mortality/aging
• while Mendelian ratios of embryos are present at E13 and E16.5 to E18.5, few mice are born and those that are born die at birth due to respiratory distress
|
growth/size/body
• at E17.5 and E18.5, mice are 80% of the weight of normal mice (0.63+/-0.052 g compared to 0.82+/-0.049 g for wild-type mice)
|
cellular
• cell proliferation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) from E13.5 embryos is decreased compared to that of wild-type MEFs
|
respiratory system
atelectasis
(
J:125188
)
• at E18.5, mice have collapsed airspaces in the lungs
|
• mice that are born suffer from fatal respiratory distress
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• PGE2 content in the lungs is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
integument
• at E17.5, hypoplastic alterations are observed
|
• at E17.5, hypoplastic alterations are observed
|
• at E17.5, the stratum corneum is insufficient
|
• at E17.5
