mortality/aging
|
• homozygotes die around E10.5
|
cardiovascular system
|
• vessels development is impaired
|
|
• heart development arrests at the linear tube stage (E8.5)
|
|
• at E9.5 the heart tube fails to elongate and has two constrictions separating the putative ventricle from the inflow and outflow tract regions
• endocardial cushion accumulates at the anterior constriction disrupting the continuity of the endocardial lining
• dorsoventral patterning and chamber differentiation are absent in mutant hearts
|
|
• blood circulation is absent
|
|
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is significantly reduced at E8.5-E8.75; however proliferation in the extracardiac regions is normal at this time
|
embryo
|
• cellular proliferation in all tissues is arrested at E9.5
|
|
• severe growth retardation seen at E9.5
|
