BackgroundCarbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reductase with broad substrate specificity. CBR1 catalyzes the reduction of numerous carbonyl compounds, including quinones, prostaglandins, menadione, and multiple xenobiotics, while also participating in various cellular processes, such as carcinogenesis, apoptosis, signal transduction, and drug resistance. In this study, we aimed to generate transgenic mice overexpressing mouse Cbr1 (mCbr1), characterize the mCbr1 expression in different organs, and identify changes in protein expression patterns.Methods and ResultsTo facilitate a deeper understanding of the functions of CBR1, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing CBR1 throughout the body. These transgenic mice overexpress 3xFLAG-tagged mCbr1 (3xFLAG-mCbr1) under the CAG promoter. Two lines of transgenic mice were generated, one with 3xFLAG-mCbr1 expression in multiple tissues, and the other, with specific expression of 3xFLAG-mCbr1 in the heart. Pathway and network analysis using transgenic mouse hearts identified 73 proteins with levels of expression correlating with mCbr1 overexpression. The expression of voltage-gated anion channels, which may be directly related to calcium ion-related myocardial contraction, was also upregulated.ConclusionmCbr1 transgenic mice may be useful for further in vivo analyses of the molecular mechanisms regulated by Cbr1; such analyses will provide a better understanding of its effects on carcinogenesis and cardiotoxicity of certain cancer drugs.
