mortality/aging
• die within the first 2 days after birth
|
renal/urinary system
• higher density of mature glomeruli in the medulla region compared to the periphery unlike in controls
|
• 12-16% of glomeruli become cystic
|
• expression analysis indicates a defect in proximal and intermediate regions of the S-shaped bodies development during tubule development
• S-shaped bodies appear less convoluted
• decrease in proliferation in comma-shaped bodies and a stronger decrease in the future proximal tubule of S-shaped bodies at E16.5
• increase in apoptosis in kidney epithelium but not stroma at E16.5
• strong increase in apoptosis in late mutant nephron tubules and a more moderate increase in S-shaped bodies
|
• occasional
|
• decrease in tubular structures
• reduction of 43.5% in mature glomeruli mutant kidneys
• higher density of mature glomeruli in the medulla region compared to the periphery unlike in controls
|
• medullar elongated loop of Henle tubules are not visible at P0
|
• not visible at P0
