mortality/aging
• homozygotes die between E12.5 and E13.5
|
cardiovascular system
• at E13.0 dysplasia of the cardiac tissues is seen
|
• the trabeculae are thinner than normal at E13.0
|
• the ventricular septum is thinner than normal at E13.0
|
• bloodstream velocity is decreased at E13.0 in living homozygotes
|
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is reduced, but no increase in apoptosis is detected
|
cellular
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is reduced, but no increase in apoptosis is detected
|
• proliferation of mutant MEFs is significantly slower
|
hematopoietic system
• at E11 and E12.5 increased apoptosis of embryonic blood cells in the liver and reduced size of blood cell colonies formed in a CFU assay are seen
|
• blood vessels in the yolk sac and embryo contain less blood at E13.5; however, vessel morphology is normal
|
liver/biliary system
• the liver appears pleiomorphic and spongiform at E11
|
muscle
• the trabeculae are thinner than normal at E13.0
|
