ABSTRACT
Aim To generate the mouse FoxGl overexpression in the specific brain region based on App/psl mice. Methods A FoxGl transgenic mouse line CAG-loxp-stop-loxp-FoxG1-IRES-EGFP was introduced from Southeast University. By crossing B6; 129-5-HT1Btml(CreERT)Cre with this line, we generated a transgenic mouse line Cre; FoxGl. By crossing App/ps1 with this line, combined with tamoxifen induction, FoxG1 was ectopically expressed in the cortex, striatum and hippocampus in app/ ps1 mice. Results The offspring of the mice over expression of FoxGl in the specific brain region of App/ps1 mice were successful in generation. Conclusions FoxG1 overexpression mice in Alzheimer's Disease brain region is obtained by using reasonable gene recombination, providing new model into the mechanism underlying the Alzheimer's disease related with FoxG1.
