説明:
Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a signature cytokine of the T helper 17 (Th17) subset of CD4+ T cells and one of the six members (IL-17A~IL-17F) of the IL-17 family. IL-17A is primarily produced by Th17 cells and can also be produced by other immune cells under certain conditions, including CD8+ T cells, γδT cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and microglia [1]. IL-17A mediates downstream pathways that induce the production of inflammatory molecules, chemokines, antimicrobial peptides, and remodeling proteins, which have important effects on host defense, cell transport, immune regulation, and tissue repair, especially in inducing innate immune defense. In healthy skin, commensal microorganisms induce the production of IL-17A to provide antifungal protection. When the skin barrier is damaged, IL-17A promotes epithelial cell proliferation and can clear pathogenic factors, promoting tissue repair and wound healing [2]. IL-17A usually protects the body when it is acutely injured, but when a wound requires long-term healing and becomes a chronic injury, the role of IL-17A may transform into wound erosion or excessive proliferation, ultimately leading to loss of function [3].
IL-17A plays a key role in various infectious diseases, inflammations, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. Its high expression level is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis. Lung injury caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is largely the result of the promotion of inflammatory reactions by cytokines such as IL-17A. Dysregulation of IL-17 signaling promotes pathogenic inflammation. IL-17A has a pathogenic role in mediating the important inflammatory pathway of psoriasis. The IL-23/Th17/IL-17A pathway is a key link in its pathogenesis, and inhibiting the expression of IL-17A can effectively alleviate psoriasis [4]. IL-17A is also associated with the course of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and IL-17A inhibitors can effectively treat AS [5]. In addition, studies have shown that IL-17A is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system, and its expression level is related to the severity and progression of the disease [3].
B6-hIL-17A mice are humanized mouse models that express human IL-17A protein. They were constructed by using gene editing technology to replace the sequence encoding the endogenous extracellular domain of the mouse Il17a gene with the corresponding sequence from the human IL17A gene while retaining the mouse signal peptide. This strain can be used for mechanism research and preclinical evaluation of therapeutic drugs for various chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis. The homozygotes are viable and fertile.

説明:
The Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 1 (TREM1) gene encodes a transmembrane protein, also known as CD354, primarily expressed on myeloid cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, with expression also observed in dendritic cells, microglia, osteoclasts, platelets, and even some epithelial and endothelial cells [1]. Upon activation, the TREM1 protein amplifies inflammatory responses, often synergizing with Toll-like receptor (TLR) and NOD-like receptor (NLR) signaling pathways. This leads to the robust production and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, enhanced degranulation, phagocytosis, and respiratory burst in neutrophils and macrophages, and even promotes dendritic cell maturation [2]. A soluble form of TREM1 (sTREM1) also exists, which can act as a decoy receptor to modulate inflammation and serves as a biomarker for various inflammatory conditions [3]. Dysregulated TREM1 activity is implicated in a wide range of diseases, including infectious diseases like sepsis and pneumonia, chronic inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and various cancers (e.g., glioma, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast, colon, and pancreatic cancers), as well as neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and kidney-related diseases [2-5].
The B6-hTREM1 mouse is a humanized model, constructed by replacing the mouse Trem1 signal peptide (aa. 1-20) and endogenous extracellular domain (aa. 21-202) with the human TREM1 signal peptide (aa. 1-20) and extracellular domain (aa. 21-205), while preserving the murine aa. 203-230. B6-hTREM1 mice can be used for research into the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases, cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and kidney-related diseases, as well as for the screening, development, and safety evaluation of TREM1-targeted drugs.

