The invention relates to a construction method and application of a conditional
knockout mouse model for studying the influence of a CLCF1
gene on
cortical bone development. GRNA, Cas9 mRNA and a targeting vector are microinjected into a fertilized egg of a C57BL / 6J mouse, the fertilized egg after injection is transplanted to a pseudo-
pregnant female mouse, and an F0-generation mouse is produced; the method comprises the following steps: hybridizing a positive F0 generation mouse which is subjected to correct
homologous recombination at a
target site of the CLCF1
gene with a
wild type mouse to obtain a flox heterozygote mouse of the CLCF1
gene; the CLCF1 gene flox heterozygote mice are subjected to mutual
mating, and CLCF1 gene flox homozygote mice are obtained; a CLCF1 gene flox homozygote mouse and a Cd68-Cre tool mouse are subjected to
mating, a mouse with the
genotype of CLCF1flox / flox and carrying Cd68-Cre is obtained, and the mouse is the target CLCF1 conditional
gene knockout mouse model. The CLCF1 conditional
gene knockout mouse model disclosed by the invention is a powerful tool for researching functions of the CLCF1 gene. Meanwhile, the model also lays a
solid foundation for simulating skeletal
system diseases and screening prevention and treatment drugs for
bone mass reduction, skeletal
atrophy or
dysplasia, and provides an important experimental platform.
