Structural abnormalities of E14 Akt1tm1Hem/Akt1tm1Hem mouse placenta
mortality/aging
|
• about 40% of mutants are lost by 2-4 weeks after birth
• frequently, the majority of pups from homozygous intercross litters die within 10 days
|
embryo
|
• placenta is not only small but also thin
|
|
• fetal placental vasculature is disordered with fewer, smaller and shorter vessels
• 52% decrease in total vessel length and 48% decrease in microvessel-covering area
• vascular branching is scarce
|
|
• the decidua is disproportionately decreased or missing in some mutant placentas
|
|
• the spongiotrophoblast of the placenta is smaller
|
|
• periodic acid Schiff's staining shows a reduction of glycogen-containing cells in the spongiotrophoblast
|
|
• the labyrinth of the placenta is smaller
|
|
• severe hypotrophy of the placenta
|
|
• placental weight is 24% lower than that of wild-type at E14.5
• while placenta weight increases from E14.5 to E16.5 in wild-type, in mutants, the weight of placenta does not change during this time period
|
|
• placental hypotrophy with marked reduction of the decidual basalis and nearly complete loss of glycogen containing cells in the spongioblast
• decreased vascularization
|
growth/size/body
|
• mutants maintain small size from birth to adulthood
|
|
• body weight of newborns is about 70% of wild-type littermates
|
|
• surviving mutants grow slowly after birth, with some extremely stunted and lean
|
|
• E14.5 fetuses are 20% smaller than wild-type
|
behavior/neurological
reproductive system
|
• the decidua is disproportionately decreased or missing in some mutant placentas
|
integument
cardiovascular system
|
• fetal placental vasculature is disordered with fewer, smaller and shorter vessels
• 52% decrease in total vessel length and 48% decrease in microvessel-covering area
• vascular branching is scarce
