| abstractText | The Cre-driver mouse line, which allows for in vivo regulation of target gene(s) in specific cells, is an indispensable tool for recent muscle research. In this study, I aimed to explore new applications of muscle specific Cre-driver mouse line in muscle research. For this purpose, I generated an iPS cells from a myofiber specific conditional mouse with tamoxifen inducible GFP expression, and then I checked whether homologous recombination was induced in the iPS-derived myogenic cells by tamoxifen administration. Fibroblasts were isolated from the tails of Myf6 (CE/wt)::CAG-EGFP mice, which expressed GFP specifically in Myf6 lineages by tamoxifen injection, and then iPS cells was generated by transfection with a vector based on sendai-virus and containing OSKM genes. Muscle specific conditional mouse-derived iPS cells (mCM-iPSCs) were successfully differentiated to myogenic cells, such as Pax7(+) muscle progenitors, MyoD(+) myoblasts, and MHC(+) myotubes, under myogenic differentiation conditions. Using this model, I examined whether homologous recombination was induced in mCM-iPSC-derived myotubes by 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4OH-TAM) administration. As a result, multinucleated myotubes showed GFP expression, while no GFP signals were detected in both Pax7(+) muscle progenitor and non-myogenic cells. These results indicated that homologous recombination could be induced in mCM-iPSC-derived myotubes by tamoxifen administration, and that this system operated normally even in reprogrammed cells. Also, I evidenced that GFP reporter was expressed in myoblasts in addition to multinucleated myotubes when tamoxifen-pulse was applied at an early phase of myogenesis. Taken together, Myf6 (CE/wt)::CAG-EGFP mouse-derived iPS cells reproduced at least in part Myf6 expression during mouse myogenesis. This study demonstrated a novel application of muscle specific conditional mouse in addition to in vivo application, and mCM-iPSCs could also be used in in vitro investigations with muscle specific conditional knock-out mouse. |
