Human Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) Transgenesis Fully Rescues Noradrenergic Function in Dopamine β-Hydroxylase Knockout Mice.
Dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) converts dopamine (DA) to norepinephrine (NE) in noradrenergic/adrenergic cells. DBH deficiency prevents NE production and causes sympathetic failure, hypotension and ptosis in humans and mice; DBH knockout (Dbh -/-) mice reveal other NE deficiency phenotypes including embryonic lethality, delayed growth, and behavioral defects. Furthermore, a single nucleotide poly...
متن کاملRNA interference rescue by bacterial artificial chromosome transgenesis in mammalian tissue culture cells.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a widely used method for analysis of gene function in tissue culture cells. However, to date there has been no reliable method for testing the specificity of any particular RNAi experiment. The ideal experiment is to rescue the phenotype by expression of the target gene in a form refractory to RNAi. The transgene should be expressed at physiological levels and with it...
متن کاملAnalysis of mammalian central nervous system gene expression and function using bacterial artificial chromosome-mediated transgenesis.
The anatomical complexity of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) presents special problems for the analysis of CNS gene expression and function. The most difficult challenge is presented by the simple fact that there are hundreds of functionally and morphologically defined cell types in the CNS. Given this complexity, the interpretation of CNS phenotypes is often problematic. The prepara...
متن کاملExpression and function profiling of orphan nuclear receptors using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenesis.
The long term goal of the Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas (NURSA) resides in unraveling the physiological and pathological functions of nuclear receptors (NRs) at the molecular, biochemical and cellular levels. This multi-oriented task requires complementary approaches in order to determine the specific function(s) and precise expression and receptor activity patterns for each individual conve...
متن کاملAsymmetry and skin pigmentary anomalies in chromosome mosaicism.
We report six persons mosaic for a chromosome anomaly. All were mentally retarded and dysmorphic. Unilateral or asymmetrical features were found in all cases, in one an unusual transverse terminal limb anomaly, and in the others various degrees of hemiatrophy of the left side of the body. Five of the subjects had skin pigmentary anomalies which were distributed in the lines of Blaschko. The abn...
