目的:构建FKBP38(FK506 Binding Protein 38)基因肝脏特异敲除小鼠。方法:利用胚胎注射法构建在FKBP38上携带lox P位点的转基因小鼠。在FKBP38基因位置携带lox P位点的小鼠的基础上,以肝脏实质细胞特异性表达的Alb-Cre介导FKBP38条件性敲除,以获得FKBP38基因肝脏特异敲除小鼠模型Alb-Cre:FKBP38^fl/fl。同时对FKBP38特异性敲除鼠进行鉴定。结果:①FKBP38肝脏特异敲除小鼠FKBP38^-/-肝脏中FKBP38基因的m RNA水平相对于同年龄同窝野生型小鼠具有统计学差异(P〈0.001)。②FKBP38肝脏特异敲除小鼠FKBP38^-/-肝脏中FKBP38基因的蛋白表达水平相对于同年龄同窝野生型小鼠具有统计学差异(P〈0.001)。③FKBP38肝脏特异敲除小鼠FKBP38^-/-肝脏中,转录和翻译相关蛋白水平未见显著差异,p70 S6K的磷酸化水平轻微上调,4EBP-1的磷酸化水平有轻微下调。(4)FKBP38肝脏特异敲除小鼠FKBP38^-/-肝脏中,凋亡相关蛋白Bcl-2未见差异化表达。结论:FKBP38肝脏特异敲除小鼠FKBP38^-/-肝脏中,FKBP38基因的m RNA和蛋白基本不表达,提示成功构建FKBP38基因肝脏特异敲除小鼠。
Objective: To build the model of the gene FKBP38 (FK506 binding protein 38) conditional knock out in liver. Methods: Transgenic mouse whose FKBP38 gene was flanked with loxP was constructed by embryo microinjection. The FKBP38 gene was deleted by breeding mice harboring two loxP sites in FKBP38 (FKBP38^fl/fl) with the mice bearing the expression ofCre recombinase mice driven by an album promoter. Afterward, the genotype of FKBP38 conditional knockout mice was analyzed. Results: (1)Relative hepatic FKBP38 mRNA levels showed significant difference between FKBP38 conditional knockout mice (FKBP38^-/-) and wild type(P〈 0.001). (2)Relative hepatic FKBP38 protein expression levels of FKBP38 conditional knockout mice (FKBP38^-/-) were significantly different with wild type(P〈0.001).(3)Relative phosphorylation of hepatic p70 S6K and 4E-BP-1 protein of FKBP38 conditional knockout mice (FKBP38^-/-) showed no significant difference, with slight decrease in phosphorylation of 4E-BP-1, compared with wild type. (4)No significant difference in expression of hepatic Bcl-2 between FKBP38^-/- and wild type. Conclusions: The mouse model of the gene FKBP38 (FK506 binding protein 38) conditional knock out in liver is successfully built.
