Tool Details
- Tool name: SAR-22-097F mouse line
- Tool type: Mouse
- Cancer type: Carcinoma
- Disease: Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
- Model: Knock-In
- CRISPR: Yes
- Conditional: No
- Application: RNA-Seq, Western Blot, and Immunofluorescence
- Genetic background and cross history: AEG-1-C75S mice were created in C57BL/6/J background. ATG-1-C75S heterozygotexheterozygote mating was performed to generate AEG-1-WT adn AEG-1-C75S littermates
- Phenotype: Unaffected litter size of AEG-1-C75S mice compared to WT adn overall showing milder and different phenotype compared to AEG-1-/- mice
- Strain: C57BL/6/J
-
Description: Mouse line with cysteine 75 of AEG-1 mutated to serine. AEG-1-C75S mice might be more prone to developing NASH and HCC which could help design new therapeutic strategies.
Findings identify a novel role of AEG-1 palmitoylation regulating NASH and HCC thereby establishing the rationale for using inhibitors of AEG-1 depalmitoylating enzymes for the treatment of NASH and HCC. - Research area: Cancer
- Production details: Knock-in mice by CRISPR/Cas9 in which Cys75 of AEG-1 was mutated to Ser (AEG-1-C75S). AEG-1-C75S mice were created in C57BL/6/J background. ATG-1-C75S heterozygotexheterozygote mating was performed to generate AEG-1-WT adn AEG-1-C75S littermates
