Cardiac defects in newborn Myh10tm2Rsad/Myh10tm2Rsad mice

mortality/aging

• ~65% of homozygotes die prior to birth

cardiovascular system
• newborn hearts show mild to moderate myofibrillar disarray as well as clear areas of cytoplasm corresponding to accumulations of glycogen particles
• right atrial myocytes are enlarged and contain significantly more cisterns of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes, as well as abundant glycogen particles
• newborn hearts show mild to moderate myofibrillar disarray
• as early as E12.5, homozygotes exhibit cardiac myocyte hypertrophy throughout the ventricles and atria, as shown by a significant increase in RV+LV cardiomyocyte diameter
• newborn hearts show enlarged right atrial myocytes
• newborn homozygotes show right atrial dilatation
• 6 of 7 newborn homozygotes exhibit a VSD located beneath the aortic valve; the muscular portion of the ventricular septum remains intact
• newborn homozygotes display abnormal rounded hearts
• 6 of 7 homozygotes exhibit a rightward malposition of the aortic valve, so that it straddles the ventricular septum and the septal defect or emanates almost entirely from the right ventricle; the defect is found in the membranous portion of the ventricular septum
• in 6 of 7 newborn homozygotes, the right ventricular outflow tract is narrowed by hypertrophic muscle
• newborn homozygotes die of congestive heart failure with secondary tissue changes noted in the liver, kidney, and spleen

craniofacial
• newborn homozygotes exhibit dome-shaped heads due to hydrocephalus involving the lateral ventricles

liver/biliary system
• newborn homozygotes exhibit a dark purple, congested liver that is visible through the skin

nervous system
• newborn homozygotes display hydrocephalus involving the lateral ventricles
• newborn homozygotes fail to develop the bipolar layer of retinal ganglion cells

behavior/neurological
• all moribund pups are unable to nurse

growth/size/body
• newborn homozygotes exhibit a variable body size

vision/eye
• newborn homozygotes display retinal dysplasia with rosette formation
• newborn homozygotes fail to develop the bipolar layer of retinal ganglion cells
