mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos are present at E9.5 but absent at E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
• vascular branching and sprouting are impaired and the complexity of the vascular network is decreased; however the number of pericytes surrounding the blood vessels is normal and no gaps are seen in the vascular endothelial cells
|
• at E9.5 the vitteline vasculature fails to reorganize into a mature branched network; however, the immature plexus forms normally
|
• absent myocardial trabeculations at E9.5
|
• at E9.5 the endothelium lining the myocardium is less intricately folded and the endocardial lining appears collapsed and retracted from the myocardial wall
|
embryo
• at E9.5 the vitteline vasculature fails to reorganize into a mature branched network; however, the immature plexus forms normally
|
hematopoietic system
• multilineage hematopoietic stem cell clusters in the omphalomesenteric and vitelline arteries are absent and the number of hematopoietic cells produced in vitro is severely reduced
|
muscle
• absent myocardial trabeculations at E9.5
