Manipulation of mitochondrial DNA gene expression in the mouse 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Mitochondrial dysfunction due to impaired respiratory chain function is increasingly recognized as an important cause of human disease. Mitochondrial disorders are relatively common and have an estimated incidence of 1:10,000 live births. There are more than 100 different point mutations and numerous large rearrangements of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA; mainly single deletions) that cause human disease. We aimed at obtaining an animal model to study physiological aspects of mtDNA mutation disorders. There are as yet unsolved technical problems associated with transfection of mammalian mitochondria. We therefore choose to manipulate mtDNA expression by targeting of the nuclear gene encoding Tfam. We utilised the cre-loxP recombination system to disrupt Tfam since this system allows manipulation of respiratory chain function in selected mouse tissues. We have found increased cell death or apoptosis induction in both germ line and tissue-specific Tfam knockouts. Our results further suggest that increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is not a prominent feature in cells with impaired mtDNA expression. 相似文献

The expression of a regulatory subunit of calcineurin (CaN beta) during rat spermatogenesis was examined in rat testes using a monoclonal antibody Va1. Results showed that a testis-specific isoform of CaN beta was expressed only 3 weeks after birth, when meiosis begins, and increased in amount depending on the maturation of spermatogenesis. The matured sperm, which consists of only post-meiotic cells, is most likely to have only the testis-specific isoform of CaN beta. The brain type isoform of CaN beta was not detected in rat sperm. Immunoblot analysis of testes from different rodent species by a monoclonal antibody Va1 showed that all rodent species examined had their own homologues corresponding to a testis-specific isoform of CaN beta in rats, although they showed distinctively different molecular weights on SDS-PAGE compared to the testis-specific isoform in rats. Each homologue was shown to be specifically expressed in post-meiotic phase of spermatogenesis, as was seen in rats. 相似文献

The genes encoding three different mammalian testis-specific nuclear chromatin proteins, mouse transition protein 1, mouse protamine 1, and mouse protamine 2, all of which are expressed postmeiotically, are marked by methylation early during spermatogenesis in the mouse. Analysis of DNA from the testes of prepubertal mice and isolated testicular cells revealed that transition protein 1 became progressively less methylated during spermatogenesis, while the two protamines became progressively more methylated; in contrast, the methylation of beta-actin, a gene expressed throughout spermatogenesis, did not change. These findings provide evidence that both de novo methylation and demethylation events are occurring after the completion of DNA replication, during meiotic prophase in the mouse testis. 相似文献
