rankl:HSE:CFP

Strain information
Strain ID TG1135
Strain Name rankl:HSE:CFP
Strain Type Transgenics
Characteristics Single transgenic expressing the osteoclast-inducing factor Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and CFP under bidirectional control of a heat shock-inducible promoter. Upon Rankl induction by heat-shock (incubating embryos at 39°C for 2 hours) at 9dpf, in rankl:HSE:CFP larvae, a severe loss in mineralized matrix of most embryos overexpressing Rankl resulting in an osteoporotic phenotype can be observed; with losses varying in extent (Fig. 7A-D in To TT et al., 2012).
Notes For screening of transgenic carriers, a short early heat shock should be conducted to induce CFP (but avoid any osteoporotic effect). Ideally, a heat shock is done at 2 dpf for 1 hour at 39C. The CFP signal can be observed 2 hours after heat shock for 20 min at 39C. Stronger signal can be seen the next day after. Heat shock after 8 dpf will induce osteoclast formation and osteoporotic phenotype.

The full-length open reading frame (ORF) of medaka rankl (786 nt, 262 aa) was cloned into BamHI-XhoI sites of pSGH2 (a gift from Thomas Czerny lab, Bajoghli B. et al., Dev Biol. 2004 Jul 15;271,416-430, 2004. pSGH2 contains a bidirectional heat-shock promoter (8x HSE) driving expression of CFP and has two flanking I-SceI sites for transgenesis. For details see To TT et al., 2012. The RANKL:HSE:CFP construct contains a bidirectional heat-shock promoter driving simultaneous expression of rankl and CFP in all cells of the body. The vector backbone sequence is not available.
