mortality/aging
• no live embryos are recovered after E10.5
• double mutants with wild-type (Sox2-cre E2f7fl/- E28fl/-) placentas appear normal at E10.5 and lack the developmental phenotypes in double null embryos
• Note: Sox2-cre is expressed only in the inner cell mass with no extraembronic tissue expression so the placentas are normal
• however, embryos rescued from lethality during development die within a few days of birth

growth/size/body

embryo
• vascular network is poorly formed, with maternal sinusoids rarely adjacent to fetal blood vessels
• placentas have an increased number of apoptotic spongiotrophoblast cells
• embryos show profound stress response
• widespread apoptosis is observed in embryos
• placentas are smaller overall
• abnormally large clusters of densely packed trophoblast cells which do not effectively invade the maternal decidua
• placentas have an increased number of apoptotic spongiotrophoblast cells
• placentas display altered differentiation of multiple extraembryonic cell lineages

cellular
• placentas have an increased number of apoptotic spongiotrophoblast cells

cardiovascular system
• vascular network is poorly formed, with maternal sinusoids rarely adjacent to fetal blood vessels

embryo
N
• placentas appear normal with well-organized labyrinthine architecture and vasculature, and are functional as fetuses lack signs of acute stress response or ectopic cell apoptosis
• live embryos/fetuses are recovered at all stages analyzed, including at birth

N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• by E10.5, only 45% of double mutants are alive and by E11.5 all are dead

growth/size/body
• smaller at E9.5

embryo
• live E10.5 embryos often have vascular defects in the yolk sac
• massive apoptosis in embryos at E9.5; multiple areas within the head mesenchyme, branchial arch, somites, and neural tube contain cells with pyknotic nuclei surrounded by bright eosinophilic cytoplasm
• smaller at E9.5

cardiovascular system
• large dilated blood vessels
• live E10.5 embryos often have vascular defects in the yolk sac
• large dilated blood vessels associated with multifocal hemorrhages

cellular
• massive apoptosis in embryos at E9.5; multiple areas within the head mesenchyme, branchial arch, somites, and neural tube contain cells with pyknotic nuclei surrounded by bright eosinophilic cytoplasm
