mortality/aging
• following treatment with 10 mg/kg mitomycin C 90% of homozygotes die unlike similarly treated wild-type and heterozygous mice that tolerate this dose well
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• following treatment with 10 mg/kg mitomycin C 90% of homozygotes die unlike similarly treated wild-type and heterozygous mice that tolerate this dose well
|
• MEFs are hypersensitive to mitomycin C and also more sensitive to acetaldehyde and formaldehyde indicating a defect in interstrand cross-link repair
• mice treated with 10 mg/kg mitomycin C show increased weight loss and mortality following treatment
• mice treated with 10 mg/kg mitomycin C show depletion of hematopoietic progenitor cells by 7 days after treatment resulting in pronounced hypocellularity of the bone marrow, neutropenia and cytopenia
|
renal/urinary system
N |
• despite karyomegaly, no increases in the levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, phosphorus, or magnesium are detected
|
• karyomegaly is detectable at 6 months of age and increases with age
• proportion of cells with larger than median nuclear size increases more than twofold to 29% of cells by 12 months of age
• karyomegaly is seen in tubular cells but not glomeruli
|
liver/biliary system
• at 18 months of age, a large fraction (>50%) of hepatocyte nuclei are significantly enlarged
|
• indicated by increased alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels with decreased albumin and globulin levels in older mice with karyomegalic hepatocytes
|
hematopoietic system
N |
• no signs of bone marrow dysfunction are detected at 3 or 18 months of age
|
• increased sensitivity to mitomycin C induced hematopoietic progenitor cell death
|
cellular
• karyomegaly in hepatocytes and renal tubular cells but not in the spleen in older mice
|
polyploidy
(
J:232402
)
• kidney and liver cells with enlarged nuclei show signs of polyploidy
|
• at 18 months of age, a large fraction (>50%) of hepatocyte nuclei are significantly enlarged
