Screening Estrogenic Activities of Chemicals or Mixtures In Vivo Using Transgenic (cyp19a1b-GFP) Zebrafish Embryos
The tg(cyp19a1b-GFP) transgenic zebrafish expresses GFP (green fluorescent protein) under the control of the cyp19a1b gene, encoding brain aromatase. This gene has two major characteristics: (i) it is only expressed in radial glial progenitors in the brain of fish and (ii) it is exquisitely sensitive to estrogens. Based on these properties, we demonstrate that natural or synthetic hormones (alo...
متن کاملAnalysis of thrombocyte development in CD41-GFP transgenic zebrafish.
Thrombocytes are the nucleated equivalent of platelets in nonmammalian vertebrates such as the zebrafish, Danio rerio. We have cloned zebrafish CD41 cDNA (alpha(IIb), glycoprotein IIb [GPIIb]) and its promoter and have generated transgenic zebrafish lines with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged thrombocytes. CD41 mRNA transcripts appeared 42 hours after fertilization (hpf) by reverse-transc...
متن کاملMitochondrial degradation by autophagy (mitophagy) in GFP-LC3 transgenic hepatocytes during nutrient deprivation.
Fasting in vivo and nutrient deprivation in vitro enhance sequestration of mitochondria and other organelles by autophagy for recycling of essential nutrients. Here our goal was to use a transgenic mouse strain expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to rat microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain 3 (LC3), a marker protein for autophagy, to characterize the dynamics of mitochondria...
متن کاملUses of GFP in transgenic vertebrates.
The ability to express exogenous DNA in vertebrate animals has been invaluable to a wide range of biological studies. Our understanding of processes as diverse as gene expression, cell lineage relationships, and gene function have all benefited from the use of " transgenic " animals. Traditionally, analysis of reporter genes such as lacZ in transgenic animals usually involved killing the animal...
متن کاملDouble Transgenic Mice Crossed GFP-LC3 Transgenic Mice With αMyHC-mCherry-LC3 Transgenic Mice Are a New and Useful Tool to Exa
utophagy is an intracellular bulk degradation process in which various cytoplasmic components, such as unfolded proteins and damaged organelles, are transported in double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes through the cytoplasm to lysosomes. The autophagosome acquires hydrolytic enzymes by fusing with the lysosome to generate an autolysosome, whose contents are then degraded and recycled. ...
