mortality/aging
• recovery rate is ~15-16% compared to the expected 25%
• using IVF recovery rate is only ~14% at E4, indicating early death of zygotes
|
growth/size/body
• shorter and flatter at P30
|
short snout
(
J:345229
)
• shorter and flatter at P30
|
• reduced size and vital organs (brain, heart, lung, kidney, and liver) are smaller and lighter
|
• weight is reduced by ~15%
|
• at E14.5 and E18.5
|
behavior/neurological
• significant learning deficits in a Morris water maze and Barnes maze
• however, performance in a new escape box is similar to controls indicating cognitive flexibility is intact
|
• impaired performance in a Y-maze task
|
• in an elevated plus maze test spending more time in the open arm and center of the maze and entering the open arm more frequently
• spend more time in the light compartment in an light-dark test
|
• increase in the number of slips in a beam walking test, indicating impaired fine motor control
• however, performance in a Rotarod assay is similar to controls, indicating gross motor coordination is not significantly impaired and no defect in grip strength is detected
• impaired performance in a pasta eating assay with increased time to consume a piece of pasta, more frequent drops, and more grip adjustments
|
• decreased stride length in the hind paws and concomitant decrease in propel time of the forepaws
• however, overall gait and gross motor performance are similar to controls
|
• increase in total distance traveled in an open field
• increase in distance traveled in an elevated plus maze and light-dark test
|
nervous system
• decrease in overall thickness at P30
|
• reduced ventricular zone thickness at E18.5
|
• smaller and lighter
|
• decrease in overall thickness at P30
|
• in an in vitro assay using cells from E18.5 embryos
|
• 32% shorter primary axons in neurons from E18.5 embryos
|
• no change in dendritic spine density but a significant decrease in mature spines at P30
|
• decrease in SYN1-PSD-95 puncta after 14 days in culture
|
• dysregulation of genes and proteins associated with transcription, cell cycle, cell death, and cognitive function in the brain
• increase in markers for DNA damage in embryonic brain lysates at E14.5 and E18.5
|
• in culture, he distance neurons migrate out of a seeded neurosphere is reduced
|
• at division 14 in culture neurons from E18.5 embryos show reduced neural network activity with little to no network bursts and increased random spike frequency
• in addition overall eletrical activity is significantly decreased in cultured neurons with lower mean firing rate, mean burst rate, and mean burst spike rate
|
• increase in the percentage of apoptotic cells in primary culture
• increase in the number of cells in G2/M and concomitant decrease in the number in G1 phase indicating a delay in the cell cycle
