immune system
• mice spontaneously develop a systemic lupus erythematosus-like disease with elevated autoantibody production by 9 months and kidney damage by 12 months of age
|
• mice show increased anti-sM autoantibodies, with females showing higher levels than males
|
• mice show increased levels of anti-nuclear antibodies in the blood at 9 months of age
• mice show increased levels of anti-nucleosome antibodies at 9 months of age, with females producing higher levels than males
|
• females show an increase in anti-dsDNA autoantibodies in the circulation
|
• males show an increase in anti-histone antibodies in the circulation
|
• 80% of females and 60% of males exhibit glomerulonephritis at 12 months of age compared to 32% and 16% of wild-type females and males, respectively
• mice with glomerulonephritis show deposition of IgG and C3 in glomeruli
|
renal/urinary system
• 12 month old mice exhibit kidney damage, showing accumulation of immune cells around blood vessels (perivascular infiltration), damaged glomerulus, and immune complex deposition in kidneys
• females show more severely damaged kidneys than males
|
• 80% of females and 60% of males exhibit glomerulonephritis at 12 months of age compared to 32% and 16% of wild-type females and males, respectively
• mice with glomerulonephritis show deposition of IgG and C3 in glomeruli
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• serum creatinine levels are increased in 12 month old mice
