Transgenic mice were generated expressing c-fos genes under the control of the human metallothionein promoter. Although high levels of c-fos messenger RNA were detectable in a variety of tissues, deregulated c-fos expression specifically interfered with normal bone development without inducing malignant tumours.
构建了在人金属硫蛋白启动子控制下表达c-fos基因的转基因小鼠。尽管在多种组织中都能检测到高水平的c-fos信使核糖核酸,但c-fos表达失调会特异性地干扰正常骨骼发育,而不会诱发恶性肿瘤。
