mortality/aging
• longest survival time is until E16.5
|
• most embryos survive to only E9.5-11.5
|
growth/size/body
• at E10.5, growth retardation is commonly observed
• however, E9.5 embryos are often normal in size
|
embryo
• at E9.5, yolk sac vasculature is less prominent than in wild-type embryos
|
• at E9.5 and E10.5, endothelial cells are present in the yolk sac but structures appear disorganized and fewer defined large vessels are observed
|
• at E10.5, growth retardation is commonly observed
• however, E9.5 embryos are often normal in size
|
cardiovascular system
• endothelial cells from E9.5 embryos exhibit less alignment in the direction of shear stress
|
• at E9.5, yolk sac vasculature is less prominent than in wild-type embryos
|
• at E9.5 and E10.5, endothelial cells are present in the yolk sac but structures appear disorganized and fewer defined large vessels are observed
|
• endothelial cells from E9.5 embryos exhibit less shear stress-evoked Ca2+ entry
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E9.5 and E10.5, embryos exhibit significantly less calpain activity than wild-type embryos
