mortality/aging
• mice die by E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
• the inflow tract lacks continuous lumen unlike in wild-type mice
|
• at E8.0 to E8.5, preaortal angioblast align in narrow rows with visible occlusions compared to in wild-type mice
• arteriovenous differentiation fails unlike in wild-type mice
• blood vessels such as the dorsal aortae, endocardium, yolk sac, vitelline artery, inflow tract, and allantois lack continuous lumens unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit failure of tubulogenesis at the onset of vessel formation unlike wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal angioblast specification, proliferation, and patterning
|
• lacks continuous lumen
|
• tight junction are clustered at the center of endothelial cords and adherens junctions are ectopically distributed unlike in wild-type mice
• endothelial cells fail to exhibit adhesion to extracellular matrix and fail to establish apicobasal polarity unlike in wild-type mice
|
• at E8.5, aortic endothelial cells remain cuboidal unlike in wild-type mice
|
• yolk sacs lack the hierarchical vascular network observed in wild-type mice
• yolk sacs and the vitelline artery lack continuous lumen unlike in wild-type mice
|
• lacks continuous lumen
