Characterization of mu opioid receptor cells in a new Oprm1-cre mouse

ABSTRACT: we derived, validated, and applied a novel MOR-specific Cre mouse line, inserting a T2A cleavable peptide sequence and the Cre coding sequence into the MOR 3’UTR. Importantly, this line shows specificity and fidelity of MOR expression throughout the brain and with respect to function, there were no differences in behavioral responses to morphine when compared to wild type mice, nor are there any alterations in Oprm1 gene expression or receptor density. To assess Cre recombinase activity, MOR-Cre mice were crossed with the floxed GFP-reporters, RosaLSLSun1-sfGFP or RosaLSL-GFP-L10a. The latter allowed for cell type specific RNA sequencing via TRAP (Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification) of striatal MOR+ neurons following opioid withdrawal.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with an abrupt loss of kidney function that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Considerable effort has focused around the identification of diagnostic biomarkers and the analysis of molecular events. Most studies have adopted organ-wide approaches that do not fully capture the interplay among different cell types in the pathophysiology of AKI. To extend our understanding of molecular and cellular events in AKI, we developed a mouse line that enables the identification of translational profiles in specific cell types by CRE recombinase-dependent activation of an eGFP-tagged L10a ribosomal protein subunit, and consequently, translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) of mRNA populations. By utilizing cell-type specific CRE-driver lines, in this study we identify distinct cellular responses in an ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model of AKI. Cell-specific translational expression profiles were uncovered 24 hours after IRI from four populations enriched for distinct anatomical and cellular subgroups: nephron, interstitial cell populations, vascular endothelium, and macrophages/monocytes by Affymetrix microarray. A construct containing the CAGGS promoter driving eGFP-L10a, with a loxP-site flanked triple SV40 polyA cassette between promoter and eGFP-L10a cassette was targeted into the ubiquitously active Rosa26 locus. The upstream polyA cassette is designed to block activity of the downstream eGFP-L10a cassette. CRE-dependent removal of this transcriptional block activates eGFP::L10a production within the CRE-producing cell, and all of its descendants. Mice carrying the conditional eGFP-L10a allele, referred to as L10a, were maintained in a homozygous state. L10a mice were crossed to four CRE strains to activate eGFP::L10a expression in four predominantly non-overlapping cellular compartments in the kidney. A Six2-Tet-GFP::CRE allele is active exclusively within nephron progenitors; consequently, historical labeling results in eGFP::L10a expression throughout the main body of the nephron. A Foxd1-GFP::CRE allele is active in the progenitors of many of the interstitial cell lineages including those generating mesangial and non-glomerular pericytes. In addition, Foxd1 is normally expressed in podocytes. Cdh5-CRE is reported to be active throughout the vascular endothelium, and finally, Lyz2-CRE specifically labels cells of the myeloid lineage, notably macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells. Mice carrying any CRE allele and the L10a allele are designated generically CRE-L10a. six2-L10a, foxd1-L10a, cdh5-L10a and lyz2-L10a denote specifically mice that are compound heterozygotes for the indicated CRE driver and L10a. CRE-L10a, L10a heterozygous littermates without CRE allele, C57BL/6 wild type mice were subjected to renal bilateral warm ischemia 28 minutes followed by 24-hour reperfusion when the kidney TRAP RNA and total RNA were isolated and subjected to Affymetrix microarray. Biological triplicates for each CRE-L10a line underwent no Surgery; sham Surgery and IRI treatment.
