Regulation of GABA(A) and glutamate receptor expression, synaptic facilitation and long-term potentiation in the hippocampus of prion mutant mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Prionopathies are characterized by spongiform brain degeneration, myoclonia, dementia, and periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) disturbances.

Rapid-throughput skeletal phenotyping of 100 knockout mice identifies 9 new genes that determine bone strength [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Osteoporosis is a common polygenic disease and global healthcare priority but its genetic basis remains largely unknown. We report a high-throughput multi-parameter phenotype screen to identify functionally significant skeletal phenotypes in mice ...

Analysis of microRNA knockouts in mice [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2010
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that act as potent regulators of gene expression. The discovery of miRNAs with specific temporal and spatial expression patterns revealed a hidden layer of post-transcriptional gene regulation. Furthermore, differential expression of miRNAs during disease progression identified miRNAs as relevant candidate ...

Significance of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Inhibition by Imidapril for Prevention of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor–Knockout Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
To clarify the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 inhibitory effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor in vivo, we evaluated the effect of an ACE inhibitor against elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression in mice ...

Cdk2 Knockout Mice Are Viable [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2003
Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) and their cyclin regulatory subunits control cell growth and division. Cdk2/cyclin E complexes are thought to be required because they phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein and drive cells through the G1/S transition into the S phase of the cell cycle.

Murine models of renal disease: Possibilities and problems in studies using mutant mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The elucidation of the pathogenesis of human renal disease at the molecular level has been facilitated by the growing field of gene targeting and the development of mouse strains with single-gene deletions - the `knock-out' mice. Experimental nephrology,

Vasculitis, Atherosclerosis, and Altered HDL Composition in Heme-Oxygenase-1-Knockout Mice

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hypertension, 2012
To elucidate roles of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cardiovascular system, we have analyzed one-year-old HO-1-knockout mice. Homozygous HO-1-knockout mice had severe aortitis and coronary arteritis with mononuclear cellular infiltration and fatty streak ...

Production of Knockout Mice using CRISPR/Cas9 in FVB Strain

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2015
KO mice provide an excellent tool to determine roles of specific genes in biomedical filed. Traditionally, knockout mice were generated by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells.

The effect of lubricin on the gliding resistance of mouse intrasynovial tendon.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of lubricin on the gliding resistance of intrasynovial tendons by comparing lubricin knockout, heterozygous, and wild type mice.

Rab11a is required for apical protein localisation in the intestine

open access: yesBiology Open, 2014
The small GTPase Rab11 plays an important role in the recycling of proteins to the plasma membrane as well as in polarised transport in epithelial cells and neurons. We generated conditional knockout mice deficient in Rab11a.
