Expression of GFP Gene in Gonads of Chicken Embryos by Transfecting Primordial Germ Cells in vitro or in vivo using the PiggyBac Transposon Vector System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present study, chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) were transfected with GFP gene in vitro or in vivo using the piggyBac transposon vector system. PGCs cultured for 465 days were transfected in vitro, and GFP gene expression was observed in 25% of the treated PGCs after culturing for further 42 days. The cultured PGCs expressing GFP gene were transferred to recipient embryos and strong GFP gene expression was observed in the recipient gonads at day 18.5 of incubation. Circulating PGCs were transfected in vivo, and intense GFP gene expression was observed in the gonads of recipient embryos at day 18.5 of incubation. The procedure employed in the present study will contribute to successful gene transfer into chickens.

A Novel Piggybac Transposon Inducible Expression System Identifies a Role for Akt Signalling in Primordial Germ Cell Migration
In this work, we describe a single piggyBac transposon system containing both a tet-activator and a doxycycline-inducible expression cassette. We demonstrate that a gene product can be conditionally expressed from the integrated transposon and a second gene can be simultaneously targeted by a short hairpin RNA contained within the transposon, both in vivo and in mammalian and avian cell lines. ...

The derivation of germ-line competent avian primordial germ cells establishes a cell-based model system for the investigation of germ cell differentiation and the production of genetically modified animals. Current methods to modify primordial germ cells using DNA or retroviral vectors are inefficient and prone to epigenetic silencing. Here, we validate the use of transposable elements for the ...

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...

CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful gene editing tool in vivo and in vitro. Currently, CRISPR/Cas9 delivery cells or tissue with different vehicles are available, and Adeno- associated virus (AAV) in one of them. Due to AAV packaging size limitation, AAV base vectors that carry CRISPR/Cas9 system do not have florescent tag like GFP for simple detection and navigation of cells, containing AAV. The ...
متن کاملI-18: Avian Chimeras and Germ Cell Migration
Background: In avian species, the germ line stem cell population arises outside of the embryonic gonad and proceeds on a circuitous migration to the germinal epithelium. Specifically, in the avian embryo, the process of germ line stem cell migration proceeds through a series of active and passive migratory phases. The germline stem cells or primordial germ cells (PGCs) located in the epiblast o...
