Cre-mediated gene deletion in the mammary gland.
To delete genes specifically from mammary tissue using the Cre-lox system, we have established transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the WAP gene promoter and the MMTV LTR. Cre activity in these mice was evaluated by three criteria. First, the tissue distribution of Cre mRNA was analyzed. Second, an adenovirus carrying a reporter gene was used to determine expression at th...
متن کاملConditional Wwox Deletion in Mouse Mammary Gland by Means of Two Cre Recombinase Approaches
Loss of WWOX expression has been reported in many different cancers including breast cancer. Elucidating the function of this gene in adult tissues has not been possible with full Wwox knockout models. Here we characterize the first conditional models of Wwox ablation in mouse mammary epithelium utilizing two transgenic lines expressing Cre recombinase, keratin 5-Cre (BK5-Cre) and MMTV-Cre. In ...

متن کاملNestin-Cre mediated deletion of Pitx2 in the mouse.
Nestin-Cre mice are widely used to generate gene deletions in the developing brain. Surprisingly, fewNestin-Cre lines have been characterized for their temporal and brain region-specific recombination. In addition, some Nestin-Cre lines express Cre outside the central nervous system, making it difficult to choose appropriate lines for targeting genes with brain region-restricted expression. Her...
متن کاملGene expression in the mammary gland.
We have demonstrated that the ovine genomic clone SS1 can be used to generate transgenic mice that produce significant quantities of BLG protein in milk. The smallest BLG construct so far examined that retains the ability to direct BLG to mouse milk encompasses approximately 7.3 kb of genomic DNA, of which about 0.8 kb is derived from the promoter region. Gene expression is tissue-specific and ...
