Transchromosomic (Tc) technology using human chromosome fragments (hCFs), or human artificial chromosomes (HACs), has been used for generating mice containing Mb-sized segments of the human genome. The most significant problem with freely segregating chromosomes with human centromeres has been mosaicism, possibly due to the instability of hCFs or HACs in mice. We report a system for the stable maintenance of Mb-sized human chromosomal fragments following translocation to mouse chromosome 10 (mChr.10). The approach utilizes microcell-mediated chromosome transfer and a combination of site-specific loxP insertion, telomere-directed chromosome truncation, and precise reciprocal translocation for the generation of Tc mice. Human chromosome 21 (hChr.21) was modified with a loxP site and truncated in homologous recombination-proficient chicken DT40 cells. Following transfer to mouse embryonic stem cells harboring a loxP site at the distal region of mChr.10, a ~4 Mb segment of hChr.21 was translocated to the distal region of mChr.10 by transient expression of Cre recombinase. The residual hChr.21/mChr.10ter fragment was reduced by antibiotic negative selection. Tc mice harboring the translocated ~4 Mb fragment were generated by chimera formation and germ line transmission. The hChr.21-derived Mb fragment was maintained stably in tissues in vivo and expression profiles of genes on hChr.21 were consistent with those seen in humans. Thus, Tc technology that enables translocation of human chromosomal regions onto host mouse chromosomes will be useful for studying in vivo functions of the human genome, and generating humanized model mice. 相似文献

As a group closely related to chordates, hemichordate acorn worms are in a key phylogenic position for addressing hypotheses of chordate origins. The stomochord of acorn worms is an anterior outgrowth of the pharynx endoderm into the proboscis. In 1886 Bateson proposed homology of this organ to the chordate notochord, crowning this animal group “hemichordates.” Although this proposal has been debated for over a century, the question still remains unresolved. Here we review recent progress related to this question. First, the developmental mode of the stomochord completely differs from that of the notochord. Second, comparison of expression profiles of genes including Brachyury, a key regulator of notochord formation in chordates, does not support the stomochord/notochord homology. Third, FoxE that is expressed in the stomochord‐forming region in acorn worm juveniles is expressed in the club‐shaped gland and in the endostyle of amphioxus, in the endostyle of ascidians, and in the thyroid gland of vertebrates. Based on these findings, together with the anterior endodermal location of the stomochord, we propose that the stomochord has evolutionary relatedness to chordate organs deriving from the anterior pharynx rather than to the notochord. genesis 52:925–934, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

To assess the contribution of singlet molecular oxygen [O2 (1Δg)] to lipid peroxidation in vivo, this study combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with thin layer chromatography to analyse peroxidized lipids in the skin of hairless mice. Hydroxyoctadecenoate isomers and unconjugated hydroxyoctadecadienoate isomers derived from peroxidized oleic acid and linoleic acid, respectively, which are specific to O2 (1Δg)-dependent oxygenation, were detected in the skin of live mice under ordinary feeding conditions. Short-term ultraviolet A (UVA)-irradiation of the skin in vivo elevated levels of the unconjugated hydroxyoctadecadienoate isomers significantly, whereas the irradiation of skin homogenate in vitro increased levels of all isomers derived from both O2 (1Δg) and free radical-dependent oxygenation to a much greater extent. This is the first report to demonstrate the occurrence of O2 (1Δg)-specific oxygenation of unsaturated fatty acids in living animals. 相似文献

Nicotianamine (NA), a metal chelator ubiquitous in higher plants, serves as an antihypertensive substance in humans. To engineer a novel antihypertensive rice that contains larger amounts of NA, the barley NA synthase gene, HvNAS1 , was introduced into rice via Agrobacterium -mediated transformation. The introduced HvNAS1 was driven by pGluB-1 , which induces strong gene expression in the endosperm of rice seeds. The NA content in transgenic rice seeds was up to fourfold greater than that in non-transgenic rice seeds. The Cre/ loxP DNA excision (CLX) system was used to remove the selectable marker gene for antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, the transgenic rice was crossed with a cleistogamous mutant to prevent gene transfer via pollen dispersal. These two modifications may minimize public concern with regard to the use of this transgenic rice. 相似文献

After invasion into intercellular spaces of tomato plants, the soil‐borne, plant‐pathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum strain OE1‐1 forms mushroom‐shaped biofilms (mushroom‐type biofilms, mBFs) on tomato cells, leading to its virulence. The strain OE1‐1 produces aryl‐furanone secondary metabolites, ralfuranones (A, B, J, K and L), dependent on the quorum sensing (QS) system, with methyl 3‐hydroxymyristate (3‐OH MAME) synthesized by PhcB as a QS signal. Ralfuranones are associated with the feedback loop of the QS system. A ralfuranone productivity‐deficient mutant (ΔralA) exhibited significantly reduced growth in intercellular spaces compared with strain OE1‐1, losing its virulence. To analyse the function of ralfuranones in mBF formation by OE1‐1 cells, we observed cell aggregates of R. solanacearum strains statically incubated in tomato apoplast fluids on filters under a scanning electron microscope. The ΔralA strain formed significantly fewer microcolonies and mBFs than strain OE1‐1. Supplementation of ralfuranones A, B, J and K, but not L, significantly enhanced the development of mBF formation by ΔralA. Furthermore, a phcB‐ and ralA‐deleted mutant (ΔphcB/ralA) exhibited less formation of mBFs than OE1‐1, although a QS‐deficient, phcB‐deleted mutant formed mBFs similar to OE1‐1. Supplementation with 3‐OH MAME significantly reduced the formation of mBFs by ΔphcB/ralA. The application of each ralfuranone significantly increased the formation of mBFs by ΔphcB/ralA supplied with 3‐OH MAME. Together, our findings indicate that ralfuranones are implicated not only in the development of mBFs by strain OE1‐1, but also in the suppression of QS‐mediated negative regulation of mBF formation. 相似文献

Cell-cell interaction via the gap junction regulates cell growth and differentiation, leading to formation of organs of appropriate size and quality. To determine the role of connexin43 in salivary gland development, we analyzed its expression in developing submandibular glands (SMGs). Connexin43 (Cx43) was found to be expressed in salivary gland epithelium. In ex vivo organ cultures of SMGs, addition of the gap junctional inhibitors 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid (18α-GA) and oleamide inhibited SMG branching morphogenesis, suggesting that gap junctional communication contributes to salivary gland development. In Cx43−/− salivary glands, submandibular and sublingual gland size was reduced as compared with those from heterozygotes. The expression of Pdgfa, Pdgfb, Fgf7, and Fgf10, which induced branching of SMGs in Cx43−/− samples, were not changed as compared with those from heterozygotes. Furthermore, the blocking peptide for the hemichannel and gap junction channel showed inhibition of terminal bud branching. FGF10 induced branching morphogenesis, while it did not rescue the Cx43−/− phenotype, thus Cx43 may regulate FGF10 signaling during salivary gland development. FGF10 is expressed in salivary gland mesenchyme and regulates epithelial proliferation, and was shown to induce ERK1/2 phosphorylation in salivary epithelial cells, while ERK1/2 phosphorylation in HSY cells was dramatically inhibited by 18α-GA, a Cx43 peptide or siRNA. On the other hand, PDGF-AA and PDGF-BB separately induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in primary cultured salivary mesenchymal cells regardless of the presence of 18α-GA. Together, our results suggest that Cx43 regulates FGF10-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation in salivary epithelium but not in mesenchyme during the process of SMG branching morphogenesis. 相似文献
