Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals were kept in a 12-hour light-dark cycle with food and water ad libitum. The generation and genotyping of our Exoc5f/f (aka Sec10) mice have been described previously13 (link). The conditional Exoc5 knockout mice were generated by crossing Exoc5f/f with Nfatc1Cre(+) (a kind gift from Dr. Bin Zhou) and Tie2Cre(+) mice (Jackson Laboratories), and are designated as NfatC1Cre(+);Exoc5f/+, NfatC1Cre(+);Exoc5f/f, Tie2Cre(+);Exoc5f/+, and Tie2Cre(+);Exoc5f/f in the manuscript. Genotyping was performed by Transnetyx or inhouse with the KAPA Mouse Genotyping Kit (Kapabiosystems, #KK7301).

Snail1 Regulation of Vascular Development

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were housed under standard condition and protocols approved by the University Committee on Use and Care of Animals (UCUCA). Mice carrying Snail1 alleles 17 (link) and mice with Snail1-LacZ knock-in alleles 23 (link) were generated and maintained in our laboratory. Tie2-Cre, Vav1-Cre, Dermo1-Cre and β-actin-GFP transgenic mice were obtained from Jackson Laboratory. VE-cadherin-Cre ERT2 transgenic mice were provided by ML Iruela-Arispe (University of California, Los Angeles) 66 (link). Littermate controls of both sexes were used in all experiments. All mouse strains were backcrossed into the C57BL/6J background for at least 7 generations. To inhibit Notch signaling in vivo, timed pregnant mice were injected subcutaneously with 100 mg/kg DAPT (Tocris Bioscience) dissolved in 10% ethanol and 90% corn oil at E7.5, E8.5 and E9.5 with the embryos dissected at E10.5 6 (link). Gene inactivation in Snail1LacZ/fl;VE-cadherin-Cre-ERT2+ embryos was triggered by i.p. injections of 150 μl of tamoxifen solution (10 mg/ml, dissolved in 1:10 ethanol/corn oil; Sigma) into pregnant females at E11.5 and E13.5. Gene inactivation in pups was triggered by i.p. injections of 50 μl tamoxifen solution (10 mg/ml) at p1 and p3. Eyes were retrieved from pups at p6 and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde-PBS overnight at 4°C. Retinas were dissected and subjected to whole-mount PECAM-1.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lrp5-/- [42 (link)] and Lrp5a214v(neo)/+ [21 (link)] mice were generated as described. Lrp5fl/fl and Lrp6fl/fl [22 (link)], Flk1Breier-Cre [30 (link)], Rx-Cre [23 (link)] and CD11b-Cre [29 (link)] mice were kindly provided by Drs. Bart O. William, Kevin P. Campbell, Eric Swindell and Roland Baron, respectively. VE-Cad-Cre [24 (link)], Tie2-Cre [25 (link)], LysM-Cre [28 (link)] and tdTomato [27 (link)] mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. Flk1Breier-Cre, Rx-Cre, CD11b-Cre, VE-Cad-Cre and Tie2-Cre mice were all transgenic lines generated by fusing the Cre gene to a fragment of the promoter sequence of Flk1, Rx, CD11b, VE-Cad and Tie2, respectively. LysM-Cre mice were knock-ins, generated by targeted insertion of the Cre cDNA into the endogenous M lysozyme locus. When animals from different genetic backgrounds were crossed, littermate controls were used to avoid confounding effects.

All animal work was performed in compliance with Imperial College animal ethics guidelines according to the UK Home Office's Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. The Bambiflox/flox and Bambi−/− mice backcrossed on a C57BL/6 background (>10 generations) have been described previously.32, 34 To generate endothelial Bambi knock‐out mice, Tie2‐Cre [Jackson Laboratory no 008863 B6.Cg‐Tg(Tek‐cre)1Ywa/J] males were crossed with Bambiflox/flox female mice. Bambiflox/+Tie2‐Cre+ males were further bred with Bambiflox/flox female mice to generate Bambiflox/floxTie2‐Cre+ mice. Genotyping of Bambiflox/flox and Bambi−/− have been previously described.32, 34 For the detection of the Cre allele the following primers (FW: GCCTGCATTACCGGTCGATGCAACGA and R: GTGGCAGATGGCGCGGCAACACCATT) were used.

