mortality/aging
• most mutants die between 14 and 24 months of age
|
neoplasm
• about 70% of mutants develop enlarged lymph notes or spleens infiltrated by abnormal lymphoid cells with vesicular nuclei, abundant cytoplasm and small nucleoli indicative of diffuse large B cell lymphoma; tumor cells are derived from CD5+ B-cells
|
hematopoietic system
• 81% of mutants have enlarged spleens
|
• marker analysis of early B-cell development indicates a 35% increase in the percentage of pre-B2 cells, a 22% and 73% reduction in the population of B cells expressing s-IgM in the bone marrow and spleen, respectively, and a reduction in the percentage of B cells with s-IgD, indicating aberrant B cell differentiation
|
• bone marrow shows a decrease in immature B cells
|
• 50% decrease in the percentage of CD19+ B cells in the spleen
• 20% increase in the percentage of B cells in the bone marrow and an even greater increase in the peripheral blood
|
• bone marrow shows a 35% increase in the percentage of pre-B2 cells
|
• white blood cell count is higher than in wild-type mice
|
• B cells do not undergo chemotaxis or morphological changes in response to the chemokine CXCL13
|
immune system
• 81% of mutants have enlarged spleens
|

|
• white blood cell count is higher than in wild-type mice
|
• B cells do not undergo chemotaxis or morphological changes in response to the chemokine CXCL13
|
• some mutants exhibit infiltrated leukocytes in the liver and the kidney, which contain a mixture of small T and B cells
|
liver/biliary system
• 56% of aged mutants exhibit hepatomegaly, with rough liver surfaces
|
cellular
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit smooth edges with few projections, reduced polarity, and altered actin cytoskeletal architecture compared with wild-type cells
|
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibit impaired cell spreading during attachment compared with wild-type cells
• upon PDGF treatment, MEFs develop more prominent dorsal ruffles compared with wild-type cells
• MEFs exhibit 50% less internalization of transferrin compared with wild-type cells
• however, cell proliferation is normal
|
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts form poor focal adhesions compared with wild-type cells
|
• in 0.2% serum medium
• however, migration is restored by the addition of PDGF, EGF, or 10% serum
|
growth/size/body
• 56% of aged mutants exhibit hepatomegaly, with rough liver surfaces
|
• 81% of mutants have enlarged spleens
