mortality/aging
• embryos die between E10.5 and E11.5 due to widespread failure of cell viability
|
embryo
• increased apoptosis of cells within the head mesenchyme particularly in the area of the trigeminal neural crest at E8.5-E10.5
|
• growth restriction occurs between E8.5-E10.5 of development
|
• prior to death at E10.5, embryos are smaller than wild-type controls
|
• at E10.5 ruffles are seen in the neuroectoderm of the neural tube of some embryos
|
• embryos exhibit a failure of neural tube closure from the hindbrain rostrally
|

cellular
• a sharp increase is seen in the number of cells with 3 or more lipid droplets in the cytoplasm particularly in the mesenchyme and cardiovascular tissues at E8.5 - E10.5
|
• embryonic cells display a 4-fold increase in Golgi body number and the Golgi bodies have dilated membranes and an increase in smooth and dense vesicles
|
• the rough endoplasmic reticulum has fewer ribosomes compared to wild-type embryonic cells
|
• increased apoptosis of cells within the head mesenchyme particularly in the area of the trigeminal neural crest at E8.5-E10.5
|
• increased apoptosis in neural tube at E8.5-E10.5
