There are many advantages to the use of mice as a model to study the regulation of cholesterol metabolism. Common models of hypercholesterolemia include low-density lipoprotein receptor deficient (LDLR -/-) mice and apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE) -/- mice. Herein, we describe the recently generated mouse model, L-sIDOL Tg mice, which express a dominant active form of Inducible Degrader Of the Low-density lipoprotein receptor (IDOL) in a liver-specific manner. This murine model offers significant advantages over previously established models for the study of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.
将小鼠作为研究胆固醇代谢调节的模型有许多优点。高胆固醇血症的常见模型包括低密度脂蛋白受体缺陷(LDLR -/-)小鼠和载脂蛋白E缺陷(ApoE -/-)小鼠。在此,我们描述了最近构建的小鼠模型,L-sIDOL Tg小鼠,其以肝脏特异性方式表达低密度脂蛋白受体诱导降解物(IDOL)的显性活性形式。与先前建立的用于研究高胆固醇血症和动脉粥样硬化的模型相比,这种小鼠模型具有显著优势。
