    Abstract:

    Objective:The transport and Golgi organization protein 2 homolog(TANGO2)knockout mice were generated to elucidate its physiological function in mammals,and to explore whether TANGO2 is a candidate gene responsible for DiGeorge syndrome. Methods:The TANGO2 knockout mouse model was generated,and the knockout efficiency of the mouse model was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The phenotype,growth and breeding of wild-type,TANGO2 +/- and TANGO2 -/- mice were observed and recorded. The morphological structures of heart and brain tissues in wild-type and knockout mice were observed through anatomic and histological analysis. Results:The TANGO2 mRNA was expressed in the heart and brain of wild-type mice,but its expression level was substantially reduced in the knockout mice. TANGO2 knockout mice could develop,survive and reproduce,and did not exhibit obvious phenotypic abnormalities. Histological analyses of the heart and brain showed no significant differences between knockout mice and wild-type mice at birth and 6-month-old. Conclusion:TANGO2 knockout mice grow and reproduce normally,and lack the phenotype associated with TANGO2-related disorders or DiGeorge syndrome in humans.
