The application belongs to the technical field of
biology and particularly relates to a construction method of a Cyp11b2-P2A-CreERT2
gene knock-in mouse model and application thereof. The construction method comprises the following steps: introducing a
CRISPR / Cas9
system and a
homologous recombination donor vector into a mouse
zygote, then
transplanting the
zygote into a pseudopregnant female mouse, and waiting for the female mouse to become pregnant and give birth to a baby; F0 generation of the recipient mouse is born, the
genotype is confirmed, and after the positive F0 generation mouse matures, the mouse is mated with a wild-type background mouse to generate F1 generation, the
genotype is confirmed, and the obtained heterozygote is the Cyp11b2-P2A-CreERT2
gene knock-in mouse model. The mouse model constructed by the construction method can realize specific expression of Cre in adrenal glomerular zone, is time and space controllable and has no off-target, the P2
A peptide guarantees normal expression of the
gene independently, the traditional model defects are avoided, the mouse model is stable, repeatable, and can be used for
aldosterone-related mechanism research and
drug screening.
