digestive/alimentary system
• mice with severe megacolon display regional increases in myofibroblast-like cells and decreases in glia
|
nervous system
• decrease in the percentage of enteric neural crest-derived progenitors in the fetal gut at E12.5
|
• decreased numbers of neuronal progenitor cells in the foregut at E13.5
• Background Sensitivity: increase in the number of myofibroblast-like cells compared to wild-type mice and heterozygous mice on a congenic C3Fe mice
|
• abnormal patterning of the ganglion network in some mice at E13.5
• decreased density of enteric ganglia
• Background Sensitivity: ganglia are sparser in congenic B6 mice compared to congenic C3Fe mice
• large areas are devoid of normal enteric ganglia and instead contain large numbers of myofibroblast-like cells
|
embryo
• shift in the types of colonies produced by cultured enteric neural crest-derived progenitors to produce more neuronal and fewer glial, myofibroblast and mixed glial and myofibroblast colonies
|
• decrease in the percentage of enteric neural crest-derived progenitors in the fetal gut at E12.5
|
cellular
• shift in the types of colonies produced by cultured enteric neural crest-derived progenitors to produce more neuronal and fewer glial, myofibroblast and mixed glial and myofibroblast colonies