Transgenic Mice for Cell-Specific TNAP Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transgenic mice expressing Cre-recombinase driven by the Tagln or Tie2 gene promoters (Tagln-Cre and Tie2-Cre respectively) were obtained from the The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME).
Tagln-Cre mice (aka SM22-Cre), express Cre recombinase driven by a smooth muscle cell-specific promoter. Strong expression of Cre in the vascular media was observed, but not in the endothelium during embryogenesis.(11 (link),14 (link),15 (link)) The Tie2-Cre mouse line expresses Cre recombinase driven by an endothelial cell (EC)-specific promoter/enhancer.(16 (link))HprtALPL knock-in mice were generated by GenOway (Lyon, France) using their proprietary “Quick Knock-in™” technology.(16 (link))The crossbreeding of the Cre-expressing animals with the HprtALPL mice results in excision of the stop cassette and transgene expression. Homozygous Tagln-Cre or heterozygous Tie2-Cre male mice were bred with homozygous female HprtALPL mice to produce mice expressing TNAP in VSMCs or ECs respectively.(11 (link))This work was conducted with approval of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees of Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, La Jolla, CA, for all animal studies.

Tie2-Cre;Baf155 CKO Mice Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tie2-Cre;Baf155 CKO mice were obtained by first crossing Tie2-Cre (Stock No: 4128, Jackson Labs) males (2–3 months old) to Baf155f/f (Choi et al., 2012 (link)) females (2–3 months old) to generate Tie2-cre; Baf155f/+ mice. Next, timed matings using Tie2-Cre; Baf155f/+ males (2–8 months old) and Baf155f/f females (2–3 months old) were set up in the evening and females checked for vaginal plugs the following morning (12pm = E0.5). Females were separated from males and housed in the animal barrier until the desired time point. Females were euthanized using CO2 asphyxiation and uteri removed for embryo collection. Embryos and collected tissue were kept on ice in PBS with 10% FBS until processed for analysis. Wild-type (WT) littermates were used as controls. Animal husbandry, generation, and handling were performed in accordance with protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animal experiments were performed under protocols approved by the Boston Children's Hospital Animal Care and Use Committee (protocols 13-08-2460R and 13-12-2601). Ep300fb mice were generated by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. Targeted ESCs were used to generate a mouse line, which was bred to homozygosity. This line has been donated to Jackson labs (Jax 025980). The Rosa26fsBirA allele was derived from the previously described Rosa26fsTRAP mouse (Zhou et al., 2013 (link)) (Jax 022367) by removal of the frt-TRAP-frt cassette using germline Flp recombination. The Rosa26BirA (Driegen et al., 2005 (link)) (constitutive; Jackson Labs 010920), Tie2Cre (Kisanuki et al., 2001 (link)) (Jackson Labs 008863), Myf5Cre (Tallquist et al., 2000 (link)) (Jackson Labs 007893), EIIaCre (Williams-Simons and Westphal, 1999 (link)) (Jackson Labs 003724), Rosa26mTmG (Muzumdar et al., 2007 (link)) (Jackson Labs 007576) and VEcad-CreERT2 (Sörensen et al., 2009 (link)) (Taconic 13073) lines were described previously.

Mice were bred and maintained at the Stanford University Research Animal
Facility in accordance with Stanford University guidelines. All the animals were
housed in sterile micro-insulators and given water and rodent chow ad libitum.
En1Cre, Wnt1Cre,
Sox9Cre,
Tie2Cre, K5Cre,
K14Cre,
RAG-2–/–,
FVB, R26tm1(HBEGF)Awai, and
CAG-luc-eGFP L2G85 strains were obtained from Jackson
laboratories. The ROSA26mTmG(R26mTmG) reporter mice, which harbor a
double-fluorescent reporter that permanently replaces the expression of
membrane-bound tomato red fluorescent protein (RFP) with membrane-bound GFP
after recombination (10 (link)), were a gift
from L. Luo (Stanford University). En1Cre transgenic
mice were crossed with R26mTmG reporter mice (Fig. 1A).
En1Cre;R26mTmGoffspring were used to trace En1-lineage–positive
fibroblasts (EPFs), defined in vivo by their GFP positivity, into the dorsal
dermis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
