hematopoietic system
• dense granules show an abnormal dense core having a very small, linear, or poorly condensed appearance instead of a typical bulls-eye appearance
• deficiency in dense granule biogenesis is already seen at the megakaryocyte stage in the bone marrow
• however, alpha granules have a normal appearance
|
• platelets show a total 75% decrease in ADP and 50% decrease in ATP content, thus the ATP/ADLP ratio is twice that of wild-type mice
|
• platelets show a total 75% decrease in ADP and 50% decrease in ATP content, thus the ATP/ADLP ratio is twice that of wild-type mice
|
• dense granule formation in platelets is impaired
• 70% decrease in the total number of dense granules in platelets
|
• dense granule 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) storage is almost abolished in platelets
• however, total platelet factor 4 (PF4), P-selectin, fibrinogen, and VWF levels are normal in platelets
|
• platelets under flow form only a layer over the surface with no growth in height, indicating that initial platelet attachment is normal but is followed by a defect in thrombus growth
• -platelets exhibit decreased lysosomal exocytosis
|

• -platelets exhibit decreased lysosomal exocytosis
|
• mice are resistant to thromboembolism induced by tissue factor administration
• thrombosis resulting from vessel injury is severely impaired
• thrombosis is impaired in a FeCl3-induced injury in the carotid, with no thrombus growth at all
|
• mice show an increase in bleeding time in a tail bleeding assay, with no cessation of bleeding after 30 minutes
|
integument
• mice exhibit severe coat color dilution, presenting a light beige pigmentation
|
pigmentation
• mice exhibit severe coat color dilution, presenting a light beige pigmentation
|
• mice exhibit severe eye dilution, presenting red eyes
|
respiratory system
• mice show impaired lung alveolar structure
|
• mice show alveolar type II cells containing enlarged lamellar bodies
|
• mice exhibit lung epithelium damage as evidenced by thickening of alveolar septa
|
vision/eye
• mice exhibit severe eye dilution, presenting red eyes
|
cellular
• platelets show a total 75% decrease in ADP and 50% decrease in ATP content, thus the ATP/ADLP ratio is twice that of wild-type mice
