mortality/aging
N |
• in crosses between heterozygous mice the expected number of homozygous offspring are found
|
cellular
• decrease in the number of viable embryos at E12.5 and increase in aborted or reabsorbed embryos in crosses of homozygous mice
• however, when the maternal genotype is heterozygous, homozygous embryos are viable
• placental defects are seen when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
embryo
• ratio of the junctional zone to labyrinth layer is increased when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
• increase in the number of decidual NK cells in placentals when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
• impaired remodeling of maternal spiral arteries resulting in an increase in arterial luminal diameter and outer diameter
• however, fetal vascular networks appear similar to controls
|
• expanded giant cells in the junctional zone when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
• increased in the placenta at E12.5 in male but not female fetuses, when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
• when the maternal genotype is homozygous the placental weight is reduced for male but not female fetuses at E12.5
|
reproductive system
• increase in the number of decidual NK cells in placentals when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
• impaired remodeling of maternal spiral arteries resulting in an increase in arterial luminal diameter and outer diameter
• however, fetal vascular networks appear similar to controls
|
• decrease in litter sizes and decrease in the number of viable embryos at E12.5
|
immune system
• increase in the number of decidual NK cells in placentals when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
hematopoietic system
• increase in the number of decidual NK cells in placentals when the maternal genotype is homozygous
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• increase in the number of decidual NK cells in placentals when the maternal genotype is homozygous
