Atg5-null mice are neonatal lethal. We have revealed in our recent paper that these mice die due to neuronal dysfunction resulting in suckling failure. Our new mouse model, atg5;Eno2/Nse-Atg5 mice, where Atg5 is deficient in the whole body except for neurons, enables us to analyze the consequences of macroautophagy/autophagy-deficiency in the whole body of adult mice.
Atg5基因敲除小鼠在出生时即死亡。我们在最近的论文中揭示,这些小鼠因神经元功能障碍导致哺乳失败而死亡。我们的新小鼠模型,即atg5;Eno2/Nse-Atg5小鼠,其中Atg5在除神经元外的全身均有缺陷,这使我们能够分析成年小鼠全身自噬/自噬缺陷的后果。
