Analysis of the impact of CSF-1 administration in adult rats using a novel Csf1r-mApple reporter gene

TL;DR: The Csf1r‐mApple rat is a novel tool enabling analysis of rat macrophages in situ by direct imaging and providing an additional phenotypesic marker to facilitate exploration of rat tissue macrophage phenotypic and functional heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental and bioinformatic characterisation of the promoter region of the Marfan syndrome gene, FBN1

TL;DR: MG63 appears to be the optimal cell line for examining tissue-specific, biologically relevant promoter activity for FBN1, and the conserved promoter region was more active in MG63 cells than in non-FBN1-expressing lines but additional elements outside the proximal promoter are probably required for optimal tissue- specific expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of urokinase plasminogen activator gene transcription in the RAW264 murine macrophage cell line by macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF-1) is dependent upon the level of cell-surface receptor.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the murine macrophage cell line RAW264 responds to CSF-1 with inducible phosphorylation of cytoplasmic proteins on tyrosine residues but fails to induce transcription of uPA, indicating that maintenance of elevated uPA transcription by CSf-1 requires new receptors emerging continuously on the cell surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of microglia promotes diverse pathologies and early lethality in Alzheimer’s disease mice

TL;DR: In this article , microglia are strongly implicated in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet their impact on pathology and lifespan remains unclear, and the authors utilize a CSF1R hypomorphic mouse to generate a model of AD that genetically lacks micro-glia.
