nervous system
|
• adverse affect on neuron migration
|
|
• mild cellular disorganization in the ventricular zone of the cortex at E12.5
• becoming more extreme at E16.5
• normal cellular organization at the level of the 3rd ventricle where cre is not expressed
• cortex thickness and lamination are normal at E16.5
|
cellular
|
• spindle orientation in cortical progenitor cells tends to shift from horizontal to oblique
• vertical spindle orientation is normal
|
|
• increased number of mitotic cells in cortex with basal location rather than apical location
• apically located proliferating cells are also increased
• increased number of mitotic cells in cortex over all
|
|
• adverse affect on neuron migration

vision/eye
|
• no histological abnormalities at 2 months of age
|
|
• occasional ingression of photoreceptors at 2 months
|
|
• defects observed at 6 months along with vascular abnormalities
• occasional ectopic photo receptors between the outer limiting membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium
• thinning of outer limiting membrane and integrity disrupted at 6 and 12 months
• 6 month old mice exposed to 3000 lux white light for 72 hours develop foci of cells in the space between the outer limiting membrane and the retinal pigment layer
• integrity of outer limiting membrane is disrupted in 6 month old mice by exposure to 3000 lux white light for 72 hours
|
|
• occasional retinal degeneration and rosettes at 3 months of age
• degeneration detected at 6 months of age
• morphological defects are more distinct at 12 months
|
|
• increased in 6 month old mice exposed to 3000 lux white light for 72 hours
• massive gliosis when exposed to light
|
|
• both scotopic and photopic retinography varies from normal to mildly subnormal depending on the extent of morphological abnormalities
