We have generated an inducible cerebellar Purkinje cell-specific gene targeting system. This was achieved by establishing a mutant mouse line (D2CPR) from a C57BL/6 mouse ES cell line, which expressed a fusion protein consisting of the Cre recombinase and the progesterone receptor (CrePR). The Purkinje cell-specific expression of CrePR was attained by inserting CrePR into the glutamate receptor 62 subunit (GluR δ2) gene, which was expressed specifically in the Purkinje cells. Using the transgenic mice carrying the Cre-mediated reporter gene expression, We showed that the antiprogesterone RU486 could induce recombinase activity of the CrePR protein specifically in the mature cerebellar Purkinje cells of the D 2 CPR line. Thus this mutant line will be a useful tool for studying the molecular function of mature Purkinje cells by manipulating gene expression in a temporally restricted manner.}, pages = {397--407}, title = {C57BL/6マウスES細胞を用いたプルキンエ細胞および時期特異的遺伝子組換え系の開発}, volume = {115}, year = {2001} }
