mutants show an increase in IFN-gamma producing CD4+ T cells within sciatic nerves and the spleen, indicating a Th1 effector response
