Hunched posture, failure to initiate respiration, and swollen bladders in E18.5 Nmnat2Gt(EUCE0262a08)Hmgu/Nmnat2Gt(RRF238)Byg pups

mortality/aging
• mice die at birth (J:192196)
• fail to initiate breathing and die at birth (J:200901)

respiratory system

behavior/neurological
• at E18.5 (J:192196)
• at birth (J:200901)
• do not move in utero or at birth
• at E18.5

muscle
• appears underdeveloped
• decreased muscle mass
• at E18.5 and P0

renal/urinary system
• at E18.5 and P0 (J:192196)
• at E18.5 (J:200901)

nervous system
• nerve branches in the hindlimb extend only a short distance into the thigh region at E13/13.5 and E14.5 and intercostal nerves appear to lack significant lateral branching at E14.5
• distal branches of the phrenic nerves are absent from the diaphragm at E14.5
• in dorsal root ganglia explant cultures neurite extension stalls at just 2mm by 3 days in vitro and then begins to retract slightly
• in superior cervical ganglia explant cultures neurite extension is stunted
• stunted retinal ganglion cell axons are seen at E18.5
• in explants cortical neurite extension is severely restricted and neurites show significant blebbing by 7 days in vitro
• absence of the olfactory nerve fiber layer
• distal branches of the phrenic nerves are absent from the diaphragm at E14.5
• axons are absent from distal regions of the hindlimb
• stunted retinal ganglion cell axons are seen at E18.5
• however, no significant loss of retinal ganglion cells is detected
• absence of healthy looking gracile tract axons in the dorsal column of the spinal cord
• axons fall short of the optic chiasma and the optic tract is essentially absent
• decrease or absence of corticospinal tract axons in the dorsal column of cervical segments of the spinal cord at E18.5
• cortical neurites show significant blebbing by 7 days in vitro
• extensive cell death is evident at E18.5 and P0

cellular
• nerve branches in the hindlimb extend only a short distance into the thigh region at E13/13.5 and E14.5 and intercostal nerves appear to lack significant lateral branching at E14.5
• distal branches of the phrenic nerves are absent from the diaphragm at E14.5

vision/eye
• stunted retinal ganglion cell axons are seen at E18.5
• however, no significant loss of retinal ganglion cells is detected

N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• die within a few hours of birth
• unlike Nmnat2 single mutants, double mutants initiate breathing in most cases

behavior/neurological
N
• unlike Nmnat2 single mutants, double mutants do not display a hunched posture

muscle
N
• unlike Nmnat2 single mutants, muscle mass and diaphragm morphology are similar to controls in double mutants

nervous system
N
• at E14.5 intercostal and hindlimb nerves show a grossly normal morphology and loss of dorsal root ganglia cells and spinal cord motor neurons later in development is largely prevented, unlike in Nmnat2 single mutants
• the optic nerve and olfactory bulb defects in single Nmnat2 single mutants are largely rescued in double mutants

renal/urinary system
N
• unlike Nmnat2 single mutants, double mutants do not display a distended bladder
