mortality/aging
• mice die within 5 weeks of birth
|
• median life span is 15 days
• mean life span is 16 days
|
digestive/alimentary system
N |
• mice exhibit normal smooth muscle and Cajal cells in the colon
|
• mice exhibit severe occlusion of the distal colon
|
• carbachol-stimulated mice exhibit uncoordinated colon motility compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
|
nervous system
• enteric neurite lengths are shorter than in wild-type mice
|
• between E11.5 and E13.5, proliferation of enteric nervous system precursors is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit hyperganglionosis in the distal colon compared with wild-type mice
• between E11.5 and E13.5, proliferation of enteric nervous system precursors is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• enteric ganglia are less interconnected by acetylcholinesterase+ and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate disphorase+ fibers than in wild-type mice
|
• the number of acetylcholinesterase+ and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate disphorase+ neurons in the distal colon and to a lesser extent the proximal colon is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• enteric neurite lengths are shorter than in wild-type mice
