Adam17tm1Imx/Adam17tm1Imx embryos develop internal hemorrhage

cardiovascular system
• at E17.5, hemorrhaging is accompanied by a loss of the vascular organization

• newborn homozygotes displayed enlarged semilunar valves
• at P1, the mean area of mutant aortic valves was 57.5 +/- 29.4 mm2 relative to 20.0 +/- 7.4 mm2 observed in wild-type aortic valves
• 50% and 67% of E14.5 and E17.5 embryos, respectively, exhibit internal hemorrhaging, however no hemorrhagic lesions on the yolk sack vasculature are seen
• hemorrhaging between E11.5 and E14.5 localizes primarily on the side of the head and extent and localization of bleeding progresses with age

mortality/aging
• mice die shortly after birth due to respiratory failure

vision/eye
• fetuses (E16.5 or older) display open eyelids
• at P0, newborn mice are reliably identified by an open eyelid phenotype

homeostasis/metabolism
• newborn (P0) mice are cyanotic in skin color

respiratory system
• neonatal lungs have a semitranslucent gross appearance
• the peripheral lung vascular network is underdeveloped, as determined by reduced PECAM-1 staining
• only sporadic PECAM-1-positive endothelial cells are found in thickened lung mesenchyme
• at E16.5, mutant lungs have ~60% fewer capillary branch points than control lungs
• at P0, large and dilated airways are observed in the lung periphery, with fewer septations and thickened interstitial tissue, indicating delayed lung development
• PCNA proliferative indices are reduced by 64% and 40% at E16.5 and E18, respectively, in the bronchial epithelium
• at E16.5, sparse air spaces with abundant mesenchyme reminiscent of the early pseudoglandular stage are seen, unlike in wild-type lungs where a normal branching pattern with regularly shaped terminal tubules is observed
• when placed in serum-free organ culture, E12 lung primordia from mutant mice branch poorly with only 51.5% the number of peripheral terminal buds seen in wild-type controls
• at E18, fewer saccular structures, thickened interstitial mesenchyme and no septal formation are observed, instead of the characteristic thin-walled terminal buds with extending septa seen in wild-type lungs
• at E16.5 and E18, mutant lungs display 56% and 38% less distal airway spaces relative to wild-type lungs
• a thickened lung mesenchymal tissue is observed at E18 and P0

• PCNA proliferative indices are reduced by 64% and 40% at E16.5 and E18, respectively
• at E16.5, a reduced SP-C immunostaining intensity is detected in the fewer distal epithelial branches indicating a delay in (prealveolar type II) epithelial cell differentiation
• only weak SP-C staining is seen in some peripheral epithelial cells of dilated airways in cultured E12 mutant lungs
• both lung hypoplasia and delayed epithelial cell differentiation can be rescued by exogenous addition of soluble stimulatory factors including TNF or EGF in embryonic lung culture
