Recessive, gain-of-function toxicity in an APOL1 BAC transgenic mouse model mirrors human APOL1 kidney disease

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2021
People of recent sub-Saharan African ancestry develop kidney failure much more frequently than other groups. A large fraction of this disparity is due to two coding sequence variants in the APOL1 gene.

Identification of the transgene insertion site for an adipocyte-specific adiponectin-cre model and characterization of the functional consequences

open access: yesAdipocyte, 2021
The Adipoq-Cre transgenic mouse is widely used in the development of adipocyte-specific genetic manipulations for the study of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

A hepatitis B virus transgenic mouse model with a conditional, recombinant, episomal genome

open access: yesJHEP Reports, 2021
Background & Aims: Development of new and more effective therapies against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is limited by the lack of suitable small animal models.

GPR124 Functions as a WNT7-Specific Coactivator of Canonical β-Catenin Signaling

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
G protein-coupled receptor 124 (GPR124) is an orphan receptor in the adhesion family of GPCRs, and previous global or endothelial-specific disruption of Gpr124 in mice led to defective CNS angiogenesis and blood-brain barriergenesis.

A bioluminescence reporter mouse that monitors expression of constitutively active β-catenin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
This short technical report describes the generation and characterization of a bioluminescence reporter mouse that is engineered to detect and longitudinally monitor the expression of doxycycline-induced constitutively active β-catenin. The new responder

Human Zona Pellucida Glycoproteins: Binding Characteristics With Human Spermatozoa and Induction of Acrosome Reaction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Human zona pellucida (ZP) matrix is composed of four glycoproteins designated as ZP glycoprotein -1 (ZP1), -2 (ZP2), -3 (ZP3), and -4 (ZP4). Mutations in the genes encoding human ZP glycoproteins are one of the causative factors leading to abnormal ZP ...

Transgenic mouse models for ADHD [PDF]

open access: yesCell and Tissue Research, 2013
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity that adversely affect many aspects of life. Whereas the etiology of ADHD remains unknown, growing evidence indicates a genetic involvement in the development of this disorder.

Mice expressing RHAG and RHD human blood group genes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Anti-RhD prophylaxis of haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is highly effective, but as the suppressive mechanism remains uncertain, a mouse model would be of interest.

Mouse Models for Application in Colorectal Cancer: Understanding the Pathogenesis and Relevance to the Human Condition

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant disease that is the second most common cancer worldwide. CRC arises from the complex interactions among a variety of genetic and environmental factors. To understand the mechanism of colon tumorigenesis, preclinical

A neuroglobin-overexpressing transgenic mouse [PDF]

open access: yesGene, 2007
Neuroglobin (Ngb) is a recently discovered vertebrate globin expressed primarily in neurons. Ngb expression is induced by hypoxia and ischemia, and Ngb protects neurons from these insults. However, its normal physiological role and the mechanism underlying its neuroprotective action are uncertain. We report production of a transgenic mouse in which Ngb
