mortality/aging
|
• die around E10.5
|
embryo
|
• exhibit decreased cell proliferation in pharyngeal endoderm
|
|
• growth retardation at about E9.5
|
|
• exhibit decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis of splanchnic mesodermal cells that are immediately adjacent to pharyngeal endoderm at E8.75 or E9.5
|
cardiovascular system
|
• lack an outflow tract as indicated by marker analysis
|
|
• cardiac primorida at E8.75 resembles cardiac primordia seen in wild-type at E8.25, suggesting an interruption in heart development
|
|
• hearts are unlooped at E9-9.5
|
|
• exhibit significant reduction in the amount of atrial tissue
|
|
• hearts are misshapen at E9-9.5
|
|

|
digestive/alimentary system
|
• exhibit failure of exocrine cell differentiation in the dorsal but not the ventral pancreas
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
|
• rudimentary pouch forms at E9.5, small and primitive
• pouch cells are aberrant and fail to differentiate
|
|
• at E9.5
|
|
• exhibit failure of exocrine cell differentiation in the dorsal but not the ventral pancreas
|
|
• cultured gut explants do not generate differentiated islet cells
|
|

|
|
• dorsal pancreatic mesenchyme does not form
|
craniofacial
|
• exhibit decreased cell proliferation in pharyngeal endoderm
|
nervous system
|
