Embodiment 1

[0053] Establishment of knockout model of cytoskeleton-binding protein gene

[0054] 1. By constructing a gene targeting vector, see figure 1 ;

[0055] 2. Transfect embryonic liver cells (ES) with the above-mentioned vectors, and screen homologously recombined ES cell clones by Southern blot hybridization, see figure 2 ;

[0056] 3. Injecting the homologously recombined ES cells obtained in step (2) into blastocysts, implanting them into the uterus of pseudopregnant mice, and obtaining chimeric mice after the offspring are born;

[0057] 4. The chimeric mice were further mated to obtain the knockout mice of cytoskeleton binding protein WDR1.

Embodiment 2

[0059] Phenotypic Analysis of Cytoskeleton Binding Protein Knockout Mice

[0060] The WDR1 gene-deficient mice obtained in Example 1 had no obvious abnormalities at birth, and all died on the 14th day after birth; compared with wild-type control mice, the heart weight / body weight ratio of WDR1 gene knockout mice increased significantly ; Histological section staining analysis results showed that the heart of WDR1 gene knockout mice was significantly larger than that of wild-type control mice, see image 3

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a cytoskeleton binding protein WDR1 gene knockout non-human mammal model and application of the model. The invention also discloses a method for screening compounds for preventing and treating cardiomegaly by utilizing the cytoskeleton binding protein WDR1 gene knockout non-human mammal model and application of the WDR1 and upstream and downstream biological signal transduction accesses as medicine intervention target spots to treatment of cardiomegaly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of transgenic technology, and more specifically relates to the establishment and application of a cytoskeleton binding protein WDR1 gene knockout animal model. Background technique [0002] The protein encoded by the WDR1 gene is a WD repeat protein, which belongs to the WD40 repeat domain protein family. The WD40 repeat sequence is a structural motif consisting of about 30-40 amino acids, containing several conserved amino acid residues, mainly including tryptophan and aspartic acid residues (W-D) at the carbon termini. WD repeat protein is a class of proteins containing 4-16 WD repeat sequences, and it is a protein family that exists in all eukaryotes. The basic function of the members of this family is to act as a scaffold for the connection between proteins and play a coordinating role in the assembly of multiprotein complexes. Studies have shown that WDR1 protein can bind to the shredded protein / actin complex; ...
