E10.5 Col5a1tm1Rjw/Col5a1tm1Rjw embryos exhibit blood pooling and absence of blood-filled vessels in yolk sacs
mortality/aging
embryo
|
• blood-filled vessels are not evident in yolk sacs
|
cardiovascular system
|
• embryos exhibit less blood than controls
• frequently exhibit pooled blood even before the cessation of the rhythmic contractions of the heart
|
integument
|
• lack virtually all collagen fibril formation in the predermal mesenchyme
• a small number of very large diameter fibrils that are misshapen and have irregular borders are seen the ectodermal basement membrane at the stromal interface

Abnormal collagen fibrils in the deep dermis of 12 week old Col5a1tm1Rjw/Col5a1+ mice
integument
|
• exhibit a 50% reduction in collagen fibril number and dermal collagen content
• dermis is characterized by large numbers of structurally aberrant collagen fibrils that are larger and have irregular contour

The dermis of Col5a1tm1Rjw/Col5a1+ mice contains poorly organized and less densely packed fibers
cardiovascular system
|
• ascending and descending aortas from 12-week old mutants exhibit decreased aortic stiffness and breaking strength
|
integument
|
• exhibit a 50% decrease in type V collagen content in skin
|
|
• mice show alterations in type I collagen fiber composition in the dermis, but not the Achilles tendons, including a decrease in the beta1,2 dimers, cross-linked by an intramolecular aldol band and increase in gamma trimers, cross-linked by an intermolecular aldol bond
|
|
• dermis contains poorly organized and less densely fibers and contains a mixture of relatively normal symmetrical fibrils that are somewhat broader and larger in diameter and very large diameter and aberrant fibrils; the large aberrant fibrils contain no type V collagen
• exhibit a significant delay in dermal collagen accumulation between 4 and 8 weeks of age, however by 12 weeks the total quantity of dermal collagen is similar to wild-type
• dermis shows reduced density of dermal connective tissue
|
|
• skin is hyperextensible compared to wild-type, but there is no skin redundancy
|
|
• tensile strength of unwounded and wounded skin is reduced
