Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator David J Anderson, California Institute of Technology, HHMI Description
Mice homozygous for this targeted mutation show growth retardation and enlargement of the heart at embryonic day 10 (E10), with 100% lethality occurring around E11. Reporter protein expression patterns are consistent with arterial, but not venous, expression of the endogenous gene; prominent lacZ signal is observed in hindbrain and somites, with lower levels in aorta and heart as early as E8.25. Expression in the yolk sac was first detected at E8.5, and is also observed in nephrogenic mesoderm and branchial arches. Homozygous embryos show defective angiogenic remodeling at the capillary plexus stage in both yolk sac and head. Endothelial vessel support cell differentiation of the yolk sac is also defective. Homozygotes lack myocardial trabecular extensions, and capillary ingrowth into the neural tube does not occur. Heterozygous mice are viable, fertile, exhibit no behavioral defects, and have identical lacZ expression patterns. These mutant mice may be useful in studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, the topography of neovascularization, and adult neovascularization, including tumor angiogenesis.The developmental abnormalities in homozygous mice closely resemble those observed for mutant mice bearing a lacZ-expressing null mutation of the ephrin B2 receptor (see Stock No. 006044 Ephb4tm1And).
Development
A targeting vector was designed with a tau-lacZ coding sequence immediately followed by a PGKneo gene. This sequence was inserted in-frame after the translational start ATG and replaced the latter portion of exon 1 of the endogenous gene. The construct was microinjected into 129S7/SvEvBrd-derived AB1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts and the resulting chimeric males were bred to C57BL/6 females. Heterozygous mice were bred to C57BL/6 for at least 3 generations before arriving at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, heterozygotes were bred with C57BL/6J for more than two generations.
