Inducible site‐specific recombination in myelinating cells

Doerflinger, Nathalie H., Macklin, Wendy B., Popko, Brian·2003·genesis

Abstract

Summary: To explore the function of genes expressed by myelinating cells we have developed a model system that allows for the inducible ablation of predetermined genes in oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells. The Cre/loxP recombination system provides the opportunity to generate tissue‐specific somatic mutations in mice. We have used a fusion protein between the Cre recombinase and a mutated ligand‐binding domain of the human estrogen receptor (CreER T) to obtain inducible, site‐specific recombination. CreER T expression was placed under the transcriptional control of the regulatory sequences of the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) gene, which is abundantly expressed in oligodendrocytes and to a lesser extent in Schwann cells. The CreER T fusion protein translocated to the nucleus and mediated the recombination of a LacZ reporter transgene in myelinating cells of PLP/CreER T mice injected with the synthetic steroid tamoxifen. In untreated animals CreER T remained cytoplasmic, and there was no evidence of recombination. The PLP/ CreER T animals should be very useful in elucidating and distinguishing a particular gene's function in the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath and in analyzing mature oligodendrocyte function in pathological conditions. genesis 35:63–72, 2003. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
