Baculovirus expression of mouse lactoferrin receptor and tissue distribution in the mouse

Lactoferrin (Lf) has been shown to have a role in the immune system and in early development of the mouse embryo. A specific receptor for Lf has been suggested to mediate the functions of Lf. We have recently identified a Lf receptor (LfR) in human fetal small intestine. We therefore hypothesized that the mouse homologue of this protein functions as a LfR. We expressed mouse Lf (MLf) and the mouse homologue (MLfR) in a baculovirus-insect cell system. The recombinant MLfR (rMLfR) was purified by immobilized recombinant MLf (rMLf) affinity chromatography, demonstrating an interaction between rMLf and the rMLfR. RT-PCR revealed that MLfR was expressed in various tissues and during embryonic development. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the MLfR was localized in various tissues including small intestinal epithelium, stomach, kidney, ovary, and various regions of brain. In summary, the MLfR functions as a receptor for MLf, is expressed and localized in various tissues, and may be involved in the indispensable function of MLf during early embryonic development.     

Analysis of WT1 gene expression during mouse nephrogenesis in organ culture

Summary The temporal and spatial expression patterns of the Wilms tumor gene, WT1, were studied during the organogenesis of the mouse kidneyin vitro. In situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry localized cellular expression of WT1 in whole kidney organ cultures to the induced metanephric mesenchyme and developing podocytes. Organ cultures were further characterized immunocytochemically with antibodies that specifically labeled the different tubular epithelial components and supporting mesenchyme of the developing nephrons. In organ cultures, the WT1 expression pattern could be visualized in induced metanephric mesenchyme and entire cell cohorts of differentiating podocytes. Expression of WT1 and cell specific markers were retained in short-term monolayer cultures of dissociated kidneys. The development of the metanephric kidneyin vitro involves a highly restricted temporal and spatial cellular expression pattern of WT1 which closely follows that observed in tissue sections from gestational kidney isolated during organogenesis in the mouse.     

A zebrafish gene trap line expresses GFP recapturing expression pattern of foxj1b

Foxj1 has been found to play an important role in cilia formation and function in vertebrates. The zebrafish or Xenopus genome expresses two Foxjl genes, foxjlalFoxJ1 and foxjlb/FoxJ1.2. In this study, we have generated a zebrafish transgenic line T2BGSZIO by Tol2 transposon-based gene trapping approach. T2BGSZ10 transgenic fish carry an insertion of the transposon genome into the first intron of thefoxj1b locus. This insertion results in GFP expression in the forebrain, otic vesicles, floorplate, pronephric ducts and other domains during embryogenesis, which recaptures the expression pattern offoxj1b. Although normal expression offoxj1b is dramatically reduced, T2BGSZ10 homozygous embryos develop normally and grow to adulthood without detectable defects, which may be due to the incomplete interruption of foxjlb expression. Nevertheless, this transgenic line may serve as a useful model for dynamic observation of GFP-labeled tissues and organs and for isolation of GFP-labeled cells.

Cloning and expression pattern of vat-1 homolog gene in zebrafish

The VAT-1 protein is present in the electric organ of marine rays where it is suggested to play a central role in nerve signal transmission. VAT-1 homolog protein was also identified in mouse and human but its function remains to be determined. We have investigated VAT-1 homolog in zebrafish Danio rerio since it is an excellent model amenable to the combination of genetic, molecular and embryological studies. Amino acid sequence analysis shows that the zebrafish VAT-1 homolog shares approximately 51-61% identity with the electric ray, mouse, and human counterparts. By in situ hybridization, vat-1 homolog mRNA is first observed in the trigeminal nuclei at the 8-somite stage. At 20-somite stage, vat-1 homolog is detected in the brain, namely in primary clusters of neurons, in the epiphysis and in the hindbrain. vat-1 homolog is also present in the neural tube but this expression disappears after 72 h post-fertilization. At 24 h post-fertilization, vat-1 homolog starts to be expressed in the developing gut. At later stages, vat-1 homolog is present throughout the brain, appears in the maturing retina and the pharyngeal cavity.
