|
mortality/aging
|
• deaths begin at around 7 months
• average life span is 16.6 months
|
|
• only one quarter of expected mice are present at weaning
(J:65128)
• many mice born alive fail to thrive and die by 48 hours
(J:75765)
|
|
• 29% of homozygotes are dead by E13.5
|
cellular
|
• variation in proliferation and growth rates are observed between different mouse embryonic fibroblast preparations due to the genetic background
|
|
• using a [3H]thymidine-incorporation assay after exposure to serum following serum starvation, cell cycle progression in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) is slower than in wild-type MEFs
• using a BrdU-incorporation assay, DNA synthesis in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (MEFs) is slowed and its rate of occurrence is reduced relative to in wild-type MEFs
|
|
• although variation in proliferation rates are observed between different mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) preparations due to the genetic background, doubling time of MEFs is twice as long as that of MEFs from wild-type embryos
|
growth/size/body
|
• surviving mice fail to gain weight at the same rate as littermates
|
|
• significantly decreased weight at E18.5
|
respiratory system
|
• bilateral pleural effusions
|
|
• macrophage in alveolar spaces
|
|
• dyspnea in the last few days of life
|
homeostasis/metabolism
cardiovascular system
|
• cause of death in about 85% of mice
|
immune system
|
• macrophage in alveolar spaces
|

|
• in the last month or two of life

cellular
|
• some mouse embryonic cells (MEFs) grow as well as wild-type MEFs while others grow at a rate intermediate between wild-type and homozygous nulls
|
mortality/aging
|
• mice do not survive to E18.5 but are present at E13.5
|
mortality/aging
|
• die between E9.5 and E10.5
• embryos normal at E9.5
• much smaller than littermates at E10.5
|
growth/size/body
|
• surviving mice fail to gain weight at the same rate as littermates
|
reproductive system
|
• exacerbated
• no loss of leydig cells
