mortality/aging
• die at around E10.5
|
growth/size/body
• embryos show a pronounced delay in posterior development, with some showing incomplete embryonic turning
|
embryo
• blood vessels fail to invade the placental labyrinth
|
• seen in some embryos
|
• at E9.5, embryos display growth arrest at the 16-to 20-somite stage
|
• embryos show a pronounced delay in posterior development, with some showing incomplete embryonic turning
|
• the forebrain neural tube is degenerated, with abundant pyknotic and fragmented nuclei
|
• somites are poorly defined, with signs of apoptosis
|
• embryos fail to remodel the primary vascular plexus to form large and small blood vessels of the mature yolk sac
|
cardiovascular system
• intersomitic blood vessels are poorly defined, with signs of apoptosis
|
• blood vessels fail to invade the placental labyrinth
|
• exhibit a marked reduction in vessel organization and a persistent, immature vascular plexus, suggesting a block in vascular maturation and angiogenic remodeling
• intact vasculogenesis but impaired secondary angiogenic sprouting and remodeling
|
• embryos show a decreased number of branching blood vessels throughout the embryo
|
• the anterior cardinal vein appears hypoplastic
|
• the heart displays delayed looping beginning at E9.5
|
• pericardial effusion is seen at E9.5 but not earlier
|
hemorrhage
(
J:100449
)
• starting at E9.5, there is intraembryonic hemorrhage into the pericardium and tails
|
• starting at E9.5, there is intraembryonic hemorrhage into the pericardium
|
nervous system
• the forebrain neural tube is degenerated, with abundant pyknotic and fragmented nuclei
|
cellular
• widespread apoptosis in neural cells and the inner endothelial lining of the aorta
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• pericardial effusion is seen at E9.5 but not earlier
|
• starting at E9.5, there is intraembryonic hemorrhage into the pericardium
