mortality/aging
• nearly all mice subjected to myocardial infarction die with ventricular rupture compared to only 30% of similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• 12% of mice that are born die by P1
|
• fewer than expected mice are present at P10 (16% homozygotes compared to the expected 25%)
|
cellular
• mice exhibit decreased proliferation of PECAM+ endothelial vascular cells compared to in wild-type mice
|
reproductive system
cardiovascular system
• mice exhibit a lack of endothelial integrity with extensive blood vessel rupturing and a lack of tight cell-cell interaction
|
• delayed at P0
|
• at E10.5, cranial vessels fail to grow
• embryonic vasculature is abnormal at E13.5 and E15.5
• retinal vasculature development at P0 is delayed
|
• endothelial outgrowth of aortic rings is impaired in culture
• the angiogenic response of vascular endothelial cells to Fgf2 is reduced compared to that of wild-type cells
• mice fail to exhibit neovascularization following myocardial infarction unlike wild-type mice
|
hemorrhage
(
J:139708
)
• at E15.5, mice exhibit multifocal hemorrhages and ruptured blood vessels
• at birth, some mice exhibit hemorrhages in the thoracic cavity outside of the pericardial space
|
• mice subjected to myocardial infarction exhibit increased ventricular dilation, fibrosis and more extensive loss of functional myocardium compared to in wild-type mice in addition to commonly developing atrial thrombi indicative of heart failure
• mice subjected to myocardial infarction die with ventricular rupture unlike wild-type mice
• mice fail to exhibit neovascularization following myocardial infarction unlike wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit decreased proliferation of PECAM+ endothelial vascular cells compared to in wild-type mice
|
respiratory system
• the lungs of mice that die shortly after birth are not inflated
|
vision/eye
• delayed at P0
|
hematopoietic system
• in the dermis and liver
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mice subjected to myocardial infarction exhibit increased ventricular dilation, fibrosis and more extensive loss of functional myocardium compared to in wild-type mice in addition to commonly developing atrial thrombi indicative of heart failure
• mice subjected to myocardial infarction die with ventricular rupture unlike wild-type mice
• mice fail to exhibit neovascularization following myocardial infarction unlike wild-type mice
|
• at E15.5, mice exhibit systemic edema
• at birth, some mice exhibit edema in the thoracic cavity outside of the pericardial space
• mice that die shortly after birth exhibit edema
|
integument
• at birth, the dermis is thickened with erythrocytes in the tissue spaces
