Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Jie Shen, Harvard Med Sch/Brigham Women's Hosp Description
Homozygous mice are viable and fertile. Western blot analysis using antibody specific to C-terminal sequences indicates the absence of full length gene product. Homozygous mice exhibit hypokinesia and nigrostriatal dopaminergic deficits: evoked dopamine overflow in the striatum is reduced (primarily as a result of increased dopamine uptake), nigral neurons (dopaminergic neurons) have abnormal action potential characteristics, and long term depression is absent in medium spiny neurons. Also, D2-receptor mRNA abundance and radioligand binding is normal. Dopaminergic neurons from substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) of homozygous mice exhibit significantly higher sensitivity to energy metabolism impairment and nigral dopaminergic neurons are particularly sensitive to Na+/K+ ATPase impairment. These mutant mice may be useful in studies of Parkinson's disease, dopaminergic physiology, nigrostriatal function, locomotor inactivity, and other neurobiological research.In an attempt to offer alleles on well-characterized or multiple genetic backgrounds, alleles are frequently moved to a genetic background different from that on which an allele was first characterized. Mice with this mutation were originally published on a mixed B6;129 genetic background. It should be noted that the phenotype could vary from that originally described. The strain description will be modified as published results become available.
Development
A targeting vector was designed to replace exon 2 of the endogenous gene with a PGK-neomycin cassette. The construct was electroporated into the "B6/129 F1"-derived MKV6.5 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into blastocysts. The resulting mutant mice were backcrossed to C57BL/6 inbred mice for at least 12 generations before arriving at The Jackson Laboratory.
