图2. Morpholino Knockdown 靶点位置示意图。The zebrafish gene-X was targeted by three specific morpholino antisense strategies to prevent either the translation of the zebrafish gene (ATG-MO) or proper splicing of exon 3 (E3I3-MO).

图3. Panels A through H show lateral views of control MO injected zebrafish embryos (Panel A and Panel E) and embryos injected with  gene-X morpholino oligonucleotides (MO) (Panel B through C, Panel F through G), gene-X-e3i3-MO plus nonmutant zebrafish gene-X  (Panel D and Panel H). Coinjection of nonmutant zebrafish gene-X mRNA rescued U-shaped somites (red arrow) and curved body axis  (blue dotted line) in gene-X morphants at 52 hpf. The bar graph in Panel I shows the percentage of embryos with development defects.Panels J Effectiveness of gene-X knockdown was confirmed by RT-PCR and sanger sequencing. hpf, hours post fertilization.

(C-E) Compared with wild-type control, embryos injected with geneX-MO present a lower number of incomplete ISVs and only occasional sprouts (asterisk) of dorsal aorta. The boxed regions are shown at higher magnification in the right panels. DLAV, dorsal longitudinal anastomotic vessels; ISV, intersegmental vessels; DA, dorsal aorta; PCV, posterior cardinal vein.

图6. Morpholino knock down of geneX induces potent CNS-specific apoptosis. Wild-type control embryos and embryos injected with geneX-MO were stained with acridine orange (AO) at 32hpf. Apoptotic cells are visible as black spots, and less bright homogenous black staining is unspecific background staining. (A-B) Uninjected wild-type control zebrafish exhibited few or no apoptotic cells in CNS (central nervous system). In contrast, significantly increased staining was observed throughout  the CNS in zebrafish injected with geneX-MO (C-D). The blue boxed regions are shown at higher magnification in the right panels. A-D: lateral view, anterior, left.

图7. GeneX knock down induces potent ototoxicity in zebrafish. Wild-type control embryos and embryos injected with geneX-MO were stained with the mitochondrial potentiometric dye DASPEI at 6-dpf. Hair cells stereotypically located on the lateral line were stained as green dots (white arrow). Uninjected wild-type control zebrafish exhibited normal hair cell number. In contrast, significantly decreased hair cell staining was observed in zebrafish injected with geneX-MO. Fluorescent DASPEI images were inverted for particle analysis. The fluorescence particle signal was quantified using morphometric analysis. dpf, days post fertilization.

基因敲除斑马鱼定制(Cas9-KO)

利用CRISPR/Cas9技术,针对靶基因序列设计sgRNA, 指导Cas9蛋白在特定基因位点引起DNA双链断裂,在非 同源性末端接合修复断裂DNA的过程中,靶基因碱基突变或缺失被引入到斑马鱼基因组中,最终导致靶基因无法正 常转录翻译,达到基因敲除的目的。 目前我们利用CRISPR-Cas9技术,提供AB品系的基因敲除斑马鱼制备,AB系是最为普遍使用的标准纯遗传背景品系之一。同时也可根据委托方的需求,提供TU、Casper 以及其它遗传背景的基因敲除斑马鱼服务。

Tamoxifen诱导Cre-ERT2小鼠 使用指南

Cre-ERT2在无Tamoxifen诱导的情况下,在细胞质内处于无活性状态;当Tamoxifen诱导后,Tamoxifen的代谢产物4-OHT(雌激素类似物)与ERT结合,可使Cre-ERT2进核发挥Cre重组酶活性。
