mortality/aging
• Background Sensitivity: the survival rate to adulthood on a 129S6/SvEv FVB background is 1% while the survival rate on a 129S6/SvEv FVB Black Swiss is 9.3%
|
• nearly all mice die between E14.5 and E16.5
|
• mice begin to die at E9.5
|
cellular
• cells from E9.5 mice exhibit chromosomal abnormalities including aneuploidy, broken chromosomes and less condensed chromosomes
• heterochromatin formation is impaired
|
aneuploidy
(
J:140089
)
• in 37% of mouse embryo fibroblasts
|
• following treatment with low dose of gamma irradiation, mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit a defect in the G1/S checkpoint
• however, at high doses of radiation the G1/S checkpoint functions normally
|
• embryos exhibit an increase in the number of cells in the early phase of mitosis
|
• embryos exhibit an increase in the number of cells positive for markers of cell death
|
• survival of mouse embryonic fibroblasts followed exposure to gamma radiation is decrease compared to in similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• survival of mouse embryonic fibroblasts followed exposure to UV radiation is decrease compared to in similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit reduced microhomologous DNA damage repair ability compared to in wild-type cells
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit defects in repair of UV irradiation damage
• however, less precise ligation and end joining is normal
|
• 37% of mouse embryo fibroblasts exhibit lagging chromosomes and unequal segregation during replication
|
embryo
• most embryos at E10.5 to E12.5
|
• at E11.25, some mice lack hindlimb buds
|
growth/size/body
• most embryos at E10.5 to E12.5
|
• in some surviving mice at E11.25
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit reduced microhomologous DNA damage repair ability compared to in wild-type cells
• mouse embryonic fibroblasts exhibit defects in repair of UV irradiation damage
• however, less precise ligation and end joining is normal
|
• 37% of mouse embryo fibroblasts exhibit lagging chromosomes and unequal segregation during replication
|
limbs/digits/tail
• at E11.25, some mice lack hindlimb buds
