mortality/aging
• mice are pale and cyanotic at birth and die within a few hours likely as a consequence of respiratory distress
|
respiratory system
• hemorrhage is observed in the alveolar space within hours of birth
|
• within hours of birth, alveolar epithelia are enlarged compared to in wild-type mice
|
• lamellar body formation is defective and cells exhibit impaired surfactant secretion
|
• lamellar body formation is defective

atelectasis
(
J:131209
)
• while lungs are grossly normal at birth, within a few hours mice exhibit atelectasis with poor inflation of peripheral airways
• hemorrhage and cell debris are observed in the alveolar space
|
• surfactant C secretion is impaired
|
homeostasis/metabolism
growth/size/body
• at E18.5