説明:
The Transferrin receptor (TFRC) gene encodes Transferrin Receptor 1 (TFR1), a protein that is expressed at low levels in most normal cells but shows increased expression in highly proliferative cells, such as basal epidermal cells, intestinal epithelium, and certain activated immune cells. Brain capillary endothelial cells, which constitute the blood-brain barrier (BBB), also express this receptor at high levels [1]. TFR1 plays a critical role in maintaining iron metabolism and homeostasis by facilitating receptor-mediated endocytosis of iron-bound transferrin (Tf) via Tf cycling, thereby promoting iron uptake [2]. Cellular iron deficiency can lead to apoptosis, while cellular transformation requires substantial iron to sustain proliferation, with iron overload contributing to tumor progression. The high expression of TFR1 in many tumors makes it a potential tumor marker, offering a target for therapies to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis [1]. Moreover, TFR1 is implicated in anemia and iron metabolism disorders. Studies have shown that elevated TFR1 expression in cardiomyocytes is associated with exacerbated inflammation in myocarditis patients [3]. Various clinical drugs targeting TFR1 are currently under development, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and antibody-oligonucleotide conjugates, applicable to diseases such as cancer, anemia, and neurodegenerative disorders. Research indicates that enhancing antibody transport across the blood-brain barrier via TFR1, by forming specific bispecific antibodies with anti-β-amyloid antibodies, can improve therapeutic outcomes in Alzheimer's patients [4-5]. As research progresses, TFR1 is expected to become an effective clinical target for multiple diseases and a synergistic target for drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with a high prevalence mainly in the middle-aged and elderly population. It is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease (AD). The main clinical symptoms include resting tremors, limb stiffness, bradykinesia, loss of voluntary movement, etc. The typical pathological process of PD is the formation of Lewy bodies (LB) in the central nervous system (CNS), which results in the gradual death and loss of dopaminergic neurons, leading to the disease [6-7]. The main components of Lewy bodies are insoluble aggregates of abnormal α-synuclein (α-syn), and the SNCA gene, which encodes α-synuclein, is one of the key causative genes in Parkinson's disease. Mutations in this gene cause overexpression of α-syn, leading to the formation of Lewy bodies, ultimately leading to PD [8]. In addition, SNCA mutations are also associated with diseases such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA).
B6-huTFRC/huSNCA(3'UTR) mice are a dual-gene humanized model generated by crossing B6-huTFRC mice (Catalog No.: C001860) with B6-hSNCA (3'UTR) mice (Catalog No.: C001698). This model can be used for research on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), as well as iron metabolism disorders and tumorigenesis and development. It is also applicable for the development of TFRC/SNCA-targeted drugs.

説明:
The interleukin-2 receptor alpha subunit, encoded by the IL2RA gene and also known as CD25, is a critical determinant of IL-2 signaling, a pathway fundamental to T cell biology. While CD25 alone exhibits low affinity for IL-2, its assembly with the IL-2 receptor beta and gamma chains forms the high-affinity receptor complex essential for robust cellular responses to this pleiotropic cytokine [1]. Expressed prominently on activated T lymphocytes, including effector and regulatory T cells, CD25 is pivotal for diverse processes such as T cell proliferation, differentiation, and the maintenance of immune tolerance, largely mediated through its indispensable role in regulatory T cell development and function [2]. Consequently, perturbations in IL2RA expression or genetic variants within the locus are strongly associated with susceptibility to a range of severe autoimmune disorders, including multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis, highlighting its central involvement in immune homeostasis breakdown [3]. Furthermore, aberrant CD25 expression has been observed in certain malignancies, suggesting roles beyond adaptive immunity [4]. The demonstrable impact of IL2RA on immune regulation and disease pathogenesis underscores its significance as a key molecule in immunology and a compelling target for therapeutic intervention.
The B6-hIL2RA mouse is a humanized model constructed by replacing the sequence of the mouse Il2ra endogenous extracellular domain in situ with the corresponding extracellular domain from the human IL2RA. The murine signal peptide and transmembrane-cytoplasmic region were preserved. The B6-hIL2RA mice can be used for the study of the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis, and certain malignancies, as well as for IL2RA-targeted drug development.

