| description | Interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein 2 (Irf2bp2), a co-repressor of Irf2, is required for fetal hepatic erythropoiesis through the expansion of erythromyeloid progenitors. Mice with germline ablation of the entire Irf2bp2 transcript produced no viable Irf2bp2-null (knockout, KO) pups in first litters. In subsequent litters, fewer than 1/3 of the expected KO pups were born and half survived to adulthood. Heart, skeletal muscle and liver tissues (tissues with high Irf2bp2 expression) were acquired from WT and KO mice, followed by RNA extraction using the RNeasy Midi Kit and subsequent gene expression profiling using the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST v1 array. Transcriptome profiles of surviving KO mice were contrasted to WT mice giving insight to modified gene expression in the absence of Irf2bp2 across multiple vital tissues. |
