digestive/alimentary system
• aberrant, disorganized granules as well as decreased granule numbers are observed in these mice
• virtually all Paneth cells have lysozyme localized throughout the cell instead of being discretely packaged within vesicles
• Paneth cells also have degenerating mitochondria, loss of granules and the frequent absence of apical microvilli
• adjacent crypt lumen often contains intact Paneth granules and cytoplasm, which is a phenomenon not observed in wild-type controls
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• autophagy by the ileal epithelium and thymocytes is severely reduced in these mice

reproductive system
N |
• when mated with wild-type males of proven fertility, females show normal fertility with no significant differences in the number of pups per litter relative to controls
• in culture, hormonally stimulated endometrial cells show normal decidualization with increased mRNA expression of the decidualization marker Prp
• in vivo, upon oil-induced artificial decidualization, stimulated uterine horns exhibit increased uterine weight, indicative of proper decidualization