説明:
Rett syndrome (RTT) is an X-linked dominant neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting female infants and young children, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 females. Characteristic clinical features include intellectual disability, loss of language skills, stereotypic hand movements, and gait disturbances. Affected individuals typically experience a period of normal development, followed by deceleration in head circumference growth between 6 to 18 months of age, and subsequent regression of acquired motor and cognitive abilities. Overt impairments in cognition and motor function generally emerge within 1 to 2 years. Mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene are responsible for over 90% of RTT cases. MECP2 is a nuclear protein that binds methylated DNA to modulate gene transcription. MECP2 gene duplications lead to MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS), while MECP2 deficiency disrupts central nervous system maturation, adversely affecting learning and memory, culminating in the clinical manifestations of RTT.
Current therapeutic strategies for RTT primarily revolve around gene supplementation using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to deliver functional human MECP2 genes to compensate for the endogenous deficiency. However, the substantial size of the MECP2 gene surpasses the packaging capacity of most viral vectors, and overexpression of MECP2 poses a risk of severe neurological complications. These challenges have significantly impeded the progress of gene supplementation therapies. Consequently, the focus has shifted towards DNA/RNA editing approaches aimed at correcting MECP2 mutations and restoring physiological levels of MECP2 protein expression. Notably, several research groups have successfully employed CRISPR-based gene editing technologies to rectify MECP2 mutations in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) or patient-derived cells ex vivo [1-2]. Given the pivotal role of animal models in preclinical research, the development of humanized mouse models expressing the human MECP2 gene is crucial. These models facilitate the transition of gene therapy candidates—encompassing small nucleic acids, CRISPR-based editors, base editors, and RNA editing technologies—into clinical stages [3-4].
This strain is a humanized MECP2 gene mouse model, generated by replacing the endogenous mouse Mecp2 gene with the human MECP2 gene harboring the T158M mutation through embryonic stem cell targeting techniques. This mutation represents the most common human RTT-associated missense mutation in MECP2. Studies have shown that mice carrying this mutation recapitulate many clinical features of RTT [5].

説明:
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a protein disorder caused by the abnormal accumulation of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) protein in organs and tissues throughout the body, primarily affecting the peripheral nervous system and heart [1]. ATTR can be divided into hereditary ATTR and wild-type ATTR, with hereditary ATTR being caused by genetic mutations in the TTR gene.
The TTR gene encodes transthyretin (TTR), also known as prealbumin, which is mainly synthesized in the liver and to a lesser extent in the brain’s choroid plexus or ocular photoreceptor tissue (such as the retina). TTR is a transport protein that exists as a homotetramer in peripheral blood under normal physiological conditions and participates in the transport of thyroxine and retinol-binding protein. Mutations in the TTR gene can lead to hereditary familial amyloidosis, such as Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis Myocardiopathy (ATTR-CM) and Transthyretin Amyloid Polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN). The pathogenic mechanism is that structurally unstable TTR protein tetramers develop into pathological aggregates in tissues such as the peripheral nervous system, heart, eyes, kidneys, and meninges, forming insoluble amyloid deposits, eventually leading to ATTR.
The treatments for ATTR-CM and ATTR-PN mainly involve inhibiting the production of mutant TTR mRNA or stabilizing the structure of TTR protein tetramers. At present, various drug pipelines have emerged in the field of gene therapy targeting the TTR gene, including ASO, siRNA, and CRISPR-based gene therapies. Among them, Inotersen Sodium, developed by Ionis, the leading oligonucleic acid drug (ASO) therapy company, is the first approved ASO drug for this disease. It targets the conserved sequence of the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of TTR mRNA to induce mRNA degradation and reduce TTR synthesis in liver cells [2]. Since most ASO, siRNA, and CRISPR-based therapies target human TTR genes, considering the differences between animals and humans at the genetic level, humanizing mouse genes will help advance gene therapy drug pipelines into clinical stages. This strain is a mouse Ttr gene humanized model and can be used for research on transthyretin amyloidosis. The homozygous B6-hTTR mice are viable and fertile [3-6]. Additionally, based on the independently developed TurboKnockout fusion BAC recombination technology, Cyagen can also generate hot mutation models based on this strain and provide customized services for specific mutations to meet experimental needs in pharmacology.

