Comparison of gene expression pattern between Wild-type and Hypb knockout embryo yolk sacs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study aimed at exploring the physiological function of mammalian HYPB by means of knockout mouse model. Homogenous disruption of mouse Hypb gene leads to embryonic lethality at E10.5-E11.5. Severe vascular defects were observed in the Hypb-/- embryos, yolk sac and placenta.In the mutant embryo and yolk sac, disorganized and abnormally dilated capillaries cannot be remodeled into large blood vessels or intricate networks. Thus, our results suggest that the mammalian HYPB HMT plays an important role in embryonic vascularization. Keywords: knockout, mouse embryo development, angiogenesis, yolk sac, E9.0, E10.5
