mortality/aging
|
• no live embryos are recovered after E10.5
• double mutants with wild-type (Sox2-cre E2f7fl/- E28fl/-) placentas appear normal at E10.5 and lack the developmental phenotypes in double null embryos
• Note: Sox2-cre is expressed only in the inner cell mass with no extraembronic tissue expression so the placentas are normal
• however, embryos rescued from lethality during development die within a few days of birth
|
growth/size/body
embryo
|
• vascular network is poorly formed, with maternal sinusoids rarely adjacent to fetal blood vessels
|
|
• placentas have an increased number of apoptotic spongiotrophoblast cells
|
|
• embryos show profound stress response
• widespread apoptosis is observed in embryos
|
|
• placentas are smaller overall
|
|
• abnormally large clusters of densely packed trophoblast cells which do not effectively invade the maternal decidua
|
|
• placentas have an increased number of apoptotic spongiotrophoblast cells
|
|
• placentas display altered differentiation of multiple extraembryonic cell lineages

embryo
N |
• placentas appear normal with well-organized labyrinthine architecture and vasculature, and are functional as fetuses lack signs of acute stress response or ectopic cell apoptosis
• live embryos/fetuses are recovered at all stages analyzed, including at birth

mortality/aging
|
• by E10.5, only 45% of double mutants are alive and by E11.5 all are dead
|
growth/size/body
embryo
|
• live E10.5 embryos often have vascular defects in the yolk sac
|
|
• massive apoptosis in embryos at E9.5; multiple areas within the head mesenchyme, branchial arch, somites, and neural tube contain cells with pyknotic nuclei surrounded by bright eosinophilic cytoplasm
|
cardiovascular system
|
• large dilated blood vessels
|
|
• live E10.5 embryos often have vascular defects in the yolk sac
|

• large dilated blood vessels associated with multifocal hemorrhages
