- The mouse model of Neurofibromatosis, in which the disease gene, Nf1, has been “knocked-out”, demonstrates embryonically lethal cardiovascular defects in the homozygous mutant state. They die in mid-gestation from a series of cardiovascular defects, arising in large part from defects involving endothelial tissues. The cardiovascular failure, demonstrated by the large pericardial effusion in panel B (*), is a manifestation of this series of defects. Most notable from among these abnormalities are enlarged endocardial cushions resulting from abnormal endothelial to mesenchymal transformation, (dashed line, panel B), ventricular septal defects (arrows, panel D) and malrotation of the cardiac outflow tract, and a thinned, non-compacted ventricular myocardium (arrowheads, panel F).
- NF1 encodes neurofibromin, a large protein expressed ubiquitously throughout development. The bulk of neurofibromin is of unknown function, but a small domain, known as the GAP-related domain (or GRD) shares homology with several Ras-GTPase activating proteins, or GAPs. GAPs downregulate the activity of Ras protooncogenes.
- We constructed a “knock-in” mouse in which a cre-dependant NF1 GRD is knocked into the Rosa26 locus. In this construct, the GRD is preceded by a STOP signal flanked by loxP sites. DNA sequences between loxP sites are removed by cre-recombinase activity. This “floxed” STOP sequence would prevent the expression of the NF1 GRD, except if removed by cre. In this set of experiments, mice expressing cre ubiquitously (under the control of a CMV promoter) would have global expression of the GRD protein throughout development.
