Mouse Tmprss3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Tmprss3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Tmprss3 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Tmprss3 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001163776.1 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000024034 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 17. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 13 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000114549). Exon 3~5 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Tmprss3 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP24-374L6 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: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit early onset deafness and disrupted vestibular function associated with hair cell degeneration. Exon 3 starts from about 11.3% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 3~5 will result in frameshift of the gene. The size of intron 2 for 5'-loxP site insertion: 2592 bp, and the size of intron 5 for 3'-loxP site insertion: 2327 bp. The size of effective cKO region: ~2055 bp. The cKO region does not have any other known gene.

Tandem repeats are found in the dot plot matrix. It may be difficult to construct this targeting vector. Overview of the GC Content Distribution Window size: 300 bp Sequence 12 Summary: Full Length(8555bp) | A(23.05% 1972) | C(23.4% 2002) | T(26.71% 2285) | G(26.84% 2296) Note: The sequence of homologous arms and cKO region is analyzed to determine the GC content. No significant high GC-content region is found. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.

  • Identification of Genes Concordantly Expressed with Atoh1 During Inner Ear Development
    Original Article doi: 10.5115/acb.2011.44.1.69 pISSN 2093-3665 eISSN 2093-3673 Identification of genes concordantly expressed with Atoh1 during inner ear development Heejei Yoon, Dong Jin Lee, Myoung Hee Kim, Jinwoong Bok Department of Anatomy, Brain Korea 21 Project for Medical Science, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea Abstract: The inner ear is composed of a cochlear duct and five vestibular organs in which mechanosensory hair cells play critical roles in receiving and relaying sound and balance signals to the brain. To identify novel genes associated with hair cell differentiation or function, we analyzed an archived gene expression dataset from embryonic mouse inner ear tissues. Since atonal homolog 1a (Atoh1) is a well known factor required for hair cell differentiation, we searched for genes expressed in a similar pattern with Atoh1 during inner ear development. The list from our analysis includes many genes previously reported to be involved in hair cell differentiation such as Myo6, Tecta, Myo7a, Cdh23, Atp6v1b1, and Gfi1. In addition, we identified many other genes that have not been associated with hair cell differentiation, including Tekt2, Spag6, Smpx, Lmod1, Myh7b, Kif9, Ttyh1, Scn11a and Cnga2. We examined expression patterns of some of the newly identified genes using real-time polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization. For example, Smpx and Tekt2, which are regulators for cytoskeletal dynamics, were shown specifically expressed in the hair cells, suggesting a possible role in hair cell differentiation or function. Here, by re- analyzing archived genetic profiling data, we identified a list of novel genes possibly involved in hair cell differentiation.

Abstract: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can exert multiple deleterious effects and have been implicated in carcinogenesis. The xenoestrogen Bisphenol A (BPA) that is found in various consumer products has been involved in the dysregulation of numerous signalling pathways. In this paper, we present the analysis of a set of 94 genes that have been shown to be dysregulated in presence of BPA in ovarian cancer cell lines since we hypothesised that these genes might be of biomarker potential. This study sought to identify biomarkers of disease and biomarkers of disease- associated exposure. In silico analyses took place using gene expression data extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. Differential expression was further validated at protein level using immunohistochemistry on an ovarian cancer tissue microarray. We found that 14 out of 94 genes are solely dysregulated in the presence of BPA, while the remaining 80 genes are already dysregulated (p-value < 0.05) in their expression pattern Citation: Zahra, A.; Dong, Q.; Hall, as a consequence of the disease.

ABSTRACT 2. INTRODUCTION Recently, we and others have shown that The human genome contains over 560 protease mutations in TMPRSS3 were responsible for autosomal genes which account for about 2% of the human genes. recessive non-syndromic hearing loss. TMPRSS3 is a Proteases are essential for synthesis of all proteins, member of the Type II Transmembrane Serine Protease controlling protein composition, size, shape, turnover and (TTSP) family and encodes for a protease that also contains degradation. Proteases are important in conception and LDLRA (low-density lipoprotein receptor class A) and birth, life, ageing, and death of all organisms. Most tissues SRCR (scavenger receptor cysteine rich) domains. use proteases in a sophisticated network of endogenous Fourteen pathogenic mutations, which occur not only in the regulators of basic cellular functions.

Whitsett, M.D. Advisor: Timothy M. Crombleholme, M.D. Timothy P. Cripe, M.D. Ph.D. Dan Wiginton, Ph.D. Rhonda D. Cardin, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Since 1999, cancer has surpassed heart disease as the number one cause of death in the US for people under the age of 85. Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST), a common malignancy in patients with Neurofibromatosis, and colorectal cancer are midkine- producing tumors with high mortality rates. In vitro and preclinical xenograft models of MPNST were utilized in this dissertation to study the role of midkine (MDK), a tumor-specific gene over- expressed in these tumors and to test the efficacy of a MDK-transcriptionally targeted oncolytic HSV-1 (oHSV).

Proteins and DNA were crosslinked for 30 minutes at room The presence or absence of a protein (or histone modification) at a temperature using 1% formaldehyde, quenched with 0.125 M glycine, specific genomic location is typically determined using chromatin and washed at 4˚C. Chromatin was sheared into fragments (~500bp– immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Protein-DNA complexes are crosslinked 1kb) using the Bioruptor (Diagenode). ChIP was performed using a using formaldehyde, and chromatin is isolated and sheared into small Red ChIP kit (Diagenode) as described by the manufacturer using 2.5 fragments. The protein of interest is then immunoprecipitated using a µl of an anti-ERα monoclonal antibody (Diagenode Mab-NRF3A6-050).
