mortality/aging
• one of five surviving mice died with aortic valve calcification
|
• greater than 95% of mice die within 24 hours of birth
|
cardiovascular system
• outflow tract defects arise at E17.5
|
• atrioventricular cushion defects arise at E17.5
• however, prior to E17.5 no cardiac defects are detected and tricuspid and mitral valves are normal at all stages examined
|
• 30% of neonates have an overriding aorta that is often associated with ventricular septum defects
|
• 66% of neonates exhibit atrial septal defects
|
• 50% of neonates have defects in the submembranous ventricular septum associated with overriding aorta in some cases
|
• 25% of neonates exhibit aortic valve tricuspids with thick leaflets
• 25% of neonates exhibit aortic valve bicuspids with thick leaflets
• 20% of neonates have an aortic valve bicuspid or unicuspid with an overgrown and obstructed leaflet
• in 2 surviving mice the aortic valve leaflets are thickened and in one fused with clear evidence of chondrification
|
• 25% of neonates exhibit aortic valve bicuspids with thick leaflets
• 20% of neonates have an aortic valve bicuspid or unicuspid with an overgrown and obstructed leaflet
|
• 25% of neonates exhibit aortic valve tricuspids with thick leaflets
• 25% of neonates exhibit aortic valve bicuspids with thick leaflets
• in 2 surviving mice the aortic valve leaflets are thickened
|
• some neonates have an aortic valve unicuspid with an overgrown and obstructed leaflet
|
• one of five surviving mice died with aortic valve calcification
|
• 77% of neonates exhibit pulmonary valve tricuspids with thick leaflets
• 9% of neonates exhibit pulmonary valve bicuspids with thick leaflets
• 5% of neonates have a pulmonary valve bicuspid or unicuspid with an overgrown and obstructed leaflet
|
• 9% of neonates exhibit pulmonary valve bicuspids with thick leaflets

|
• 77% of neonates exhibit pulmonary valve tricuspids with thick leaflets
• 9% of neonates exhibit pulmonary valve bicuspids with thick leaflets
|
• some neonates have a pulmonary valve unicuspid with an overgrown and obstructed leaflet
|
• 80% of neonates have dilated right ventricles
|
immune system
• however, B cells and granulocytes in the fetal liver and bone marrow are normal unlike in Cxcl12 or Cxcr4 null mice
• two surviving mice had modest reductions in marginal zone B cells that localized correctly to the spleen
|
digestive/alimentary system
N |
• unlike in Cxcl12 null mice, gastrointestinal vascularization is normal
|
nervous system
N |
• unlike in Cxcl12 and Cxcr4 null mice, neural development is normal
|
hematopoietic system
• two surviving mice had modest reductions in marginal zone B cells that localized correctly to the spleen
• however, B cells and granulocytes in the fetal liver and bone marrow are normal unlike in Cxcl12 or Cxcr4 null mice
