条件性敲除APC基因小鼠肠道腺瘤模型的构建

腺瘤性结肠息肉病(adenomatous polyposis coli,APC)基因是家族性腺瘤性息肉病(familial adenomatous polyposis,FAP)的致病基因,APC基因的突变导致小鼠多处产生肿瘤,但肠道条件性敲除APC基因后,小鼠的表型并不清楚。该研究利用Cre-LoxP重组酶系统,在肠道绒毛和隐窝上皮细胞条件性敲除APC基因,并对小鼠表型进行鉴定和分析。将Villin Cre小鼠和APC~(fl/fl)小鼠合笼得到Villin Cre;APC~(fl/+)小鼠;有意思的是后者进一步与APC~(fl/fl)小鼠合笼,却没有得到Villin Cre;APC~(fl/fl)小鼠。进一步解剖Villin Cre;APC~(fl/+)小鼠,发现其自发产生肠道肿瘤,并能携瘤生存,免疫组化显示瘤体组织激活了Wnt信号通路。结果表明成功地构建了小鼠肠道条件性敲除APC基因腺瘤模型,为进一步研究APC基因在肠道发育以及肠道肿瘤的作用提供了优良的工具。     

骨保护素(Opg)基因敲除小鼠发生高转换型骨质疏松和动脉钙化

骨质疏松以及动脉钙化均是危害极大的临床常见病变,骨保护素(OPG)可能是联系两者的分子之一.构建替换型载体pXpPNT-OPG,利用同源重组,将编码前3个蛋白质结构域的小鼠Opg基因组第二外显子序列剔除掉.通过胚胎干细胞(ES)基因打靶获得了正确重组的ES细胞克隆,ES细胞显微注射后获得嵌合体小鼠,交配传代获得杂合子和纯合子小鼠.RT-PCR和蛋白质印迹实验结果显示,纯合子小鼠没有Opg基因的表达.纯合子小鼠骨量丢失明显,骨生物力学指标明显下降,发生严重的骨质疏松,此外,还有50%以上的纯合子小鼠在早期出现动脉中层钙化.小鼠破骨功能亢进,与此同时,成熟成骨细胞数量增加,矿化功能强于野生型.Opg基因缺失小鼠骨中钙和磷大量流失,而血清中水平没有变化,这提示钙磷代谢异常不是OPG缺失导致动脉钙化的原因.对建立的Opg基因敲除小鼠模型进一步深入的研究,将有助于说明动脉钙化和骨质疏松症相互联系的分子机制,为防治骨质疏松症和动脉钙化的并发提供理论基础支持.

Macrophage lipoprotein lipase modulates the development of atherosclerosis but not adiposity

The role of macrophage lipoprotein lipase (LpL) in the development of atherosclerosis and adiposity was examined in macrophage LpL knockout (MLpLKO) mice. MLpLKO mice were generated using cre-loxP gene targeting. Loss of LpL in macrophages did not alter plasma LpL activity or lipoprotein levels. Incubation of apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-deficient β-VLDL with peritoneal macrophages from ApoE knockout mice lacking macrophage LpL (MLpLKO/ApoEKO) led to less cholesteryl ester formation than that found with ApoEKO macrophages. MLpLKO/ApoEKO macrophages had reduced intracellular triglyceride levels, with decreased CD36 and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 mRNA levels compared with ApoEKO macrophages, when incubated with VLDL. Although both MLpLKO/ApoEKO and ApoEKO mice developed comparable hypercholesterolemia in response to feeding with a Western-type diet for 12 weeks, atherosclerosis was less in MLpLKO/ApoEKO mice. Epididymal fat mass and gene expression levels associated with inflammation did not differ between the two groups. In conclusion, macrophage LpL plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis but not adiposity.     

