Abstract

Zebrafish lines expressing nitroreductase (NTR) in specific cell compartments, which sensitizes those cells to metronidazole (MTZ)-mediated ablation, have proven extremely useful for studying tissue regeneration and investigating cell function. In contrast to many cells, neutrophils are comparatively resistant to the NTR/MTZ targeted ablation strategy. Recently, a rationally engineered variant of NTR (NTR 2.0) has been described that exhibits greatly improved MTZ-mediated ablation efficacy in zebrafish. We show that a transgenic line with neutrophil-restricted expression of NTR 2.0 demonstrates complete neutrophil ablation, with an MTZ dose 100-fold less than current treatment regimens, and with treatment durations as short as 5 h.

一种快速完全消融中性粒细胞的转基因新品系。

斑马鱼细胞系在特定的细胞区室中表达硝基还原酶(NTR)，使这些细胞对甲硝唑(MTZ)介导的消融敏感，已被证明在研究组织再生和研究细胞功能方面非常有用。与许多细胞相比，中性粒细胞对NTR/MTZ靶向消融策略具有相对抗性。最近，一种合理设计的NTR变体(NTR 2.0)在斑马鱼中显示出极大改善的mtz介导的消融效果。我们发现，中性粒细胞限制性表达NTR 2.0的转基因细胞系显示中性粒细胞完全消融，MTZ剂量比当前治疗方案少100倍，治疗时间短至5小时。

期刊介绍： Zebrafish is the only peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the central role of zebrafish and other aquarium species as models for the study of vertebrate development, evolution, toxicology, and human disease. Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is a prime model for genetic and developmental studies. While genetically more distant from humans, the vertebrate zebrafish nevertheless has comparable organs and tissues, such as heart, kidney, pancreas, bones, and cartilage. Zebrafish introduced the new section TechnoFish, which highlights these innovations for the general zebrafish community. TechnoFish features two types of articles: TechnoFish Previews: Important, generally useful technical advances or valuable transgenic lines TechnoFish Methods: Brief descriptions of new methods, reagents, or transgenic lines that will be of widespread use in the zebrafish community Zebrafish coverage includes: Comparative genomics and evolution Molecular/cellular mechanisms of cell growth Genetic analysis of embryogenesis and disease Toxicological and infectious disease models Models for neurological disorders and aging New methods, tools, and experimental approaches Zebrafish also includes research with other aquarium species such as medaka, Fugu, and Xiphophorus.
