mortality/aging
• all die around E9.5
|
embryo
N |
• embryonic and extraembryonic epithelia is intact
|
• 10-fold increase in apoptotic cells in embryos, indicating a nutrition defect
|
• starting around E8.5, fully apparent by E9.5
|
• desmosomes are smaller and partially mislocalized
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• expression analysis indicates a nutrient shortage exists in embryos at E9.5
• addition of exogenous glucose fails to rescue the apparent nutrient shortage
|
• at E9.5 protein biosynthesis is reduced in the embryo and in the yolk sac compared to wild-type controls
