endocrine/exocrine glands
• beginning on E13.5, pituitary glands have increased numbers of luminal cells in S phase relative to controls
• at E17.5, glands show a convoluted lumen and exhibit higher proliferation of luminal cells
|
nervous system
• beginning on E13.5, pituitary glands have increased numbers of luminal cells in S phase relative to controls
• at E17.5, glands show a convoluted lumen and exhibit higher proliferation of luminal cells
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• few pro-opiomelanocortin-positive cells (POMCs) are detected in the pituitary gland, resulting in decreased protein levels
|
• protein levels are barely detectable relative to wild-type
|
• few LH-positive cells are detected in the pituitary gland resulting in decreased protein levels in pituitary
|
• protein levels are barely detectable relative to wild-type
|
cellular
• more cells in lumen are in S phase at ~E13.5 relative to controls
• some cell cycle regulation genes are upregulated in mutants at E17.5
