摘要: Genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMMs) lacking diseased-associated gene(s) globally or in a tissue-specific manner represent an attractive tool with which to assess the efficacy and toxicity of targeted pharmacological inhibitors. Stat3 Stat5a/b transcription factors have been implicated several pathophysiological conditions, inhibition both has proposed treat certain diseases, such as malignancies. To model combined we developed GEMM harboring flox Stat3-Stat5a/b allele (Stat5/3loxP/loxP mice) generated mice hepatocytes (Stat5/3Δhep/Δhep). Stat5/3Δhep/Δhep exhibited marked reduction STAT3, STAT5A STAT5B proteins liver steatosis, phenotype that resembles hepatocytes. In addition, embryonic deletion (Stat5/3Δ/Δ resulted lethality, similar Stat3Δ/Δ mice. This data illustrates Stat5/3loxP/loxP are functional can be used valuable tumorigenesis other diseases.
