项目摘要

Most aspects of physiology have 24-hour rhythmicity. The master clock regulating circadian physiology and behavior is located in the brain, in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN). Other tissues also generate rhythms of gene expression and have near-24-hr rhythms in function. An enduring question in the field is how the rhythmicity in different cells and tissues is coordinated. There is a significant unmet need for lines of mice that allow monitoring of circadian rhythms in specific tissues and cell types. The objective of this proposal is to generate and validate two novel lines of mice expressing luciferase in a rhythmic manner. In one line of mice, luciferase expression will be conditional on Cre recombinase and in the other line, luciferase is expressed in a non-conditional way. These lines will be generated by modifications of the highly rhythmic and widely expressed gene encoding albumin D-element binding protein (DBP). Our proposed studies will characterize these reporter lines for utility in generating bioluminescence rhythms in a variety of tissues, including liver, pancreas and brain, will verify the Cre-dependence of luciferase activity in the Cre-dependent line, and will verify that the genetic targeting event does not alter behavioral or molecular rhythmicity of the animals bearing it, as necessary for this to be a useful circadian reporter. We anticipate these lines of mice will be valuable to many investigators studying circadian rhythms in brain and peripheral tissues, and will facilitate studies of the desynchrony among tissues that occurs following shifts of the light-dark cycle. Once validated, these lines of mice will be distributed to qualified investigators directly and via the Jackson Laboratories repository.

生理学的大多数方面都有24小时的节律性。调节生物钟的主钟生理和行为位于大脑的视交叉上核(SCN)。其他组织也会产生基因表达的节律，并具有近24小时的功能节律。一个该领域的一个长期问题是不同细胞和组织中的节律是如何协调的。有一个重要的未得到满足的需求，即允许监测昼夜节律的小鼠品系特定的组织和细胞类型。该提案目标是生成并验证两个以有节奏的方式表达荧光素酶的新小鼠品系。在一组小鼠中，荧光素酶表达取决于Cre重组酶，而在另一行中，荧光素酶在一种无条件的方式。这些线条将通过修改高度有节奏的和广泛表达编码白蛋白D元件结合蛋白(DBP)的基因。我们建议的研究将描述这些报告线的特征，以便在生物发光节律的产生中发挥作用各种组织，包括肝、胰腺和脑，将验证荧光素酶对Cre的依赖 Cre依赖的品系中的活性，并将验证基因靶向事件不会改变携带它的动物的行为或分子节律性，这是有用的《昼夜报》记者。我们预计这些老鼠品系对许多研究人员来说将是有价值的研究大脑和周围组织的昼夜节律，将有助于研究在明暗周期转换后发生的组织间的去同步化。一旦得到验证，这些小鼠品系将直接和通过杰克逊基金会分发给合格的调查人员实验室储存库。
