タイトル Double transgenic mice crossed GFP-LC3 transgenic mice with alphaMyHC-mCherry-LC3 transgenic mice are a new and useful tool to examine the role of autophagy in the heart.
ジャーナル Circ J
Abstract BACKGROUND:The involvement of autophagy in heart disease has been reported. Transgenic mice expressing GFP-LC3 have been a useful tool in detecting autophagosomes systemically. It is difficult to differentiate increased formation of autophagosomes from decreased clearance of autophagosomes in the heart using GFP-LC3 mice.
METHODS AND RESULTS:We generated transgenic mice expressing mCherry-LC3 under alphaMyHC promoter and crossed the mice with transgenic mice expressing GFP-LC3. The deference of resistance to acidic conditions between GFP and mCherry overcame the limitation.
CONCLUSIONS:This method is an innovative approach to examine the role of autophagy and to analyze autophagosome maturation in cardiomyocytes. (Circ J 2010; 74: 203 - 206).
