Variegation of the phenotype induced by the Gata1low mutation in mice of different genetic backgrounds.
All mice harboring the X-linked Gata1low mutation in a predominantly CD1 background are born anemic and thrombocytopenic. They recover from anemia at 1 month of age but remain thrombocytopenic all their life and develop myelofibrosis, a syndrome similar to human idiopathic myelofibrosis, at 12 months. The effects of the genetic background on the myelofibrosis developed by Gata1low mice was asse...
متن کامل5-BDBD ameliorates an OVA-induced allergic asthma by the reduction of Th2 cytokines production
Objective(s): P2X4R is expressed in immunocyte and lung tissues. It has been a focus in inflammatory responses recently. This study investigated whether blockage of P2X4R attenuates allergic inflammation by modulating T cell response in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. Materials and Methods: Ovalbumin was used to sensitize and challenge for a mouse model. Intranasal application of 5-BDBD, P2X4R antag...
متن کاملGATA factor transgenes under GATA-1 locus control rescue germline GATA-1 mutant deficiencies.
GATA-1 germline mutation in mice results in embryonic lethality due to defective erythroid cell maturation, and thus other hematopoietic GATA factors do not compensate for the loss of GATA-1. To determine whether the obligate presence of GATA-1 in erythroid cells is due to its distinct biochemical properties or spatiotemporal patterning, we attempted to rescue GATA-1 mutant mice with hematopoie...
متن کاملI-54: New Models for Human and Mouse Genetic
The possibility to reprogram somatic human cells will greatly and deeply change genetic approach and allow the development of new tools to study genetics diseases. Indeed, our ability to study human genetic diseases suffers from the lack of valid in vitro models. The latter should (i) be originating from human primary cells, (ii) be able to self-renew for a long time and (iii) be able to differ...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Abstract Background and objectives: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal disorder characterized by increased levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The FH clinical phenotype has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and premature death. The mutation in LDLR gene in most cases is responsible for FH phenotype. Furthermore, other ...
