摘要
We have characterized a transgenic mouse line in which enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) is expressed under the control of multimerized LEF-1 responsive elements. In embryos, EGFP was detected in known sites of Writ activation, including the primitive streak, mesoderm, neural tube, somites, heart, limb buds, mammary placodes, and whisker follicles. In vitro cultured transgenic embryonic fibroblasts upregulated EGFP expression in response to activation of Writ signaling by GSK3 beta inhibition. Mammary tumor cell lines derived from female LEF-EGFP transgenic mice treated with the carcinogen 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) also express EGFR Thus, this transgenic line is useful for ex vivo and in vitro studies of Writ signaling in development and cancer. genesis 48:183-194, 2010.
