GFP expression in the mammary gland for imaging of mammary tumor cells in transgenic mice.
To examine the behavior of tumor cells in tumors developing directly from mammary tissue in transgenic models, we have evaluated transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP). Using the mouse mammary virus promoter (MMTV) to directly drive expression of GFP, we find low levels of fluorescence in the mammary and salivary glands of transgenic animals. Using MMTV-Cre or WAP-Cre in com...
متن کاملMammary Gland-Specific Expression of Biologically Active Human Osteoprotegerin in Transgenic Mice
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted glycoprotein that regulates bone resorption by inhibiting differentiation and activation of osteoclast, thereby potentially useful for the treatment of many bone diseases associated with increased bone loss. In this study, we designed a novel cDNA expression cassette by modifying the potent and mammary gland-specific goat β-casein/hGH hybrid gene construct an...
متن کاملImpaired mammary gland and lymphoid development caused by inducible expression of Axin in transgenic mice
Axin is a component of the canonical Wnt pathway that negatively regulates signal transduction by promoting degradation of beta-catenin. To study the role of Axin in development, we developed strains of transgenic mice in which its expression can be manipulated by the administration of doxycycline (Dox). Animals carrying both mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-reverse tetracycline transactivator ...
متن کاملMammary Gland in Mice
Microvascular changes in the mammary gland in mice during pregnancy and lactation were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with a corrosion cast method, tvansmission e]eetron microscopy (TEM) and morphometry. By SEM, duct-associated capillary plexuses were sparsety distributed to branch into adipocytes during virgin period. With advance in pregnancy, both branches from the capMar...
متن کاملInduction of mammary gland hyperplasia and carcinomas in transgenic mice expressing human cyclin E.
Deregulated expression of several cell cycle regulatory genes has been demonstrated to be associated with cancer. In particular, a strong correlation has been established between inappropriate cyclin E expression and human breast cancer. To determine the ability of cyclin E to play a causative role in mammary tumorigenesis, regulatory sequences from the ovine beta-lactoglobulin gene were utiliz...
