Tg mice specifically overexpressing human myc-BMF in their RPTCs were generated using a similar strategy to that described previously20 (link),28 (link),49 (link). In brief, full-length human BMF cDNA fused with Myc-tag was inserted into pKAP2 plasmid at the NotI site. The plasmid pKAP2 containing the KAP promoter that is responsive to androgen was a gift from Dr. Curt D. Sigmund (University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA)50 (link).
Akita hnRNP F-Tg mice were generated by cross-breeding hnRNP F-Tg mice with heterozygous Akita (C57BL/6-Ins2 Akita/J) mice (Jackson Laboratory, Ann Harbor, ME) as previously described28 (link).
