mortality/aging
• survival is significantly impaired under chronic hypoxia conditions compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, under normoxic conditions mice exhibit normal survival unlike in Eportm1Liz homozygotes
|
cardiovascular system
• under hypoxic conditions, muscularization of pulmonary small-vessels is accelerated compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• in a model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), mutants exhibit fewer numbers of vascular tubes that reach into the inner nuclear layer at P17, indicating reduced neovascularization in the retina after hypoxic conditions
|
• under hypoxic conditions, mobilization of endothelial precursor cells is impaired and fewer CD31+ cells migrate to the pulmonary endothelium than in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• accelerated under hypoxic conditions
|
• under hypoxic conditions, right ventricle systolic pressure is increased compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• development of pulmonary hypertension is accelerated under hypoxic conditions as measured by right ventricle systolic pressure and right ventricle hypertrophy compared to in wild-type mice
• however, irradiated mice transplanted with wild-type bone marrow exhibit a partial rescue in the development of pulmonary hypertension
|
respiratory system
• under hypoxic conditions, muscularization of pulmonary small-vessels is accelerated compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• survival is significantly impaired under chronic hypoxia conditions compared to similarly treated wild-type mice
