Separation at the mesenchymal-epithelial junctions in skin of Itgb4tm1Efu/Itgb4tm1Efu mice

mortality/aging
• mice die within hours of birth due to respiratory failure, gastrointestional problems, and gross skin denuding

digestive/alimentary system
• mice exhibit separation of the epithelial-mesenchymal junctions in the tongue and esophagus unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit epithelial degeneration unlike in wild-type mice
• outer layers detach and fuse through extracellular material to the opposing attached areas unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit separation of the epithelial-mesenchymal junctions in the tongue and esophagus unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit epithelial degeneration unlike in wild-type mice
• outer layers detach and fuse through extracellular material to the opposing attached areas unlike in wild-type mice

respiratory system

craniofacial
• mice exhibit separation of the epithelial-mesenchymal junctions in the tongue and esophagus unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit epithelial degeneration unlike in wild-type mice
• outer layers detach and fuse through extracellular material to the opposing attached areas unlike in wild-type mice

integument
• cells within the layer are disorganized, detached from the basal lamina, and form pearls of cells with different-sized-nuclei and very little cytoplasm unlike in wild-type mice
• the innermost layer of the basal layer exhibit degeneration and hemidesmosomes are lost unlike in wild-type mice
• cells within the layer are disorganized, and pearls of cells with different-sized-nuclei and very little cytoplasm are present unlike in wild-type mice
• pearls of cells with different-sized-nuclei and very little cytoplasm are present unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit separation of the dermo-epidermal junctions in the skin unlike in wild-type mice
• blistering at birth is severe unlike in wild-type mice
• however, delivery by Cesarean section reduced blistering
• at E15.5 skin is fragile unlike in wild-type mice
• at birth large sections of skin peel from the body surface unlike in wild-type mice
• mitotic cells are observed in the suprabasal layer unlike in wild-type mice
• basal epidermal cells exhibit apoptosis unlike in wild-type mice

growth/size/body
• mice exhibit separation of the epithelial-mesenchymal junctions in the tongue and esophagus unlike in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit epithelial degeneration unlike in wild-type mice
• outer layers detach and fuse through extracellular material to the opposing attached areas unlike in wild-type mice
