We determined the expression pattern of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP) in the development of the mouse embryo using in situ hybridization and transgenesis. To define the sequences regulating TIMP expression, we generated transgenic mice that expressed the Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase gene under control of a 5’ region of the mouse TIMP gene containing-2158 to-58 by upstream of the initiator ATG. 3, record 1, English, - transgenesis

L'introduction d'un gène étranger dans le patrimoine héréditaire d'un individu définit la transgénèse. Différentes techniques sont utilisées chez les mammifères pour y parvenir. Les deux premières ne permettent pas, à elles seules, de choisir l'endroit où le transgène s'intégrera. Il s'agit : (1) de la micro-injection dans l'œuf, qui permet d'introduire de grands fragments d'ADN exogène; (2) des rétrovirus recombinants défectifs qui permettent d'intégrer avec une fréquence élevée des fragments d'ADN dont la taille est cependant limitée par la place disponible dans la capside du rétrovirus. 3, record 1, French, - transg%C3%A9n%C3%A8se

It was initially unknown whether human somatic transgenesis would be safe, whether the transduced genes would be(durably) expressed, and whether the transduction process would affect natural cell properties. 1, record 2, English, - human%20somatic%20transgenesis

Historiquement, ce sont les vecteurs rétroviraux qui ont ouvert la voie à la transgénèse somatique chez l'homme. Depuis le premier essai clinique autorisé à l'équipe de Rosenberg (USA) en 1989, les vecteurs rétroviraux, presque toujours fondés sur le virus de la leucémie murine de Moloney (Mo-MuLV), restent employés dans les trois-quarts des protocoles actuels. 1, record 2, French, - transg%C3%A9n%C3%A8se%20somatique%20humaine

L'approche initiale, qui reste aujourd'hui majoritaire, est la transgénèse ex vivo. Dans ce cas, les cellules du patient, de son jumeau, ou bien d'origine allogène sont cultivées in vitro puis le gène d'intérêt y est transféré. Elles sont ensuite réimplantées par injection intraveineuse ou par greffe de moelle osseuse dans deux protocoles sur trois - opérations qui traduisent en fait la prédominance des cellules sanguines comme cibles de la transgénèse. 1, record 3, French, - transg%C3%A9n%C3%A8se%20ex%20vivo
