ctsk:mCherry

Strain information
Strain ID TG1130
Strain Name ctsk:mCherry
Strain Type Transgenics
Characteristics The ctsk:mCherry transgenic embryos express mCherry in bone resorbing osteoclasts (see To et al., Comp Biochem Physiol C 2015 ). In early embryos, it is also expressed in ctsk positive cells in the head and in the tail fin, which are mesenchymal cells but not osteoclasts. First osteoclasts in the vertebral column appear at 21 days post fertilization.
Transgene: A 3.18 kb upstream sequence of the cathepsin K gene (ENSORLT00000019682), including 80 nucleotides of exon 1 was amplified with primers ctskUP (GGGGTACCCCCGCTCTGCAGAAACTGT; contains KpnI site) and ctskDOWN (CGGGATATCCCGTCTGCAGCTGAAGTAGG; contains EcoRV site), and cloned into the KpnI and EcoRV sites in front of mCherry into an I-SceI meganuclease vector.

Lateral view of ctsk:mCherry medaka at 6 weeks post fertilization. mCherry expression is seen in osteoclasts of hemal and neural arches in the vertebral bodies, and in fin rays. Expression at base of fins and in skull might be in cathepsinK-positive cells that are likely not osteoclasts.
