I-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 کاملStudy of Basement Membrane Type IV Collagen Appearance in the Brain Choroids Plexus of Mouse Fetuses
Introduction & Objective: The brain choroids plexus (BCP) plays an important role in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production, but its characterization is still incomplete. Collagen type IV, is one of the most important proteins of basement membrane (BM) and extracellular matrix (ECM) of BCP. In the present study we investigated the differential period of type IV collagen in basement membrane...
متن کاملP-111: An Attempt to Facilitate the Production of Transgenic Mouse As A Model for Gene Therapy of Gaucher Disease
Background: Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive inherited lysosomal storage disorder that affects many of the body's organs and tissues by defective function of the catabolic enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase. Gene therapy is one of the efficient ways for treatment of this disease. Due to the lack of appropriate animal models, in the field of gene therapy little progress has been done.Mate...
متن کاملThe Role of Type IV Collagen in Developing Lens in Mouse Fetuses
Objective(s) Extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (BM) play important roles in many developmental processes during development and after birth. Among the components of the BM, collagen fibers specially type IV are the most important parts. The aim of this study was to determine the time when collagen type IV appears in the BM of lens structure during mouse embryonic development. M...
متن کاملMild Myopathy Is Associated with COMP but Not MATN3 Mutations in Mouse Models of Genetic Skeletal Diseases
Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) are skeletal disorders resulting from mutations in COMP, matrilin-3 or collagen IX and are characterised by short-limbed dwarfism and premature osteoarthritis. Interestingly, recent reports suggest patients can also manifest with muscle weakness. Here we present a detailed analysis of two mouse models of the PSACH/MED disease ...
