mortality/aging
|
• death at E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
|
• looping is blocked
|
|
• at E8.5 and E9.5 severely decreased expression of chamber specific markers indicates a lack of chamber differentiation
• at E9.5 two small chamber-like swellings separated by a circumferential sulcus are seen which lack trabeculae and endocardial cushions and the heart is small, forward looped, and hourglass shaped
|
|
• at E9.0 the mitotic index in the outflow and inflow ventricle-like chambers are reduced 6- to 7-fold and 2.2 to 3.3-fold, respectively
|
embryo
|
• elevated apoptosis is seen in the mesodermal layer at E9.5
|
|
• the yolk sac vascular plexus forms but is not remodeled into mature vessels
|
muscle
|
• at E9.0 the mitotic index in the outflow and inflow ventricle-like chambers are reduced 6- to 7-fold and 2.2 to 3.3-fold, respectively
|
growth/size/body
|
• delayed closure of the foregut pocket
|
cellular
|
• at E9.0 the mitotic index in the outflow and inflow ventricle-like chambers are reduced 6- to 7-fold and 2.2 to 3.3-fold, respectively
