Recombination systems represent a major breakthrough in the field of genetic model engineering. The Flp recombinases (Flp, Flpe, and Flpo) bind and cleave DNA Frt sites. We created a transgenic mouse strain ([Fsp1-Flpo]) expressing the Flpo recombinase in fibroblasts. This strain was obtained by random insertion inside mouse zygotes after pronuclear injection. Flpo expression was placed under the control of the promoter of Fsp1 (fibroblast-specific protein 1) gene, whose expression starts after gastrulation at Day 8.5 in cells of mesenchymal origin. We verified the correct expression and function of the Flpo enzyme by several ex vivo and in vivo approaches. The [Fsp1-Flpo] strain represents a genuine tool to further target the recombination of transgenes with Frt sites specifically in cells of mesenchymal origin or with a fibroblastic phenotype.
重组系统代表了遗传模型工程领域的重大突破。Flp 重组酶(Flp、Flpe 和 Flpo)结合并切割 DNA Frt 位点。我们创建了一种表达 Flpo 重组酶的转基因小鼠品系 ([Fsp1-Flpo]),该品系通过原核注射后随机插入到受精卵中获得。Flpo 表达受 Fsp1(成纤维细胞特异性蛋白 1)基因启动子的控制,该基因在胚胎发生第 8.5 天开始在中胚层来源的细胞中表达。我们通过多种离体和体内方法验证了 Flpo 酶的正确表达和功能。[Fsp1-Flpo]品系代表了一种真正的工具,可以进一步将 Frt 位点的转基因重组专门靶向中胚层来源的细胞或具有成纤维细胞表型的细胞。
