The only pathology found in insulin promoter-driven transgenic mice was a beta cell tumor seen in insulin-promoted Py large T antigen-carrying mice.

Analysis of tissue DNAs shows that the methylation status of the promoter sequences varies from strain to strain, depending on their chromosomal position, and that some CpG sites in the proximal portion of the promoter are not methylated at all in the liver and kidney of two strains.

Transgenic animals are produced when DNA becomes integrated into the chromosomes, in most cases the transgenic genotype is transmitted to progeny through the germ line. The characteristics of the foreign DNA include tandem arrangement of multiple copies of the input DNA, predominantly in direct rather than inverted orientation, and illegitimate recombination with the chromosome at the site of integration. Foreign DNA integrated into chromosomes of cultured cells has identical characteristics. We argue that these and other similarities between the integration of foreign DNA into the chromosomes of microinjected embryos on the one hand and on the other of transfected and microinjected cells, strongly suggest that the processes have the same basis. By considering mainly the literature relating to cell transfection and microinjection, we conclude that tandemly arranged concatemers of input foreign DNA are built up by a process of homologous but non-conservative recombination. End-joining and illegitimate recombination events characterize the integration of the concatemers into the chromosome, and also contribute to the formation of the concatemers. We also suggest that these superficially different processes are based on the same opportunistic repair-ligation mechanism; the frequencies of the different types of event reflect both the frequencies with which different sorts of association occur between DNA molecules and their relative stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":77573,"journal":{"name":"Molecular biology & medicine","volume":"6 4","pages":"283-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13837361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All these tests suggested that human serum albumin is a constituent of h-LGF. Moreover, when albumin isolated from humans without hepatic pathology is incubated with bilirubin, the albumin-bilirubin complex formed mimics the activity of the human liver growth factor with respect to stimulation of DNA synthesis and the effects on the mitotic index of mouse hepatocytes in vivo.
