growth/size/body
• mice develop splenomegaly by 16 weeks of age
|
hematopoietic system
• mice develop splenomegaly by 16 weeks of age
|
• increase in total colony formation, particularly in the number of granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) progenitor cells
|
• decrease in bone marrow erythropoiesis and an increase in splenic erythropoiesis
|
• CD41/CD61-positive megakaryocytes are increased in the bone marrow and spleen
• greatly increased magakaryopoiesis at 16 weeks of age
|
• increase in total colony formation, particularly in the number of megakaryocyte (CFU-MK) progenitor cells
|
• mice show increased red-cell distribution width without differences in mean cell volume at 22 weeks of age, indicating premyelofibrosis
|
• neutrophilia is seen at 8 weeks of age which gets worse by 16 weeks of age
• however no differences in red blood cell or total lymphocyte count is seen
|
• thrombocytosis is seen at 8 weeks of age which gets worse by 16 weeks of age
|
• reduction in the number of CD3-positive T cells in the bone marrow and spleen
|
• blood fails to agglutinate in the presence of ristocetin compared to wild-type
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• plasma levels of von Willebrand Factor (VWF) are normal, however distribution of VWF multimers is different, with mice showing a reduction in ultralarge multimers and a compensatory increase in the levels of smaller VWF multimers
|
• blood aggregates quicker and to a greater extent in response to a combination of epinephrine and ADP or collagen than whole blood from wild-type mice, however this is due to increased platelet numbers and not due to increased aggregation and platelets appear to have normal function
|
• blood fails to agglutinate in the presence of ristocetin compared to wild-type
|
• mice fail to occlude in response to FeCl3 injury over a 30 minute period indicating severely attenuated thrombosis following injury; while platelets adhere to injury site, the platelet plug appears to fail to propagate into an occlusive thrombus
|
• increase in bleeding time following injury to the tail compared to wild-type mice
|
immune system
• mice develop splenomegaly by 16 weeks of age
|
• neutrophilia is seen at 8 weeks of age which gets worse by 16 weeks of age
• however no differences in red blood cell or total lymphocyte count is seen
|
• reduction in the number of CD3-positive T cells in the bone marrow and spleen
|
skeleton
• predominant cell type in the bone marrow is GR1/Mac-1-positive myeloid cells
|
• mice develop extensive bone marrow osteopetrosis by 32 weeks of age
