mortality/aging

craniofacial
• defects in palate development are detected by E14.5
• impaired osteogenic differentiation of palatal mesenchymal cells
• hyperproliferation of cranial neural crest-derived palatal mesenchymal cells
• palatal shelves elevate but fail to extend towards the midline
• maxilla and palatine bones, palatal stromal mesenchyme and soft palate muscles are all affected
• abnormal orientation of the pterygoid plate
• muscle fiber orientation is disturbed
• complete cleft with 90% penetrance
• treatment with Nutlin-3, an MDM2 inhibitor, rescued cleft palate in 3 of 5 mice
• minor flattened skull

cellular
• palatal mesenchymal cells show increased signs of DNA damage potentially due to replication stress

muscle
• muscle fiber orientation is disturbed
