cardiovascular system
• mice co-injected with a Cre recombinase and a VEGF expressing adenovirus exhibit malformed vessels and increased cerebrovascular density in the brain at the injection site resembling arteriovenous malformations
• however, mutants co-injected with a Cre recombinase and a VEGF expressing adenovirus exhibit a similar degree of angiogenesis as in wild-type mice injected with the VEGF adenovirus
• co-injection of a Cre recombinase and a VEGF expressing adenovirus induces less cerebrovascular dysplasia in mutants than in similarly injected Acvrl1tm2.1Spo homozygotes, however gene deletion efficiency is lower in this mutant and when gene deletion efficiency is the same, then these mutants show more dysplastic vessels per gene copy than the Acvrl1 mutant
