mortality/aging
• no viable embryos are identified after E14.5
• however, embryos appear grossly normal at E12.5

homeostasis/metabolism
• severe edema at E13.5

cardiovascular system
• severe thinning of the myocardium by E12.5
• abnormal heart development between E10.5 and E12.5
• at E12.5, the number of tropomyosin (TMY)-positive cardiomyocytes is significantly reduced in the ventricles
• however, no increase in programmed cell death is observed and actin filaments are intact
• heart fails to form an apex for either the left or the right ventricle
• enlarged right atrium at E12.5; more pronounced at E13.5
• ballooning of the right atria by E13.5, indicating blood pooling in the right ventricle
• misshapen heart at E13.5
• severe cardiac hypoplasia by E13.5
• at E12.5, cardiac hypoplasia is specific to cardiomyocytes and does not affect the epicardium or endothelial cells
• narrower ventricular lumens by E13.5
• decreased trabeculation at E12.5
• underdeveloped interventricular septum at E12.5
• membranous ventricular septal defects by E13.5
• malformed left ventricle at E12.5; more pronounced at E13.5
• thinning of the ventricular walls starting at E12.5
• inflated pericardial sacs at E13.5
• severe blood hemorrhaging at E13.5
• decreased blood flow throughout the vasculature by E13.5
• at E12.5, the G1-to-S phase progression of cardiomyocytes is impaired, as shown by a prolonged or arrested G1 phase, a reduction in DNA synthesis, an increase in phospho-RB, and a decrease in the cardiac mitotic index
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is significantly reduced in E12.5 ventricles, as shown by EdU incorporation

cellular
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is significantly reduced in E12.5 ventricles, as shown by EdU incorporation
• at E12.5, cell cycle profiling of cardiac nuclei revealed a significant increase of cells in G1 phase and a simultaneous decrease of cells in S phase, with no alteration in the % of cells in G2 phase
• cardiomyocyte mitotic index is significantly reduced in E12.5 ventricles, as shown by phospho-histone H3 staining

muscle
• decreased trabeculation at E12.5
• severe thinning of the myocardium by E12.5
• cardiomyocyte proliferation is significantly reduced in E12.5 ventricles, as shown by EdU incorporation
