The
data demonstrate that unique roles for IL - 15Rα and IL - 15 in vivo exist, since interruption
of IL - 15 signaling by deletion
of either IL - 15 or IL - 15Rα resulted in differing mouse
phenotypes.
These
data provide physiological evidence that loss
of IL - 15Rα initiates muscle remodeling, whereby the fast EDL muscle displays a more fatigue - resistant
phenotype, which was not observed in fast muscles from IL - 15 — KO mice or HSA - IL - 15TG mice.
Our
data demonstrate that loss
of IL - 15Rα results in a remodeling
of fast skeletal muscles to a more oxidative
phenotype that manifests as a greater exercise capacity and resistance to fatigue in mice due, in part, to adaptations in mitochondria —
phenotypes that were only observed in IL - 15Rα — KO mice.
Quantification
of several parameters confirmed altered morphology in fast skeletal muscles deficient in IL - 15Rα, and the
data support the hypothesis that loss
of IL - 15Rα promotes a slower, more oxidative muscle
phenotype.

From 2008 - 2010, he was supported by the CGGH to study phenotypic variation in the drug sensitivity
