    Notizen: Abstract We previously produced a transgenic mouse line designated MT-hMet30 by introducing the human mutant transthyretin (TTR) gene carrying the mouse metallothionein promoter, and showed that the presence of human variant TTR is sufficient for amyloid deposition in various tissues of these transgenic mice. However, the expression pattern of human mutant transthyretin gene in the mouse was different from that in man. To analyse pathologic processes, it is essential to establish a transgenic mouse line in which the developmental and tissue- specific expression of the human mutant TTR gene is the same as in man. Thus, we produced two additional transgenic mouse lines carrying the human mutant TTR gene containing either 0.6 kb (0.6- hMet30) or 6.0 kb (6.0-hMet30) of the upstream region. The expression levels of 6.0-hMet30 gene in the liver and serum were the same as in man and about 10 times higher than those of 0.6- hMet30 gene. In both lines amyloid deposition was observed in similar tissues to human patients except for the peripheral and autonomic nervous tissues. The amyloid deposition started earlier and was more extensive in 6.0-hMet30 than 0.6-hMet30 mice, suggesting that the serum levels of human mutant TTR are correlated with the occurrence and degree of amyloid deposition, to some extent. Neither amyloid deposition nor degenerative changes were observed in the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems despite the transgene expression in the choroid plexus of the 6.0-hMet30 mice. In the 6.0-hMet30 mice, amyloid deposition started at 9 months of age, although the serum level of human mutant TTR reached the adult level at 1 month. These results suggest that intrinsic environmental factors other than the mutant gene are involved in the late-onset deposition of amyloid fibrils. Transgenic mice described here should be useful for analysing such factors

    Notizen: Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) using polyacrylamide gels, termed pulsed-field polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PF-PAGE), had been developed for the effective separation of linear DNAs from circular ones [1]. The first generation PF-PAGE employed horizontal polyacrylamide gels run in a contour-clamped homogeneous electric field (CHEF) apparatus. The second generation system, using a vertical slab gel in a discontinuous buffer system and field inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE), was found to be easier to handle and requires a much shorter time for separation than the previous one [2]. In this report, basic aspects of the second generation PF-PAGE, such as the effects of a discontinuous buffer system and field inversion on the DNA migration in polyacrylamide gels, were investigated. The results indicate that the periodic inversion of electric field can broaden the resolving capability of polyacrylamide gels, enabling DNAs that otherwise fail to enter polyacrylamide gels to be resolved in such systems. Successful and possible applications of PF-PAGE techniques are also discussed.

    Notizen: We describe a rapid and sensitive DNA sequencing method for an automated fluorescent DNA sequencer (AFDS) and its application for detection of point mutations. The method is based on an improved cycle sequencing procedure in which only 10-50 fmol of template DNA is required. Furthermore, it is able to use crude DNA preparation as a template as well as the purified one. Thus, the improved method provided a simplified procedure for sequencing of various types of DNA, including cosmid DNA, in which purification steps were unnecessary. We also developed a novel system for detection of point mutations using AFDS. A set of four lanes is used for the parallel analysis of single-base profiles of four different samples, instead of for the four-base profile of a sample. The AFDS exhibits the base profiles of the samples with four different colors in the analyzed data, which enables us to identify a mutation as an additional peak with a color specific for the lane. The feasibility of our system was tested by analyzing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified genomic DNAs from four individuals including a carrier of a mutation of C to T. The mutation was clearly identified as an additional “T” peak of a color specific for the carrier. The mutation was also detectable even if 16 individuals including the carrier were simultaneously analyzed on a set of four lanes (four individual samples for each lane). Thus, the novel system is useful for simultaneous detection of mutations in a large number of individual samples.
