mortality/aging
• die at about E14.5
|
cardiovascular system
• expression analysis indicates that subcutaneous vessels have fewer associated pericytes
• however, vessels in other organs, such as the brain, appear to have normal numbers of pericytes
|
• at E13.5 marked vessel dilation is seen mainly in the trunk
|
hemorrhage
(
J:164806
)
• peripheral blood vessels occasionally form microaneurysms with hemorrhage
|
hematopoietic system
• decrease in the proportion of megakaryocyte/erythrocyte fraction and an increase in the common myeloid progenitor and granulocyte/macrophage progenitor fractions in the fetal liver
|
• the hematopoietic colony forming units (CFU) are markedly reduced compared to control littermates
• fetal liver cells show impaired repopulation ability in a competitive repopulation assay
|
• marked decrease in CFU-E
|
• while single megakaryocytes are seen no megakaryocytic colonies are generated by fetal liver cells in vitro
|
• the fetal liver contains fewer hematopoietic cells
|
liver/biliary system
pale liver
(
J:164806
)
• the fetal liver contains fewer hematopoietic cells
|
homeostasis/metabolism
skin edema
(
J:164806
)
• at E13.5
|

skin edema
(
