Generation of Fgfr3 Conditional Knockout Mice
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), highly conserved in both humans and murine, is one of key tyrosine kinase receptors for FGF. FGFR3 is expressed in different tissues, including cartilage, brain, kidney, and intestine at different development stages. Conventional knockout of Fgfr3 alleles leads to short life span, and overgrowth of bone. In clinic, human FGFR3 mutations are responsib...
متن کاملSomatostatin-IRES-Cre Mice: Between Knockout and Wild-Type?
The neuropeptide somatostatin (SOM) is widely expressed in rodent brain and somatostatin-IRES-Cre (SOM-cre) mouse strains are increasingly used to unravel the physiology of SOM-containing neurons. However, while knock-in targeting strategy greatly improves Cre-Lox system accuracy, recent reports have shown that genomic insertion of Cre construct per se can markedly affect physiological function...
متن کاملTissue-specific transgenic and knockout mice.
Analysis of genetically engineered mice is crucial for our understanding of the in vivo function of genes and proteins in the whole organism. This includes inactivation of a gene or the generation of specific mutations. The development of knockout and transgenic technologies in the mouse, therefore, represents a powerful tool for elucidating gene function, for modeling of human diseases, and po...
متن کاملRenal phenotype of UT-A urea transporter knockout mice.
The urea transporters UT-A1 and UT-A3 mediate rapid transepithelial urea transport across the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD). In a previous study, using a new mouse model in which both UT-A1 and UT-A3 were genetically deleted from the IMCD (UT-A1/3(-/-) mice), we investigated the role of these transporters in the function of the renal inner medulla. Here the authors report a new series ...
متن کاملTissue-Specific GHR Knockout Mice: Metabolic Phenotypes
In addition to its major role in the regulation of somatic growth, growth hormone (GH) signaling has profound effects on function of various tissues in the body. However, the cellular location where the GH signaling exerts its effect on metabolic homeostasis remains largely unknown. Here, we briefly review recent progress and insights from mice with GH receptor deletion specifically in adipocyt...
