Dual-modality gene reporter for in vivo imaging.
The ability to track cells and their patterns of gene expression in living organisms can increase our understanding of tissue development and disease. Gene reporters for bioluminescence, fluorescence, radionuclide, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been described but these suffer variously from limited depth penetration, spatial resolution, and sensitivity. We describe here a gene repor...
متن کاملIn vivo analysis of glucocorticoid-induced reporter gene expression using gene gun DNA delivery.
Glucocorticoid regulates various physiological processes via the activation and repression of gene expression. The anti-inflammatory effects and the adverse effects are believed to be dependent on the repression and the activation of genes, respectively. Reporter gene assay is a useful technique to separately evaluate these two functions and has been used for in vitro screening of novel ligands...
متن کاملInvestigation of an Optimized Context for the Expression of GFP as a Reporter Gene in Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
Background: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a novel recombinant eukaryotic expression system with many advantages including fast growth rate, rapid scalability, absence of human pathogens and the ability to fold and assemble complex proteins accurately, however, obstacle relatively low expression level necessitates optimizing foreign gene expression in this system. The Green Fluorescent Protein (G...
متن کاملIn vivo Monitoring of microRNA Biogenesis Using Reporter Gene Imaging
MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs regulating gene expression, through base paring with their target mRNAs, which have been actively investigated as key regulators in a wide range of biological processes. Conventional methods such as Northern blot are generally time-consuming, non-repeatable, and cannot be applied in vivo due to the requirement for cell fixation. Therefore, a noninvasive imagin...
متن کاملIn Vivo SPECT Reporter Gene Imaging of Regulatory T Cells
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) were identified several years ago and are key in controlling autoimmune diseases and limiting immune responses to foreign antigens, including alloantigens. In vivo imaging techniques including intravital microscopy as well as whole body imaging using bioluminescence probes have contributed to the understanding of in vivo Treg function, their mechanisms of action and t...
