摘要:
目的:构建条件性胰岛β细胞钙/钙调蛋白依赖性丝氨酸蛋白激酶(calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase,CASK)基因敲除小鼠,为研究CASK基因在糖尿病发生中的机制提供动物模型。方法:将CASKloxp/- 雌鼠与CASKloxp/Y雄鼠杂交,获得基因型为CASKloxp/loxp雌鼠、CASKloxp/Y雄鼠;再让条件性胰岛β细胞特异性表达Cre重组酶雄鼠与CASKloxp/loxp雌鼠杂交获得CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre雄鼠和CASKloxP/-MIP-Cre雌鼠。CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre基因型小鼠即为本实验所需要构建的模型小鼠。小鼠生后1~2周剪尾,通过PCR鉴定小鼠基因型,4~5周龄时腹腔注射他莫昔芬诱导Cre重组酶表达后,利用实时荧光定量PCR、蛋白质印迹技术验证CASK基因敲除效果。结果:从引进这两种小鼠开始,繁殖10个月,共获得基因型为CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre的雄鼠28只,PCR 结果证实小鼠基因型符合CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre。实时荧光定量PCR、蛋白质印迹结果显示CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre小鼠胰岛CASK表达量明显下降。结论:利用 Cre/loxp系统,成功构建了条件性胰岛β细胞CASK基因敲除小鼠,为在动物水平研究CASK基因在糖尿病发病机制中的作用提供了研究平台。
Abstract:
Objective:This study aims to explore the function of CASK gene on the regulation of diabetes mellitus in successfully constructed and identified mice model by conditionally CASK knockout in islet β-cells. Methods:CASKloxp/- female mice and CASKloxp/Y male mice were crossed to obtain CASKloxp/loxp female mice and CASKloxp/Y male mice,and then the male mice with conditioned islet beta cells expressing Cre recombinase and CASKloxp/loxp female mice were crossed to obtain CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre male mice and CASKloxP/-MIP-Cre female mice. Mice with CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre genotype are the model mice needed for this experiment. Mice were tailed 1-2 weeks after birth,and their genotypes were identified by PCR. The expression of Cre recombinase was induced by intraperitoneal injection of tamoxifen at 4-5 weeks. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to verify the knockout effect of CASK gene. Results:Twenty-eight male mice with CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre genotype were obtained after 10-month cross- breeding. Genotype validated by PCR analysis were CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre. The expression of CASK in islets decreased significantly in CASKloxP/YMIP-Cre mice detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot. Conclusion:By using Cre-loxp recombination system,the mice model with conditionally CASK deleted in islets was successfully constructed,which provided a research platform for studying the role of CASK gene in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus.
