Noninvasive tracking of gene expression by reporter transgene imaging.
I n this issue of PNAS, the laboratory that discovered leptin (1) reports the development of a novel in vivo imaging strategy that permits noninvasive estimation of leptin expression (2). They have engineered a BAC transgenic mouse strain expressing a luciferase reporter gene under the control of adipocyte-specific leptin regulatory sequences. Because of the ample evidence of correlation betwee...
متن کاملMRI Reporter Genes for Noninvasive Molecular Imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important imaging technologies used in clinical diagnosis. Reporter genes for MRI can be applied to accurately track the delivery of cell in cell therapy, evaluate the therapy effect of gene delivery, and monitor tissue/cell-specific microenvironments. Commonly used reporter genes for MRI usually include genes encoding the enzyme (e.g., tyrosi...
متن کاملNoninvasive Monitoring of Placenta-Specific Transgene Expression by Bioluminescence Imaging
BACKGROUND Placental dysfunction underlies numerous complications of pregnancy. A major obstacle to understanding the roles of potential mediators of placental pathology has been the absence of suitable methods for tissue-specific gene manipulation and sensitive assays for studying gene functions in the placentas of intact animals. We describe a sensitive and noninvasive method of repetitively ...
متن کاملNoninvasive Stem Cell Labeling Using USPIO Technique and their Detection with MRI
Background: To date, several imaging techniques to track stem cells are used such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), fluorescence imaging, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although, overall sensitivity of MRI compared to SPECT and Bioluminescence techniques are lower, but due to high spatial reso...
متن کاملDetailed method description for noninvasive monitoring of differentiation status of human embryonic stem cells.
The (non)differentiation status of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is usually analyzed by determination of key pluripotency defining markers (e.g., OCT4, Nanog, SOX2) by means of reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), flow cytometry (FC), and immunostaining. Despite proven usefulness of these techniques, their destructive nature makes it impossible to follow ...
