Analysis Tools
mortality/aging
|
• the surviving mice all die neonatally
|
|
• some mice die between E13.5 and E15.5
|
renal/urinary system
|
• from E18.5 to birth kidneys show increased apoptosis (3-fold at E18.5 and 4-fold at E19.5) with an explosive increase in apoptosis is seen at P0
• however, no increase in apoptosis is observed before E14.5
|
|
• ~6-fold increase in immunoreactivity for Ki67 in proliferative cell populations of the kidney cortex at E18.5
|
|
• renal hypoplasia with decreased numbers of elarged renal glomeruli and dilated renal tubules
• however, the rest of the urogenital system (adrenal glands and bladder) is normal
|
|
• embryos have fewer glomeruli that are often also enlarged
• however, numbers are relatively normal in proportion to the smaller kidney size
|
|
• embryos have fewer glomeruli that are often also enlarged
|
|
• from E18.5 to birth kidneys show increased apoptosis (3-fold at E18.5 and 4-fold at E19.5) with an explosive increase in apoptosis is seen at P0
• at E18.5, increased proliferation is also observed
|
|
• at E18.5 over 90% of mice have bilateral hypoplastic kidneys
|
|
• at E18.5, 2 of 31 mice display unilateral renal agenesis
|
|
• ex vivo ureteric buds from E12.5 embryos grow slower, are smaller, show increased apoptosis and have a higher proliferation index than wild-type after 5 days in culture
|
|
• in explants, the number of bifurcations is considerably reduced in metanephroi, these bifurcations are less defined
|
|
• impaired elongation of ureter in cultured ureteric bud explants
|
|
• ex vivo ureteric buds from E12.5 embryos are smaller
|
respiratory system
|
• decreased branching of terminal bronchioles
|
|
• absence of alveolar formation at E18.5
|
|
• mice delivered by cesarean section at E18.5 fail to breathe
|
nervous system
|
• increased resistance of cortical neurons to menadione- and thapsigargin-induced apoptosis
• however, sensitivity to apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation, staurosporine, or hydrogen peroxide is similar to wild-type cortical neurons
|
|
• increased proliferation in ventricular zones and other regions of the brain, including in the midbrain at E12.5 and in the neopallial cortex at E 14.5
• however, despite the increase in proliferation neurons in the proper stae of differentiation are seen
|
|
• increased cellular proliferation at E12.5
• enlargement of the midbrain at E14.5 in exencephalic mice
|
|
• enlargement of the telencephalon at E14.5 in exencephalic mice
|
exencephaly
(
J:119857
)
|
• seen in many embryos at E12.5 - E14.5
|
homeostasis/metabolism
|
• increased resistance of cortical neurons to menadione- and thapsigargin-induced apoptosis
• however, sensitivity to apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation, staurosporine, or hydrogen peroxide is similar to wild-type cortical neurons
|
cellular
|
• from E18.5 to birth kidneys show increased apoptosis (3-fold at E18.5 and 4-fold at E19.5) with an explosive increase in apoptosis is seen at P0
• however, no increase in apoptosis is observed before E14.5
|
|
• increased resistance of cortical neurons to menadione- and thapsigargin-induced apoptosis
• however, sensitivity to apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation, staurosporine, or hydrogen peroxide is similar to wild-type cortical neurons
|
|
• ~6-fold increase in immunoreactivity for Ki67 in proliferative cell populations of the kidney cortex at E18.5
