cellular
• migration length of vagal neural crest cell explants from E9 embryos on fibronectin-coated plates is reduced
• however, no difference in the migration of trunk neural crest cells in culture is seen
|
digestive/alimentary system
• small intestine shows disorganized structure with rudimentary outer muscle layer at P9
• the proximal small intestine at P12.5 shows reduced thickness of the muscularis externa indicating impaired development of the intestinal muscularis propria
|
• intestinal villi show a reduced number of nerve fibers per villi
• however, no difference in the muscle fiber counts per villi is seen
• mice show disorganization of the small intestinal villi, with impaired alignment of neurons with the smooth muscle cells in the developing intestinal villi indicating disorganized innervation of the enteric villi
|
nervous system
• development of the enteric nervous system in the small intestine is impaired
|
• intestinal villi show a reduced number of nerve fibers per villi
|
• intestinal villi show a reduced number of nerve fibers per villi with no difference in the muscle fiber counts per villi, and impaired alignment of neurons with the smooth muscle in the intestine indicating that proper development and organization of the innervation process of the intestinal villi is impaired
