cardiovascular system
• cardiac myocyte disorganization, where myocytes form in a criss-crossed fashion, overlapping one another
• distention or separation of the myocardial and endocardial cell layers of the atria occurs at E17.5
• atrial trabecular formation is impaired such that trabeculae at E14.5 are short and stubby

muscle
• atrial trabecular formation is impaired such that trabeculae at E14.5 are short and stubby
• cultured embryonic muscle stem cells from E15.5 to E17.5 exhibit hyperproliferation and apoptosis
• Pax7+ skeletal muscle stem cell population is reduced and disorganized at E17.5
• myotubes are hypertrophic in E13.5-E17.5 muscles
• myonuclei of myotubes are closer together and exhibit severely disrupted myonuclei spacing and nuclei bunching, especially at the ends of myotubes, at E17.5
• only central nuclei (not peripheral) are present in E15.5 muscles
• myotubes contain 2x as many myonuclei as wild-type myotubes at E13.5-E17.5
• muscles exhibit an excess of myotubes at E13.5-E17.5
• however, no myotube fiber splitting is seen and intercostal myotubes are aligned correctly
• cardiac myocyte disorganization, where myocytes form in a criss-crossed fashion, overlapping one another
• only central nuclei (not peripheral) are present in E15.5 muscles

muscle
• loss of hind limb Pax7+ myoblasts at E17.5

• total myotube number per muscle is reduced
• high number of centrally located myonuclei at E17.5
• misalignment of myotubules in muscle at E13.5-E17.5
• high number of centrally located myonuclei at E17.5
• extensive loss of intercostal muscle fibers at E17.5 with reduced intercostal muscle fiber density
• 71.2% depletion of intercostal myotubes by E17.5
