|
digestive/alimentary system
|
• exhibit blood in the intestinal lumen
|
|
• exhibit a shorter intestine
|
|
• the forestomach epithelium shows reduced number of granules in the superficial layers and altered expression of differentiation markers, indicating impaired terminal differentiation of the forestomach epithelium
|
homeostasis/metabolism
embryo
|
• exhibit neural tube closure defects
|
|
• 100% exhibit spina bifida
|
integument
|
• mild, but significant, increase in keratinocyte proliferation in the basal cell layer
|
|
• exhibit impaired barrier formation at E16.5 and E18.5
|
|
• exhibit altered terminal differentiation of the epidermis as indicated by altered expression of terminal differentiation markers
• lipid composition of the epidermis is altered with increased phospholipids and decreased fatty acids
|
|
• exhibit altered terminal differentiation of the epidermis as indicated by altered expression of terminal differentiation markers
|
|
• basal layer appears disorganized at E18.5
|
|
• cornified layer is more compact and often contains nuclei at E18.5
• the stratum corneum is more compact and the corneocytes are enlarged with irregular surface structure
• the space between corneocytes, where lipid lamellar layer normally exists, contains residual material not seen in wild-type
|
|
• corneocytes are enlarged with irregular surface structure
|
|
• the granular layer is expanded/thicker due to an increased number of cell layers and the cells of the most superficial layers are more cuboidal than normal at E18.5
• intracellular junctions in the top of the granular layer show abnormal separation of cells between desmosomal regions, creating the appearance of periodic intracelllualr spaces
|
|
• spinous layer is thicker at E18.5
|
|
• exhibit thickening of the epidermis by E16.5 that becomes more pronounced at E18.5
|

|
craniofacial
|
• bilateral epithelial abnormalities throughout the oral cavity and most frequently posterior to the tooth germs at E13.5, and include oral fusions (which have a loss of both the periderm and the basal epithelial layers)
• oral fusions occur between the mandible and either palate or the maxilla
• expression of p63 is reduced, indicating loss of basal epithelial cells at sites of the oral fusions
|
embryo
|
• expression of Krt6, a marker for the periderm, is reduced, indicating loss or oral periderm cells
