mortality/aging
• homozygous embryos die between E12.5-E16.5
|
hematopoietic system
• there is a about a 5-fold reduction in myeloid CFU isolated from E13.5 fetal livers
• relative proportions of the different myeloid colony types are normal
|
• in E13.5 fetal livers, there is a 4-fold reduction in long term HSC numbers and a 3-fold reduction in the short term HSC numbers
• the majority of the cells missing are in the G0 phase suggesting a selective loss of quiescent HSC
|
• in E13.5 fetal livers, there is a 4-fold reduction in long term HSC numbers and a 3-fold reduction in the short term HSC numbers
• the majority of the cells missing are in the G0 phase suggesting a selective loss of quiescent HSC
|
liver/biliary system
• fetal liver cellularity is reduced 2.5-fold at both E13.5 and E14.5 compared to controls
