mortality/aging
• embryos die at E10-10.5, showing longer survival thah double homozygous embryos
|
embryo
• yolk sacs are of normal size, but lack larger collecting vessels and contain irregular and less dense capillary networks
• vasulature of yolk sac at E10 is characterized by vessel heterogeneity, disorganization, and immaturity
• thickened blood vessels, lack of capillaries, and large avascular spaces between blood vessels are observed, with occasional dead-ended sprouts not connected to other sprouts
• arterial and venous branching is not seen in yolk sacs at E10
|
cardiovascular system
• embryos show severe vascular impairment at E10
• blood vessels are disorganized, heterogeneous in size, and some show thickening
• blood vessel density is low in the head region, with avascular regions in head and trunk
• small vessel sprouting is seen, but is unconnected to other sprouts and no capillary plexus is formed
|
• dorsal aorta is poorly formed, and outflow tract is undetectable
|

hemorrhage
(
J:75477
)
• multiple hemorrhages are observed in embryos at E10
