Erythropoiesis and globin switching in compound Klf1::Bcl11a mutant mice.
B-cell lymphoma 11A (BCL11A) downregulation in human primary adult erythroid progenitors results in elevated expression of fetal γ-globin. Recent reports showed that BCL11A expression is activated by KLF1, leading to γ-globin repression. To study regulation of erythropoiesis and globin expression by KLF1 and BCL11A in an in vivo model, we used mice carrying a human β-globin locus transgene with...
متن کاملB-lymphocyte deficiency increases atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-null mice.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by innate and adaptive immune responses. We investigated the role of B cells and antibodies in the development of atherosclerosis in low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient (LDLR(-/-)) mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Using wild-type and B cell-deficient mice as bone marrow donors, we were able to generate LDLR(-/-) mice tha...
متن کاملType-I Interferon Receptor Deficiency Reduces Lupus-like Disease in NZB Mice
Indirect evidence suggests that type-I interferons (IFN-alpha/beta) play a significant role in the pathogenesis of lupus. To directly examine the contribution of these pleiotropic molecules, we created congenic NZB mice lacking the alpha-chain of IFN-alpha/betaR, the common receptor for the multiple IFN-alpha/beta species. Compared with littermate controls, homozygous IFN-alpha/betaR-deleted NZ...
متن کاملGamma interferon (IFN-gamma) receptor null-mutant mice are more susceptible to herpes simplex virus type 1 infection than IFN-gamma ligand null-mutant mice.
Mouse strains with null mutations in the gamma interferon gene (Ifng) or the gamma interferon receptor gene (Ifngr) have been engineered. The use of these strains as animal models of viral and bacterial infections has enhanced our understanding of the role of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in the host immune response. However, direct comparisons between Ifng-/- (GKO) and Ifngr-/- (RGKO) mice have...
متن کاملDepletion of definitive gut endoderm in Sox17-null mutant mice.
In the mouse, the definitive endoderm is derived from the epiblast during gastrulation, and, at the early organogenesis stage, forms the primitive gut tube, which gives rise to the digestive tract, liver, pancreas and associated visceral organs. The transcription factors, Sox17 (a Sry-related HMG box factor) and its upstream factors, Mixer (homeobox factor) and Casanova (a novel Sox factor), ha...
