Fig. 5. Expression of wild-type and
4-angiomotin in endothelial cells of
transgenic mice. (A) TIE-angiomotin and TIE-
4 angiomotin constructs.
(B) Southern blot showing integration of TIE constructs in angiomotin
(TIE-amot) and
4-angiomotin (TIE-
4) transgenic embryos (E9.5)
and adult mice, and expression of the transgenes, analyzed by RT-PCR, showing
angiomotin expression in angiomotin (TIE-ang) and
4-angiomotin
(TIE-
4) in transgenic embryos (E9.5) and adult mice (hAmot, human
angiomotin). (C-H) Phenotype of TIE-angiomotin and TIE-
4 angiomotin
embryos at E9.5. TIE-angiomotin embryos (D) are phenotypically
indistinguishable from their wild-type littermates (C). (E) Wild-type
littermate of the TIE-
4 angiomotin embryos. (F) Cranial hemorrhage in
TIE-
4 angiomotin-expressing embryo. (G,H) Embryonic malformations in
TIE-
4 angiomotin embryos.
