Production of Knockout Mice using CRISPR/Cas9 in FVB Strain

Journal 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.

Integrins in vascular development

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
Many growth factors and their protein kinase receptors play a role in regulating vascular development. In addition, cell adhesion molecules, such as integrins and their ligands in the extracellular matrix, play important roles in the adhesion, migration,

Double Deletion of Angiotensin II Type 2 and Mas Receptors Accelerates Aging‐Related Muscle Weakness in Male Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background The activation of AT2 (angiotensin II type 2 receptor ) and Mas receptor by angiotensin II and angiotensin‐(1‐7), respectively, is the primary process that counteracts activation of the canonical renin‐angiotensin system (RAS).

Theoretical estimation of metabolic network robustness against multiple reaction knockouts using branching process approximation [PDF]

Physica A 392, 5525 (2013), 2013
In our previous study, we showed that the branching process approximation is useful for estimating metabolic robustness, measured using the impact degree. By applying a theory of random family forests, we here extend the branching process approximation to consider the knockout of {\it multiple} reactions, inspired by the importance of multiple ...

The NADPH Oxidase Isoform 1 Contributes to Angiotensin II-Mediated DNA Damage in the Kidney

Antioxidants, 2020
In higher concentrations, the blood pressure regulating hormone angiotensin II leads to vasoconstriction, hypertension, and oxidative stress by activating NADPH oxidases which are a major enzymatic source of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Generation and Characterization of Rac3 Knockout Mice [PDF]

Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2005
Rac proteins are members of the Rho family of GTPases involved in the regulation of actin dynamics. The three highly homologous Rac proteins in mammals are the ubiquitous Rac1, the hematopoiesis-specific Rac2, and the least-characterized Rac3. We show here that Rac3 mRNA is widely and specifically expressed in the developing nervous system, with ...

Ovol2, a zinc finger transcription factor, is dispensable for spermatogenesis in mice

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Ovol2, a mouse homolog of Drosophila ovo, was identified as a zinc finger transcription factor predominantly expressed in testis. However, the function of Ovol2 in postnatal male germ cell development remains enigmatic. Here, we firstly examined the mRNA

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

The immunological interface: dendritic cells as key regulators in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...
