nervous system
• mice exhibit reduced formation of motor neurons compared with wild-type mice
• at P5 and P28, alpha motor neuron differentiation is impaired in the lateral motor neurons
• however, no increase in apoptosis is observed and lateral motor column gamma motor neurons and medial motor column alpha and gamma motor neurons are intact
|
• fewer motor neuron progenitors exit the cell cycle and exhibit extended cell cycle compared to in wild-type mice
|
• at E11.5 and E13.5 in lateral motor neurons
• at E12.5, but not E13.5, in the lateral motor neurons of the adductor longus and magnus and posterior gracilis muscles
• at E13.5 in hypaxial motor neurons
• at E13.5 in the rectofemoratibialis muscles
• at E13.5 and E14.5 in the medial anterior gracilis, medial adductor brevis, and vasti muscles
• however, the number of medial motor neurons or preganglionic columns are normal
