mortality/aging
• while mice are present in Mendelian ratios at E18.5, no mice are present at P14
|
renal/urinary system
• as early as E16.5, the renal pelvis is enlarged unlike in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit stromal cell hyperplasia in the ureter unlike in wild-type mice
|
• at E13.5, more mesenchymal cells are found in the ureters compared to in wild-type mice likely due to increased migration
• however, cell proliferation in ureters is normal at E13.5
|
• ureters exhibit poorly condensed smooth muscle cells unlike in wild-type mice
|
• due to stromal cell hyperplasia
|
respiratory system
• at E18.5
|
• at E18.5, mice exhibit a failure of terminal sac morphogenesis with lung development only reaching the canalicular stage
|
• at E18.5, mice exhibit 1.6-fold increase in mesenchymal cell density
|
digestive/alimentary system
• stromal cell hyperplasia
|
• mice exhibit hyperplasia of stromal cells in the stomach compared to in wild-type mice
|
cellular
• in culture, fibroblasts exhibit increased migration towards PDGF-AA compared to wild-type cells
|
• at E13.5, esophageal cells exhibit increased proliferation compared to in wild-type mice
• however, cell proliferation in ureters is normal at E13.5
|
• in culture, primary fibroblasts exhibit increased growth potential compared to wild-type cells
|
• at E18.5, mice exhibit 1.6-fold increase in mesenchymal cell density
|
growth/size/body
• stromal cell hyperplasia
|
• from E12.5 to E16.5
|
• from E12.5 to E16.5
|
• at E18.5
|
skeleton
• at E18.5, mice have a wide, unsegmented sternum unlike in wild-type mice
• sternal bands are unfused
|
wide sternum
(

• at E18.5
|
• ribs exhibit incomplete contact
|
embryo
• from E12.5 to E16.5
|
• embryos exhibit uncondensed mesenchyme
|
immune system
• lymphatic structures are enlarged during late fetal development
