CKO mice developed by SMOC supported the identification of a novel lncRNA that regulates dendritic cell migration and the corresponding immune response
Published on today's Immunity, Prof. Xuetao Cao's group identified a novel long non-coding RNA lnc-Dpf3 whose feedback restrains CCR7-mediated dendritic cell (DC) migration. Mechanistically, CCR7 stimulation activates the HIF-1alpha transcription factor pathway in DCs, leading to metabolic reprogramming towards glycolysis for DC migration.
SMOC generated lnc-Dpf3fl/flItgax-cre+ mice with conditional deletion of this functional lncRNA in DCs, proving that DC-specific lnc-Dpf3 deficiency selectively promotes CCR7-mediated DC migration.

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。
