osx_tv1mutant/osx:mCherry

Strain information
Strain ID TG1138
Strain Name osx_tv1mutant/osx:mCherry
Strain Type Transgenics
Characteristics CRISPR/Cas9 generated medaka mutant carrying a deletion in osterix/Sp7 (transcript variant 1) in a osx:mCherry transgenic background, with premature and mature osteoblasts expressing mCherry. Heterozygous mutant larvae showed slightly reduced numbers of osteoblasts in shortened neural arches with asymmetrical length. However, this arch phenotype is sometimes too sultle to observe. Thus, mutant genotype of an adult fish needs to be confirmed by RFLP. Homozygous mutant larvae showed strong intramembranous bone defects in cranial structures, arches as well as caudal fin rays. Absence of osx:mCherry positive cells can be observed in structures with bone defects. Homozygous mutant larvae have high lethal rate and are not viable.

osx_mCherry transgene map
A 4.1-kb fragment (including a putative Runx2 binding site) upstream of the osterix (osx) translational start site from genomic DNA was cloned in front of mCherry into a vector with flanking I-SceI meganuclease restriction sites (for details see Renn and Winkler, Dev Dyn 2009).

(A') osx:mcherry-expressing osteoblasts in wildtype sibling. Dorsal view of embryo at 12 dpf. (B') osx:mcherry-expressing osteoblasts in osx-/- mutant, dorsal view at 15 dpf. Note reduction of osx-positive osteoblasts skull bones such as branchiostegal rays and parasphenoid. (A') and (B') are merged images from brightfield and fluorescent channels. Boxes indicate areas with auto-fluorescent pigment cells.

Note that image (D) was taken with extended exposure time to achieve sufficient signal. (C') and (D') show higher magnification of vertebral body region boxed in (C) and (D).
