Mating System Homozygote x Homozygote (Female x Male) 08-NOV-07 Species laboratory mouse Generation N10+N1F14 (03-FEB-11)
Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Tony Wyss-Coray, Stanford University Description
Mice hemizygous for the transgenic insert are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. These transgenic mice express luciferase in response to activation of the Smad2/3-dependent signaling pathway. Cultured primary astrocytes isolated from transgenic mice exhibited luciferase activity when stimulated with TGF-beta. Higher treatment levels of activin and nodal elicited similar luciferase activity. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge results in strong bioluminescence emissions from the intestinal region and brain. Mechanical injury to the neocortex results in an increase of bioluminescence in 2 hours, which peaks at 4 hours and returns to baseline approximately 48 hours after the injury. Biochemical assays for luciferase activity correlated with noninvasive bioluminescence imaging analysis. The strain was backcrossed to the albino C57BL/6J-Tyrc-2J/J strain for 2 generations to facilitate bioluminescence imaging. This mutant mouse strain may be useful in studies of the role of transforming growth factor beta in intracellular signaling with noninvasive in vivo imaging.Development
A transgenic construct containing the firefly luciferase gene under the control of 12 Smad-binding element repeats, herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase minimal promoter and an SV40 polyadenylation signal was injected into fertilized B6SJLF1 eggs. The donating investigator reported that founder line 7 (T9-7B) animals were backcrossed onto C57BL/6J for 8 generations and then backcrossed onto C57BL/6J-Tyrc-2J/J for 2 generations.A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. While the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 1 of 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the mice sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository were on a mixed C57BL/6J ; C57BL/6N genetic background.
