Abstract:Objective To construct mice transgenic for human plasminogen-activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1),and to probe the role and mechanism of PAI-1 in the synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix in kidney diseases.Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmid pCAGGS-PAI-1 was digested with Pvu Ⅰ and Hind Ⅲ,recovered using agarose-gel electrophoresis,and then purified by using CsCl density-gradient ultracentrifugation.DNA was microinjected into male pronuclei of fertilized mouse eggs,the injected mouse eggs were then transplanted into the oviduct of pseudopregnant female mice.The offsprings were screened by using polymerase-chain reaction,and then identified by Southern-blot analysis and DNA sequencing.Results Two of twenty-nine survived offsprings were identified to be mice transgenic for human PAI-1.The mice transgenic showed subcutaneous hemorrhage at the end of the tail and hind limb.Immunohistochemical examination showed slightly elevated PAI-1 expression in the kidney.Conclusion Mice transgenic for human PAI-1 were constructed,providing an animal model for further investigations of the role and mechanism of PAI-1 in the pathogenesis and progression of kidney diseases.
