概括
在小鼠中评估Cre-lox系统以准小脑Purkinje细胞 (PCs) 显示,记者表达并不总是等于蛋白质损失. 一个Calb1 Cre线有效地准胚胎PC,而其他线则显示这些关键神经元的重组变化或不存在.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 在神经科学研究中,Cre-lox系统对于向基因操纵至关重要.
- 大脑皮尔金耶细胞 (PCs) 对于运动控制和学习至关重要.
- 精确准PC中的基因删除对于理解其功能至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估各种Cre-driver系的疗效以及针对小鼠小脑Purkinje细胞 (PCs) 的病毒方法.
- 评估Cre介导的重组与随后的蛋白质损失之间的相关性,特别是对于Dystroglycan (Dag1) 基因.
- 描述PC中不同Cre向策略的重组和蛋白质损失的发育时间.
主要方法:
- 使用了Cre-lox系统与光记者 (Ai14) 和化Dystroglycan (Dag1) 鼠标线.
- 在使用多个Cre驱动线 (Pcp2, Ptf1a, Nestin, Calb1) 的Purkinje细胞中评估了Cre介导的重组和Dag1蛋白损失.
- 在出生后的第0天 (P0) 采用Adeno相关病毒血清型8 (AAV8) 介导的Cre复合酶.
主要成果:
- Pcp2 Cre线在PCs中显示了P7-P14的马赛克重组,Dag1蛋白质的损失直到P30才完全.
- 由于短暂的前体表达,Ptf1a Cre导致PC和内部神经元中随机的Dag1蛋白损失.
- 尼斯丁Cre没有驱动PC的重组,而Calb1Cre使胚胎PC的有效向和早期的Dag1损失成为可能;AAV8-Cre的输送导致了逐渐的PC转导和延迟的Dag1损失 (由P35).
结论:
- 不同的Cre-driver线和病毒方法在准小脑PC时表现出不同的效率和时间概况.
- 报告者基因表达并不总是准确地反映功能性蛋白质淘汰,突出显示了蛋白质水平验证的必要性.
- Calb1 Cre系列是有效的向胚胎PCs,使基因删除在synaptogenesis之前,而其他工具提供不同的发育窗口.

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.

In-vitro Mutagenesis

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.
