Prkar1atm1Gsm/Prkar1atm1Gsm embryos are severely growth-retarded

mortality/aging

growth/size/body
• severe growth retardation with developmental delay
• the E9.5 mutant embryo is similar in size to an E8 wild-type embryo
• greatly reduced trunk structure, however anterior-posterior axis is clearly apparent
• smaller by E7.5

cardiovascular system
• the cardiogenic plate, rather than being displaced more caudally by the formation of the heart tube, it is tightly juxtaposed to the proencephalon
• heart tube does not form although a cardiogenic plate is present

embryo
• do not initiate the embryo turning process that occurs at the 7-8 somite transition
• severe growth retardation with developmental delay
• the E9.5 mutant embryo is similar in size to an E8 wild-type embryo
• greatly reduced trunk structure, however anterior-posterior axis is clearly apparent
• smaller by E7.5
• mutant embryos have a flattened morphology by E7.5
• axial mesoderm is greatly reduced in size
• paraxial mesoderm is greatly reduced in size
• reduction in primitive streak mesoderm
• exhibit aberrant and highly disorganized migration of mesodermal cells away from the primitive streak
• about 1/3 the number of mesodermal cells exit the streak and move laterally and anteriorly, resulting in an accumulation of presumptive mesoderm beneath the primitive streak
• somites are irregularly shaped at E9.5
• somites are very small at E9.5
• exhibit a ruffled yolk sac membrane by E7.5

cellular
• mesodermal primary embryonic fibroblasts from E8.5 embryos have a flattened and box-shaped or rounded morphology with multiple actin organizing centers that extend in all directions rather than the typical spindled morphology with sparse parallel actin fibers

homeostasis/metabolism
• mesodermal primary embryonic fibroblasts complete wound healing faster than wild-type fibroblasts

digestive/alimentary system
• absence of a heart tube leads to a more radical angle of entry of the foregut

Tumors in Prkar1atm1Gsm/Prkar1a+ mice

cardiovascular system
• depressed heart rate variability, however exhibit no heart rate changes, conduction delay or any cardiac myxomas

liver/biliary system
• 5 of 12 mutants that develop tumors have hepatocellular carcinomas

reproductive system

neoplasm
• increase in frequency of extracardiac tumors; 12 of 17 mutants developed tumors
• 5 of 12 mutants that develop tumors have hepatocellular carcinomas
• 3 of 12 mutants that develop tumors have soft tissue sarcomas with myxomatous differentiation invading the calvaria
• 2 of 12 mutants that develop tumors have paraspinal and spinal sarcomas (chondro- and meningeal saracomas) with cord compression and lower limb paralysis
• 2 of 12 mutants that develop tumors have s.c. soft tissue myxoid fibrosarcomas of the forelimb
• 4 of 12 mutants that develop tumors have hemangiosarcomas of the spleen with myxoid regions
• splenic hemangiosarcomas are associated with metachronous lesions including colonic, ovarian, and pulmonary hemangiosarcomas

pigmentation
N
• pigmentation is normal
