Delayed branching morphogenesis and inadequately expanded alveoli in Bmpertm1Cpat/Bmper+ lungs
respiratory system
|
• overgrowth of mesenchymal cells appears to prevent complete alveoli expansion with smaller and fewer terminal sacs that are separated by thickened interstitial mesenchyme unlike in wild-type mice
• at E18.5, lungs have fewer apoptotic cells than in wild-type lungs
|
|
• branching morphogenesis in the lung is delayed compared to in wild-type mice
• however, lung differentiation and cell proliferation are normal
|
|
• smaller and fewer terminal sacs separated by thickened interstitial mesenchyme
|
|
• at E18.5, the ratio of type II epithelial cells to total distal cells is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
embryo
|
• mice exhibit widespread tissue-specific defects during embryonic development
|
cardiovascular system
|
• in a model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (5 days of hyperoxia followed by hypoxia), mutants show an increased rate of retinal revascularization and faster recovery of the retinal vascular bed
• hypoxic retinas show a more dense and complex network of newly formed vessels, with increased numbers of branching points and angiogenic sprouts at the leading edge of the newly formed vasculature
|
vision/eye
|
• in a model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (5 days of hyperoxia followed by hypoxia), mutants show an increased rate of retinal revascularization and faster recovery of the retinal vascular bed
• hypoxic retinas show a more dense and complex network of newly formed vessels, with increased numbers of branching points and angiogenic sprouts at the leading edge of the newly formed vasculature
