Local and CNS-wide astrocyte intracellular calcium signalling attenuation in vivo with CalExflox mice: experimental and computational exploration
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In this study, we generated knock-in CalExflox mice (Calcium Extrusion) for Cre-dependent expression of mCherry-hPMCA2w/b to attenuate astrocyte calcium signaling in genetically defined cells in vivo. We crossed CalExflox mice to astrocyte specific Aldh1l1-Cre/ERT2 mice in order to achieve inducible global CNS-wide calicum signaling attenuation. Within six days of induction in the bigenic mice, we observed profoundly altered ambulation in the open field, disrupted motor coordination and gait, and premature lethality, which based on imaging, behavioural, and RNA-seq analyses was likely to be partly due to significant cerebellar defects.
