mortality/aging
• mice generally died on P1 or by early P2
|
behavior/neurological
• impaired motor skills
|
growth/size/body
• mice do not grow well and, by P1, become smaller than wild-type and develop a "failure-to-thrive" phenotype
|
nervous system
• many more neurons stain positively for activated caspase-3 in the brains of homozygous mice at P1
• the differences can be seen in the hippocampus at E18 and is also evident at P0
• in the hippocampus, most of these apoptotic neurons are found in stratum oriens and the pyramidal layer
|
• spine maturation of hippocampal neurons cultured in vitro for 10 days from E16-E17 embryos occurred earlier than in wild-type neurons, with dendrites exhibiting an increase in the number of protrusions
|
• neurons cultured in vitro for 9 days exhibited a higher frequency and larger amplitude of miniature EPSC than wild-type neurons
