B-Sp7-iCre mice
Strain Name

C57BL/6-Sp7tm1(icre)Bcgen/Bcgen

Stock No.  110131
Common name

B-Sp7-F2A-iCre mice

Gene symbol and name  Sp7(transcription factor 7), Osx
Strain of origin

C57BL/6

Chromosome  15
Coat color Black Dietary information Growth and reproduction diet for experimental mice
NCBI Gene ID
170574

Application

  • Function research of genes
  • This Sp7iCre model is an efficient tool to study various gene functions when crossed with mice with different loxP site-flanked genes of interest, especially in studies of bone development, osteoblast lineage, and Hedgehog/Wnt signaling.

Expression


Expressed gene

iCre, improved cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1


Site of expression

osteoblast lineage, embryos perichondrium, bone trabeculae, bone collars


Gene editing strategy


from clipboard


An F2A-iCre sequence cassette was placed between the coding sequence of exon 2 and 3’UTR of the Sp7 gene in C57BL/6 ES cells. This strain was maintained on a C57BL/6 genetic background.


Phenotype Analysis


from clipboard


Fig 4. qPCR, Western blot, and Immunofluorescence analyses showed that Fam20c knockout resulted in a decreased expression of Calpastatin in OB Fam20cKO cells (Fig. 4A, B, E), whereas accompanied by a decreased phosphorylated expression level of Calpastatin (Fig. 4C). These were consistent with the results of proteomics and phosphoproteomics. Furthermore, Fam20cdeficient osteoblasts displayed a diminished expression of Calpain 1 and Calpain 2 (Fig. 4A, B, E) and attenuation of Calpain activity (Fig. 4D).
