Controlled re-activation of epigenetically silenced Tet promoter-driven transgene expression by targeted demethylation
Faithful expression of transgenes in cell cultures and mice is often challenged by locus dependent epigenetic silencing. We investigated silencing of Tet-controlled expression cassettes within the mouse ROSA26 locus. We observed pronounced DNA methylation of the Tet promoter concomitant with loss of expression in mES cells as well as in differentiated cells and transgenic animals. Strikingly, t...
متن کاملTransgene Expression Is Associated with Copy Number and Cytomegalovirus Promoter Methylation in Transgenic Pigs
Transgenic animals have been used for years to study gene function, produce important proteins, and generate models for the study of human diseases. However, inheritance and expression instability of the transgene in transgenic animals is a major limitation. Copy number and promoter methylation are known to regulate gene expression, but no report has systematically examined their effect on tran...
متن کاملE4ORF3 requirement for achieving long-term transgene expression from the cytomegalovirus promoter in adenovirus vectors.
Analysis of transgene expression under the control of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter from adenovirus vectors in which the E4 region was modified indicated that E4ORF3 is required for long-term expression in the murine lung. CMV promoter truncation led to the persistence of expression in the absence of E4, thus eliminating the ORF3 requirement.
متن کاملDistinct promoter activation mechanisms modulate noise-driven HIV gene expression
Latent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections occur when the virus occupies a transcriptionally silent but reversible state, presenting a major obstacle to cure. There is experimental evidence that random fluctuations in gene expression, when coupled to the strong positive feedback encoded by the HIV genetic circuit, act as a 'molecular switch' controlling cell fate, i.e., viral replicat...
متن کاملPromoter analysis of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha4 gene: methylation and expression of the transgene.
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit genes compose a family of genes. The major isoform of nAChR in the brain is made up of the alpha4 and beta2 subunits and possesses a high affinity for nicotine. To investigate the mechanisms of the regulation of the nAChR alpha4 gene expression in mouse, its genomic DNA was cloned and characterized. The transcription initiation site was ...
