项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In many aspects the rat is a better animal model than the mouse for functional genomic studies. The physiology and drug metabolism of rats and humans are more similar than that of mice and humans. The rat is larger than the mouse, making many studies easier to perform and sampling more accurate. The recent completion of the Brown Norway rat genome improves further the potential of the rat as an excellent organism for studying human diseases. Unfortunately, many genetic manipulation techniques available in the mouse such as random mutagenesis with a gene trap (both retroviral-based and non-retroviral-based), gene knock- outs, gene knock-ins, and conditional mutations have not been possible in the rat because there is no way to effectively harvest and culture rat embryonic stem cells. Existing methods for producing gene deletions in rats, including cloning and chemical mutation, are inefficient and not practical. This deficiency leads to a severe bottleneck in our ability to create rat models of human disease. The product that will arise from this proposal will be rats with single gene knockouts for use as models of human disease in research and drug discovery (MutaRat Animal Models). Transposagen has developed a novel technology, based on human L1 retrotransposons, to generate animals with a high rate of random gene mutations in germ cells.In MutaRats, mutagenesis will occur in sperm and oocytes and some offspring will contain single gene disruptions. These offspring can be used to establish authentic gene knockout rat lines. In Phase I we successfully developed and characterized MutaMice, generating 22 potential founders.We have subsequently developed similar "mutator" founder rats (MutaRats), and in Phase II, we intend to characterize these rats, and use them to generate rats with stable, singe gene deletions (gene knockout MutaRat Animal Models). Specific aim 1 isto screen existing MutaRatfounder lines to determine the line with the highest frequency of mutation. This line will then be bred to establish a breeding colony that can be used to obtain single gene knockout rats in Specific Aim 2. We do not intend to characterize the phenotypes of these lines, nor to establish breeding colonies of individual knockout rat linesas part of this proposal, but instead to establish a sperm bank comprising sequenced insertional gene disruptions, the MutaRat Germ Line Resource. In Specific Aim 3 we will develop the MutaRat Germ Line Resourceof cryopreserved sperm from rats with single gene knockouts. We estimate that we will have a sperm bank with at least 100 different gene knockouts by the endof this project in December, 2008. This MutaRat Germ Line Resource will be the only technology capable of creating and rapidly mapping random gene knockouts in rats. Knockout ratswill be provided to the academic community in accordance with the NIH policy on sharing of model organisms for biomedical research and will be distributed by the National Rat Resource and Research Center. In Phase III, we will establish a distribution partnership with an existing laboratory animal company to market, establish and validate (as necessary), and distribute these lines, and others as they are developed. The innovation of this proposal is the use of a novel retrotransposon technology to create the only system able to rapidly create and map insertional deletions in the rat and other mammals. This technology is expected to offer significant advantages in cost and speed when compared with existing mutagenesis systems available in mice, and to generate novel gene knockout models that have not previously been available in any vertebrate. Transposagen's MutaRat Animal Models will contribute to human health by providing new vertebrate models of disease for studying pathogenesis and for discovery and development of pharmaceutical compounds.
描述(由申请人提供):在许多方面,大鼠是比小鼠更好的功能基因组研究动物模型。大鼠和人的生理和药物代谢比小鼠和人更相似。大鼠比小鼠大,这使得许多研究更容易进行,采样也更准确。最近完成的褐挪威大鼠基因组进一步提高了大鼠作为研究人类疾病的优秀生物的潜力。不幸的是,由于没有办法有效地收获和培养大鼠胚胎干细胞,许多可用的小鼠基因操作技术,如基因诱捕器随机诱变(基于逆转录病毒和非基于逆转录病毒)、基因敲除、基因敲入和条件突变在大鼠身上都不可能实现。现有的在大鼠身上制造基因缺失的方法,包括克隆和化学突变,效率低下且不实用。这一缺陷导致了我们创建人类疾病大鼠模型的能力的严重瓶颈。该提案将产生的产品将是单基因敲除的大鼠,用于研究和药物发现中的人类疾病模型(MutaRat动物模型)。Transposagen开发了一种基于人类L1逆转录转座子的新技术,在生殖细胞中产生具有高随机基因突变率的动物。在MutaRats中,突变将发生在精子和卵母细胞中,一些后代将包含单基因破坏。这些后代可以用来建立真正的基因敲除大鼠系。在第一阶段,我们成功地开发和表征了MutaMice,产生了22个潜在的创始人。我们随后开发了类似的“突变”创始大鼠(MutaRats),在II期,我们打算对这些大鼠进行表征,并利用它们产生稳定的单基因缺失大鼠(基因敲除MutaRat动物模型)。具体目的1是筛选现有的MutaRatfounder系,以确定突变频率最高的系。这一品系随后将被培育以建立一个繁殖群体,该群体可用于获得Specific Aim 2中的单基因敲除大鼠。我们不打算表征这些系的表型,也不打算建立单个敲除大鼠系的繁殖群体,而是建立一个精子库,包括测序插入基因中断,MutaRat生殖系资源。在特异性目标3中,我们将开发MutaRat生殖系资源,该资源来自单基因敲除的大鼠冷冻保存的精子。我们估计,到2008年12月这个项目结束时,我们将拥有一个拥有至少100个不同基因敲除的精子库。这种MutaRat生殖系资源将是唯一能够在大鼠中创建和快速定位随机基因敲除的技术。敲除鼠将根据NIH生物医学研究模式生物共享政策提供给学术界,并将由国家大鼠资源和研究中心分发。在第三阶段,我们将与一家现有的实验动物公司建立分销合作伙伴关系,以营销,建立和验证(必要时),并分销这些产品线,以及其他正在开发的产品线。这项提议的创新之处在于使用了一种新的反转录转座子技术来创建唯一能够在大鼠和其他哺乳动物中快速创建和绘制插入缺失的系统。与现有的小鼠诱变系统相比,该技术有望在成本和速度上提供显著优势,并产生新的基因敲除模型,这在以前的任何脊椎动物中都是不可用的。transosagen的MutaRat动物模型将为研究疾病的发病机制和药物化合物的发现和开发提供新的脊椎动物模型,从而为人类健康做出贡献。
