malfunction | analysis of the craniofacial morphology in chondroitin sulfate N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase-1 (T1) gene knockout (KO) mice. T1KO mice shows the impaired intramembranous ossification in the skull, and the final skull shape of adult mice include a shorter face, higher and broader calvaria than wild-type. Some of T1KO mice exhibit severe facial developmental defects, such as eye defects and cleft lip and palate, causing embryonic lethality. At the postnatal stages, T1KO mice with severely reduced chondroitin sulfate (CS) amounts show malocclusion, general skeletal dysplasia and skin hyperextension, closely resembling Ehlers-Danlos syndrome-like connective tissue disorders. The production of collagen type 1 is significantly downregulated in T1KO mice, and the deposition of CS-binding molecules, Wnt3a, is decreased with CS in extracellular matrices. The collagen fibers are irregular and aggregated, and connective tissues are dysorganized in the skin and calvaria of T1KO mice | Mus musculus |
