Muscle-specific overexpression of lipoprotein lipase in transgenic mice results in increased alpha-tocopherol levels in skeletal muscle.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has been implicated in the delivery of chylomicron-located alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TocH) to peripheral tissues. To investigate the role of LPL in the cellular uptake of alpha-TocH in peripheral tissue in vivo, three lines of transgenic mice [mouse creatine kinase- (MCK) L, MCK-M and MCK-H] expressing various amounts of human LPL were compared with regard to alpha-TocH l...
متن کاملLower skeletal muscle mass in male transgenic mice with muscle-specific overexpression of myostatin.
Mutations in the myostatin gene are associated with hypermuscularity, suggesting that myostatin inhibits skeletal muscle growth. We postulated that increased tissue-specific expression of myostatin protein in skeletal muscle would induce muscle loss. To investigate this hypothesis, we generated transgenic mice that overexpress myostatin protein selectively in the skeletal muscle, with or withou...
متن کاملTissue- and stratum-specific expression of the human involucrin promoter in transgenic mice.
Involucrin is a marker of keratinocyte terminal differentiation and is expressed only in the suprabasal layers of stratified squamous epithelium. In a previous study with various cell types in culture, we noted that expression of the putative human involucrin promoter was keratinocyte specific. To determine if this promoter is sufficient to direct expression to the suprabasal cells of stratifie...
متن کاملPosition-specific activity of the Hox1.1 promoter in transgenic mice.
During development, positional values have to be assigned to groups of cells. The murine Hox genes are a class of genes that are predicted to be involved at some stage in this process. During embryogenesis they are expressed in distinct overlapping region- and stage-specific patterns and therefore must be regulated in response to positional information. In this study, we have analysed the activ...
متن کاملTissue specific expression of the human alpha-1-antitrypsin gene in transgenic mice.
Normal and mutant human alpha-1-antitrypsin genes were cloned from a PiMZ heterozygous individual. Nucleotide sequence comparison demonstrated a T to C transition in exon III and an G to A transition in exon V of the PiZ gene. A 14.4 kb DNA fragment containing the entire PiM gene plus 2 kb of 5' and 3' flanking genomic DNA sequences was introduced into the germ line of mice and five F0 transgen...
