mortality/aging
• non-resorbed embryos are detected in only 1 out of 10 litters analyzed at E18.8
• no double homozygotes are recovered at weaning
|
• only 2.7% of double homozygotes are recovered at E18.5
|
• although double homozygotes are present at normal Mendelian ratios at E10.5, reduced numbers are detected at E14.5
|
integument
• at E14.5, almost all (14 of 15) double homozygotes show severe subcutaneous edema
|
cardiovascular system
N |
• in vitro angiogenesis of E14.5 umbilical arterial explants in response to VEGF signals is normal
|
• at E14.5, vessel density of double homozygotes is only ~50% of wild-type and, more significantly, 30% less than that in single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
• average lumen size of CD31+ blood vessels is ~12.4% larger than that in single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
|
• at E14.5, double homozygotes exhibit early cardiac defects similar to those observed in single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
|
• at E10.5, double homozygotes display heart tube malformations
|
• at E14.5, double homozygotes show incomplete IVS closure
|
• at E14.5, double homozygotes show malformation of the mesenchymal membranous part of the septa
|
• at E14.5, the heart right ventricles are misshapen
|
• at E10.5, double homozygotes exhibit pericardial edema with similar ratios as single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
|
embryo
• at E14.5, vessel density of double homozygotes is only ~50% of wild-type and, more significantly, 30% less than that in single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
• average lumen size of CD31+ blood vessels is ~12.4% larger than that in single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
|
• at E14.5, patches of trophoblast giant cells are observed in the spongiotrophoblast layer
|
• at E14.5, placentas exhibit a much thinner and significantly more disorganized Tpbpa+ spongiotrophoblast layer than that in single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at E10.5, double homozygotes exhibit pericardial edema with similar ratios as single Baiap2Gt(XG757)Byg homozygotes
|
• at E14.5, almost all (14 of 15) double homozygotes show severe subcutaneous edema
|
limbs/digits/tail
• at E14.5, almost all (13 of 15) double homozygotes show forepaw oligodactyly; loss of posterior digits in the right forepaw is observed
