GFAP promoter directs astrocyte-specific expression in transgenic mice
Open accessAbstract
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate-filament protein expressed abundantly and almost exclusively in astrocytes of the CNS. We are studying transcriptional regulation of the GFAP gene to gain insight into astrocyte function and also to develop an astrocyte- specific expression system for manipulating brain physiology. In this work, we have produced transgenic mice carrying the bacterial lacZ reporter gene linked to a 2.2 kilobase 5′-flanking sequence derived from the human GFAP gene that previously was shown to direct astrocyte- specific transcription in cultured cells. We report that this promoter directs expression to astrocytes in the CNS. In addition, the upregulation of GFAP gene activity that follows injury to the brain was mimicked by the transgene. One of the transgenes was found to be X- linked and appeared to undergo the usual random inactivation that achieves gene dosage compensation in females. The brains of hemizygous females stained uniformly rather than displaying mosaic patches, indicating that astrocytes intermingle following their formation. The specific expression of the GFAP-lacZ transgene means that it is now possible to target expression of other heterologous genes to astrocytes in vivo, and to study the mechanisms for reactive gliosis at the DNA level.

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.
