5' flanking sequences of the rat tyrosine hydroxylase gene target accurate tissue-specific, developmental, and transsynaptic expression in transgenic mice

Abstract: Transgenic mice were generated in which sequences that flank the rat tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene were linked to the bacterial chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT) gene. Mice bearing 4.8 kilobases (kb) of 5' flanking DNA exhibited correct tissue-specific expression in the CNS and periphery. Expression was more robust in the CNS than in the periphery, although CAT activity was clearly detected in sympathetic ganglia (superior cervical ganglia) and the adrenal, the two peripheral tissues that contain TH-po… Show more

“…The same TH promoter was characterized previously in other vertebrate species. In mice, this promoter is expressed in a tissue-specific manner (Banerjee et al, 1992(Banerjee et al, , 1994. In transgenic mice, however, this promoter drove gene expressions in both type 1 (colocalization with TH antibodies) and type 2 (no colocalization with TH antibodies) catecholaminergic cells (Gustincich et al, 1997;Zhang et al, 2004).…”

“…Transcriptional regulation of the TH gene has been extensively investigated in numerous laboratories. In vivo transgenic mice experiments have been performed to address whether different promoter regions of the human, rat, and mouse TH gene can confer cell type-specific gene expression (Gandelman et al 1990;Kaneda et al 1991;Banerjee et al 1992;Min et al 1994;Wong et al 1995;Morgan et al 1996). Despite some variations between such studies, in general they established that 5¢ upstream sequences (> 5 kb) of the TH gene are able to drive reporter gene expression in most catecholaminergic (CA) neurons and endocrine cells, with some ectopic expressions.…”
