Generation DefinitionsDonating Investigator Elizabeth Simpson, University of British Columbia Description
These Ple160-lacZ;mEMS4135 mice have the Ple160-lacZ transgene targeted as a single copy "knockin" into the upstream region of hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (Hprt) locus on the X chromosome. Heterozygous females and hemizygous males are viable and fertile, with the promoter/regulatory regions of the human paired-like homeodomain 3 (PITX3) gene directing expression of β-galactosidase (lacZ). These Ple160-lacZ;mEMS4135 mice may be useful in studying PITX3-expressing cells in the brain and diseases affecting the brain.For Ple160-lacZ;mEMS4135 expression information, see The Pleiades Promoter Project website (Ple160 Promoter (pEMS1631)).
The lacZ expression pattern is described by the donating investigator as:
Positive cells are enriched in the anterior thalamus, with further expression observed in the ventral-lateral hippocampus, and the VTA region. The latter (VTA region) location reflects the expression of the endogenous Pitx3 gene. Of note, Ple160-EGFP/cre mice have expression of EGFP directed by the same minipromoter. The Ple160-EGFP/cre mice were described as: "MiniPromoter Ple160 was assayed for LacZ and EGFP from pEMS1302 backbone. No xGal reaction was detected in numerous brain regions and retina. No EGFP expression was detected above background in native fluorescence under epi or confocal microscopy. Anti GFP immunostaining (rabbit polyclonal, Invitrogen) did not detect specific GFP expression above background across numerous brain regions and retina (brightfield)."These mice were created and deposited by The Pleiades Promoter Project (Centre for Molecular Medicine and Therapeutics, University of British Columbia).
Development
The Ple160-lacZ transgene (pEMS1631) was designed with the 2538 bp Ple160 minipromoter (PITX3-B; derived from a subsection of the promoter from the human paired-like homeodomain 3 (PITX3) gene) upstream of a frt-flanked β-galactosidase (lacZ) gene, an SV40 early polyA signal, and a human HPRT complementary sequence (containing exon1, intron1, exon2, and part of intron2). This construct was targeted as a single copy knockin to the Hprtb-m3 mutant locus on the X chromosome via electroporation into mEMS1202 embryonic stem cells (generated from F1 generation male pups [heterozygous for the Hprtb-m3 allele and wildtype at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus] born from C57BL/6-congenic females homozygous for a Hprtb-m3 mutation [originally derived from 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14TG2a embryonic stem cells] and 129S-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1Sor heterozygous males [see Stock No. 002171 and 003310, respectively]). Correctly targeted embryonic stem cells were microinjected into recipient mice cells. The resulting chimeric males (founder line mEMS4135) were bred to B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J/J females (B6-albino; Stock No. 000058) to establish the mutant colony. The donating investigator reports that these Ple160-lacZ;mEMS4135 mutant mice were bred with C57BL/6J wildtype mice for at least thee generations prior to sending to The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, Ple160-lacZ;mEMS4135 mutant males were used to cryopreserve sperm. When rederiving a live colony, sperm will be used along with oocytes from C57BL/6J inbred mice (Stock No. 000664) to generate obligate heterozygous females, and these females will be bred at least one generation to C57BL/6J inbred mice to establish the colony. The rederived mice may still be segregating for the Tyrc-2J mutation.For more information, see The Pleiades Promoter Project website (Ple160 Promoter (pEMS1631)).

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise
The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.Ordering Information
