• vascularization and bone formation in the diaphysis are normal
|
• similar to in Ihhtm1Amc homozygotes, orthotopic osteoblast differentiation is impaired as determined by marker expression
|
• at E15.5 and E18.5, the proliferative zone is slightly larger than in Ihhtm1Amc homozygotes but smaller than in wild-type mice
|
• vascularization of the hypertrophic zone is improved compared to in Ihhtm1Amc homozygotes
|
• columnar organization of chondrocytes is partially restored compared to in Ihhtm1Amc homozygotes but is still disorganized compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E18.5, mice fail to exhibit bone deposition in the perichondrium flanking the hypertrophic regions where the bone collar normally forms in the long bones of wild-type mice
