Abstract

The in ovo electroporation in chicken embryos has widely been used as a powerful tool to study roles of genes during embryogenesis. However, the conventional electroporation technique fails to retain the expression of transgenes for more than several days because transgenes are not integrated into the genome. To overcome this shortcoming, we have developed a transposon-mediated gene transfer, a novel technique in chicken manipulations. It was previously reported that the transposon Tol2, originally found in medaka fish, facilitates an integration of a transgene into the genome when co-acting with Tol2 transposase. In this study, we co-electroporated a plasmid containing a CAGGS-EGFP cassette cloned in the Tol2 construct along with a transposase-encoding plasmid into early presomitic mesoderm or optic vesicles of chicken embryos. This resulted in persistent expression of EGFP at least until embryonic day 8 (E8) and E12 in somite-derived tissues and developing retina, respectively. The integration of the transgene was confirmed by genomic Southern blotting using chicken cultured cells. We further combined this transposon-mediated gene transfer with the tetracycline-dependent conditional expression system that we also developed recently. With this combined method, expression of a stably integrated transgene could be experimentally induced upon tetracycline administration at relatively late stages such as E6, where a variety of organogenesis are underway. Thus, the techniques proposed in this study provide a novel approach to study the mechanisms of late organogenesis, for which chickens are most suitable model animals.

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.