状況:
説明:
The KHK gene encodes ketohexokinase, an enzyme mainly expressed in the liver, kidneys, and small intestine, and plays a crucial role in fructose metabolism. KHK catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose into fructose-1-phosphate, which is the first step in the fructose metabolic pathway, enabling its conversion into intermediate products that can enter the glycolytic or gluconeogenic pathways. This gene generates two isoforms (KHK-A and KHK-C). Among them, KHK-C has higher catalytic activity and is mainly expressed in the liver, while KHK-A is widely distributed in various tissues, but its function is not fully understood. The expression and activity of KHK are closely related to fructose intake. Excessive fructose intake will lead to the upregulation of KHK activity, which triggers metabolic disorders, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), insulin resistance, and obesity [1]. The excessive activation of KHK-C is closely associated with fructose-induced metabolic dysfunction, and blocking KHK-C can significantly ameliorate metabolic abnormalities in fructose-sensitive mice [2]. In addition, fructose metabolism may play an important role in cancer and other proliferative diseases, providing signaling cues that sustain the proliferation of cancer cells. Many cancer cells overexpress KHK. Moreover, the genetic disorder (essential fructosuria) caused by loss-of-function mutations in KHK is clinically asymptomatic and harmless, which further supports the view that inhibiting KHK in cancer patients may be well tolerated [3]. Therefore, KHK has emerged as a potential target for treating metabolic diseases and cancer. Inhibitors targeting KHK are currently under development and have shown the potential to improve metabolic syndrome and inhibit tumor progression.
The B6-hKHK mice are a humanized model constructed through gene editing technology, in which the sequence of the mouse Khk gene is replaced in situ with the corresponding sequence of the human KHK gene. Homozygous B6-hKHK mice are viable and fertile. This model can be used for the study of the pathological mechanisms and treatment methods of metabolic diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), insulin resistance, and obesity, as well as cancer. It can also be applied to the screening, research and development, and safety evaluation of KHK-targeted drugs.

説明:
Inhibin βE subunit (INHBE) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, highly specifically expressed in liver cells. The precursor protein of INHBE generates the inhibin β subunit after proteolytic processing. This protein is associated with various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune response, and hormone secretion. During the development of obesity and diabetes, the expression of INHBE protein inhibits the proliferation and growth of relevant cells in the pancreas and liver. Research has found a positive correlation between INHBE expression in the liver and insulin resistance and body mass index (BMI), suggesting that INHBE may be a liver factor in altering systemic metabolic status under conditions of obesity-related insulin resistance [1]. The studies conducted by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and the Regeneron Genetics Center (RGC), respectively, revealed the close relationship between INHBE and fat regulation. The research demonstrated that rare loss-of-function variants in INHBE may protect the liver from the impact of inflammation, abnormal blood lipids, and type 2 diabetes by promoting healthy fat storage. Patients carrying such mutations exhibit more normal fat distribution, significantly reduced abdominal fat, improved metabolic conditions, and a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes [2-4]. These findings suggest that INHBE is a liver-specific negative regulator of fat storage. Inhibiting the expression of INHBE genes and proteins may be a potential strategy for treating metabolic disorders related to improper fat distribution and storage. Consequently, several small nucleic acid pharmaceutical companies, including Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, and Wave Life Sciences, are currently developing RNA interference (RNAi) drugs targeting INHBE to treat obesity [5-7].
The leptin (LEP) gene, also known as the OB gene, encodes the leptin protein, which is secreted into the circulation by white adipocytes and plays a major role in regulating energy homeostasis. Circulating leptin binds to leptin receptors (LEPR) in the brain, activating downstream signaling pathways that inhibit feeding and promote energy expenditure. Leptin also has multiple endocrine functions and is involved in physiopathological processes such as immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, reproduction, bone formation, and wound healing [8]. Mutations in the LEP gene and its regulatory regions lead to severe obesity and morbid obesity with hypogonadism in humans and are also associated with the development of type II diabetes [9].
The B6-hINHBE/ob mouse model, generated by mating B6-hINHBE mice (Catalog Number: C001533) with Lep KO (ob/ob) mice (Catalog Number: C001368), is a metabolic disease model. It can be used for research on obesity, type II diabetes, and metabolic diseases related to improper fat distribution and storage, and for the development of human INHBE-targeted therapies.
Inhibin βE subunit (INHBE) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, highly specifically expressed in liver cells. The precursor protein of INHBE generates the inhibin β subunit after proteolytic processing.

