Mouse Robo3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Robo3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Robo3 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Robo3 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001164767 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000032128 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 9. 28 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 28 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000115038). Exon 8~11 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Robo3 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-439O11 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Homozygous mutants display perinatal lethality, abnormal commissural axon growth, and fragile floor plates. Exon 8 starts from about 27.56% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 8~11 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 7 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 1647 bp, and the size of intron 11 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 541 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~1989 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

Significant high GC-content regions are found. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector.

    Human Robo3 blocking peptide (CDBP2568) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Product Overview Blocking/Immunizing peptide for anti-ROBO3/RIG1 (internal) antibody Antigen Description This gene is a member of the Roundabout (ROBO) gene family that controls neurite outgrowth, growth cone guidance, and axon fasciculation. ROBO proteins are a subfamily of the immunoglobulin transmembrane receptor superfamily. SLIT proteins 1-3, a family of secreted chemorepellants, are ligands for ROBO proteins and SLIT/ROBO interactions regulate myogenesis, leukocyte migration, kidney morphogenesis, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis in addition to neurogenesis. This gene, ROBO3, has a putative extracellular domain with five immunoglobulin (Ig)-like loops and three fibronectin (Fn) type III motifs, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic tail with three conserved signaling motifs: CC0, CC2, and CC3 (CC for conserved cytoplasmic). Unlike other ROBO family members, ROBO3 lacks motif CC1. The ROBO3 gene regulates axonal navigation at the ventral midline of the neural tube. In mouse, loss of Robo3 results in a complete failure of commissural axons to cross the midline throughout the spinal cord and the hindbrain. Mutations ROBO3 result in horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS); an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital absence of horizontal gaze, progressive scoliosis, and failure of the corticospinal and somatosensory axon tracts to cross the midline in the medulla.

This capacity has largely been ascribed to paracrine factors secreted by nerve-resident Schwann cells. Here, we used single-cell transcriptional profiling to identify ligands made by different injured rodent nerve cell types and have combined this with cell-surface mass spectrometry to computationally model potential paracrine interactions with peripheral neurons. These analyses show that peripheral nerves make many ligands predicted to act on peripheral and CNS neurons, in- cluding known and previously uncharacterized ligands. While Schwann cells are an important ligand source within injured nerves, more than half of the predicted ligands are made by nerve-resident mesenchymal cells, including the endoneurial cells most closely associated with peripheral axons. At least three of these mesen- chymal ligands, ANGPT1, CCL11, and VEGFC, promote growth when locally applied on sympathetic axons.

The etiology of this disease is still poorly understood. Several 4 GWAS studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located near the gene 5 LBX1 that is significantly correlated with AIS risk. LBX1 is a transcription factor with roles in 6 myocyte precursor migration, cardiac neural crest specification, and neuronal fate 7 determination in the neural tube. Here, we further investigated the role of LBX1 in the 8 developing spinal cord of mouse embryos using a CRISPR-generated mouse model expressing 9 a truncated version of LBX1 (Lbx1Δ).

  • Reconstruction of Circrna-Mirna-Mrna Associated
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Reconstruction of circRNA‑miRNA‑mRNA associated ceRNA networks reveal functional circRNAs in intracerebral hemorrhage Zhen Liu, Xinran Wu, Zihan Yu & Xiaobo Tang* Circular RNA (circRNA), a novel class of noncoding RNAs, has been used extensively to complement transcriptome remodeling in the central nervous system, although the genomic coverage provided has rarely been studied in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is limited and fails to provide a detailed picture of the cerebral transcriptome landscape. Here, we described sequencing‑based transcriptome profling, providing comprehensive analysis of cerebral circRNA, messenger RNA (mRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) expression in ICH rats. In the study, male Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to ICH, and next‑generation sequencing of RNAs isolated from non‑hemorrhagic (Sham) and hemorrhagic (ICH) rat brain samples collected 7 (early phase) and 28 (chronic phase) days after insults, was conducted. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to determine miRNA binding sites and gene ontology of circRNAs, target genes of miRNAs, as well as biological functions of mRNAs, altered after ICH. These analyses revealed diferent expression profles of circRNAs, mRNAs and miRNAs in day‑7 and day‑28 ICH groups, respectively, compared with the Sham. In addition, the expression signature of circRNAs was more sensitive to disease progression than that of mRNAs or miRNAs. Further analysis suggested two temporally specifc circRNA‑miRNA‑mRNA networks based on the competitive endogenous RNA theory, which had profound impacts on brain activities after ICH. In summary, these results suggested an important role for circRNAs in the pathogenesis of ICH and in reverse remodeling based on self‑protection support, providing deep insights into diverse possibilities for ICH therapy through targeting circRNAs.

Importantly, when this process is not successful during the development of an organism, outcomes include catastrophes such as human neurological diseases and disorders.
