mortality/aging
• no homozygotes survive beyond E11.5
|
cardiovascular system
• atretic and disorganized
|
• intersomitic vessels are atretic and disorganized
|
• homozygotes display disruption of vascular development between E9.5 and E10.5
|
• disorganized and atretic
|
• homozygotes display defective endothelial remodeling between E9.5 and E10.5
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes still display an immature perineural vascular plexus that fails to undergo endothelial remodeling
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes display multiple pockets of red blood cells on the surface of yolk sacs; no organized vitelline blood vessels are observed
|
• as early as E9.5, homozygotes display poor vascular smooth muscle formation in embryonic tissues; a similar defect is noted at E8.5 in mutant yok sacs
• arrested vascular smooth muscle development in mutant yolk sacs precedes disruption of endothelial remodeling
|
• at E10.5, the major vessels including the dorsal aortae, intersomitic vessels, branchial arches, and carotid arteries are atretic and disorganized
|
• at E10.5, the mutant heart tube continues to circulate blood but fails to undergo complete rotation
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit serosanguinous pericardial effusion
|
embryo
• at E10.5, homozygotes display multiple pockets of red blood cells on the surface of yolk sacs; no organized vitelline blood vessels are observed
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes are 3 times smaller than wild-type embryos
|
• at E10.5, homozygotes contain only 18-22 somites while wild-type embryos contain 32-35 somites
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5, homozygotes are 3 times smaller than wild-type embryos
|
muscle
• as early as E9.5, homozygotes display poor vascular smooth muscle formation in embryonic tissues; a similar defect is noted at E8.5 in mutant yok sacs
• arrested vascular smooth muscle development in mutant yolk sacs precedes disruption of endothelial remodeling
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5, homozygotes exhibit serosanguinous pericardial effusion