B6-hIGHMBP2
製品ID :
C001437
系統:
C57BL/6NCya
状況:
説明:
The IGHMBP2 (Immunoglobulin mu binding protein 2) gene encodes an ATP-dependent helicase that is expressed throughout the body and contains a helicase structural domain, a single-stranded nucleic acid binding domain, and one zinc finger motif. It is involved in the regulation of DNA replication, mRNA splicing, transcription, and translation. Mutations in IGHMBP2 can lead to two different types of diseases: spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2S (CMT2S).
Spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) is a rare autosomal recessive motor neuron disease, with its main clinical symptom being diaphragmatic paralysis leading to respiratory distress, occurring mostly in infants aged 6 to 12 months. In addition, SMARD1 can also cause severe muscle atrophy that progresses from the distal to the proximal limbs, intrauterine growth retardation, weak crying, and sensory and autonomic nervous system defects [1]. Restrictive cardiomyopathy may be one of the phenotypes of SMARD1 [2]. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2S (CMT2S) is a rare hereditary neurological disease and is a subtype of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2). CMT2 is a group of hereditary peripheral neuropathies characterized by abnormal fibers or axons extending from the nerve cell body to muscles or sensory organs, reducing the strength of nerve impulses. The clinical characteristics of CMT2S include symmetrical distal limb weakness and muscle atrophy, with severe peripheral nerve damage.
Currently, ASO drugs and AAV-based gene therapy have emerged in the IGHMBP2-targeted drug pipeline for the treatment of SMARD1 and CMT2. Gene therapy is expected to become one of the most promising treatments for these diseases. However, since most ASO, AAV-based gene therapy, etc., act on the human IGHMBP2 gene, considering the differences between animals and humans in genes, humanizing the mouse gene will help promote the further clinical translation of therapies targeting IGHMBP2. This strain is a mouse Ighmbp2 gene humanized model and can be used for research on SMARD1 and CMT2S. The homozygous B6-hIGHMBP2 mice are viable and fertile. In addition, based on the independently developed TurboKnockout fusion BAC recombination technology, Cyagen can also generate hot mutation models based on this strain and provide customized services for specific mutations to meet the experimental needs in pharmacology and other fields related to SMARD1 and CMT2S.

B6-hSNCA

C57BL/6NCya
状況:
説明:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that occurs mostly in middle-aged and elderly people and is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease (AD). Clinical symptoms of PD are characterized by resting tremors, limb stiffness, bradykinesia, and lack of voluntary movement. The typical pathology of PD is characterized by the formation of Lewy bodies (LB) in the central nervous system (CNS). This process leads to the progressive death and loss of dopaminergic neurons, ultimately resulting in the development of Parkinson's disease. Lewy bodies are mainly composed of insoluble aggregates of abnormal α-synuclein (α-syn).
The SNCA gene, one of the key pathogenic genes in Parkinson's disease, encodes α-syn. Mutations in SNCA can cause overexpression of α-syn, which leads to the formation of Lewy bodies and ultimately PD. Therefore, the SNCA gene is considered an effective drug target for the treatment of PD [1].
Gene therapy is one of the ways to treat PD, among which the development prospects of SNCA-targeted drugs are particularly prominent. The drug pipelines targeting SNCA are widely laid out, and ASO, siRNA, and CRISPR therapies have emerged [2].
This strain is a mouse Snca gene humanized model and can be used for research on PD. The homozygous B6-hSNCA mice are viable and fertile. Leveraging its proprietary TurboKnockout fusion BAC recombination technology, Cyagen can also generate hot mutation models based on this strain and provide customized services for specific mutations to meet the experimental needs in pharmacology and other fields related to PD.
