mortality/aging
|
• homozygous embryos are present at E9.5 but absent at E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
|
• gaps are seen in the blood vessel walls in the head and electron microscopy revealed gaps in the vascular endothelial cells of the perinuclear plexus in the head
|
|
• no pericytes are found around the vascular endothelial cells
|
|
• vascular branching and sprouting are impaired and the complexity of the vascular network is decreased
|
|
• absent myocardial trabeculations at E9.5
|
|
• at E9.5 the endothelium lining the myocardium is less intricately folded and the endocardial lining appears collapsed and retracted from the myocardial wall
|
|
• most homozygous embryos have hemorrhages in the head
|
embryo
|
• at E9.5 the vitteline vasculature fails to reorganize into a mature branched network; however, the immature plexus forms normally
|
hematopoietic system
|
• multilineage hematopoietic stem cell clusters in the omphalomesenteric and vitelline arteries are absent and the number of hematopoietic cells produced in vitro is severely reduced
|
nervous system
|
• most homozygous embryos have hemorrhages in the head
|
muscle
|
• absent myocardial trabeculations at E9.5

cardiovascular system
|
• at 16 somite stage, thinning of the dorsal aorta and aberrant ventral arteries seen
|
|
• heart is surrounded by a distended pericardium by E9.5
|
|
• by E9.5, local ruptures in the vasculature and leakage of blood into the body cavity occurred
|
embryo
|
• endothelial cells failed to reorganize into a vascular network
|
mortality/aging
cardiovascular system
|
• blood vessels in the dorsal, posterior portion of the mouse are enlarged and highly distorted compared to in wild-type mice
|
|
• blood vessel development fails to proceed to the dorsal portion of the body unlike in wild-type mice
• vessel integrity is compromised compared to in wild-type mice
|
|
• mice exhibit poor branching structures of the blood vessels in the head unlike wild-type mice
|
|
• blood vessels fail to organize into large and small vessels unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
• yolk sac vasculature is underdeveloped and lacks major blood vessels unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
• myocardial trabeculation in the ventricle is absent
|
|
• at E9.5, heart development is poor
• mice exhibit reduced endocardial tissue in the common atrial and ventricular chambers compared to in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit thin myocardial layer, poor maintenance of endocardial contact, and absence of trabeculations unlike in wild-type mice
|
embryo
|
• yolk sac vasculature is underdeveloped and lacks major blood vessels unlike in wild-type mice
|
|