Transgenic and tissue culture analyses of the muscle creatine kinase enhancer Trex control element in skeletal and cardiac muscle indicate differences in gene expression between muscle types

The muscle creatine kinase (MCK) gene is expressed at high levels only in differentiated skeletal and cardiac muscle. The activity of the cloned enhancer–promoter has previously been shown to be dependent on the Trex element which is specifically bound by a yet unidentified nuclear factor, TrexBF. We have further characterized the function of the Trex site by comparing wild-type and Trex-mutated MCK transgenes in five mouse skeletal muscles: quadriceps, extensor digitorum longus (EDL), soleus, diaphragm, and distal tongue, as well as in heart ventricular muscle. Several types of statistical analysis including analysis of variance (ANOVA) and rank sum tests were used to compare expression between muscle types and between constructs. Upon mutation of the Trex site, median transgene expression levels decreased 3- to 120-fold in the muscles examined, with statistically significant differences in all muscles except the EDL. Expression in the largely slow soleus muscle was more affected than in the EDL, and expression in the distal tongue and diaphragm muscles was affected more than in soleus. Median expression of the transgene in ventricle decreased about 18-fold upon Trex mutation. Transfections into neonatal rat myocardiocytes confirmed the importance of the Trex site for MCK enhancer activity in heart muscle, but the effect is larger in transgenic mice than in cultured cells.

States of thin filament regulatory proteins as revealed by combined cross-linking/X-ray diffraction techniques

The regulatory protein system in the skeletal muscle thin filaments is known to exhibit three discrete states, called "off" or "blocked" (no Ca2+), "on" or "closed" (with Ca2+ alone) and "potentiated" or "open" (with strongly bound myosin head) states. Biochemical studies have shown that only weak interactions with myosin are allowed in the second state. Characterization of each state is often difficult, because the equilibria among these states are readily shifted by experimental conditions. To overcome this problem, we chemically cross-linked the skeletal muscle thin filament in the three states with the zero-length cross-linker 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), in overstretched muscle fibers. The state of the regulatory proteins was monitored by measuring the intensity of the second actin layer-line (2nd LL) reflection in X-ray diffraction patterns. Structurally, the thin filaments cross-linked in the three states exhibited three corresponding discrete levels of 2nd LL intensities, which were not Ca2+-sensitive any more. Functionally, the thin filament cross-linked in the "off-blocked" state inhibited strong interaction with myosin head (subgfragment-1 or S1). The thin filament cross-linked in the "potentiated-open" state allowed strong interaction and full ATPase activity of S1 as described previously. The thin filament cross-linked in the "on-closed" state allowed strong interactions with S1 and actin-activated ATPase without enhancing the 2nd LL to the level of "potentiated-open" state, contrary to the expectations from the biochemical studies. The results demonstrate the potential of EDC as a tool for studying the states of calcium regulation, and the apparent uncoupling between the 2nd LL intensity and the function provides a new insight into the mechanism of thin filament regulation.     

What drives activation-dependent shifts in the force–length curve?

Skeletal muscles are rarely recruited maximally during movement. However, much of our understanding of muscle properties is based on studies using maximal activation. The effect of activation level on skeletal muscle properties remains poorly understood. Muscle optimum length increases with decreased activation; however, the mechanism responsible is unclear. Here, we attempted to determine whether length-dependent calcium effects, or the effect of absolute force underpin this shift. Fixed-end contractions were performed in frog plantaris muscles at a range of lengths using maximal tetanic (high force, high calcium), submaximal tetanic (low force, high calcium) and twitch (low force, low calcium) stimulation conditions. Peak force and optimum length were determined in each condition. Optimum length increased with decreasing peak force, irrespective of stimulation condition. Assuming calcium concentration varied as predicted, this suggests that absolute force, rather than calcium concentration, underpins the effect of activation level on optimum length. We suggest that the effect of absolute force is due to the varying effect of the internal mechanics of the muscle at different activation levels. These findings have implications for our understanding of in vivo muscle function and suggest that mechanical interactions within muscle may be important determinants of force at lower levels of activation.
