To study the function of gastric parietal cells during gastric epithelium homeostasis, we generated a transgenic mouse line, namely, Atp4b-Cre, in which the expression of Cre recombinase was controlled by a 1.0 kb promoter of mouse β-subunit of H^+-, K^+-ATPase gene (Atp4b). In order to test the tissue distribution and excision activity of Cre recombinase in vivo, the Atp4b-Cre transgenic mice were bred with the reporter strain ROSA26 and a mouse strain that carries Smad4 conditional alleles (Smad4Ca/Co). Multiple-tissue PCR of Atp4b-Cre;Smad4Co/+ mice revealed that the recombination only happened in the stomach. As indicated by LacZ staining, ROSA26;Atp4b-Cre double transgenic mice showed efficient expression of Cre recombinase within the gastric parietal cells. These results showed that this Atp4b-Cre mouse line could be used as a powerful tool to achieve conditional gene knockout in gastric parietal cells.展开更多
The stability constants of the binary ML2+ and ternary M(ATP)L2? complexes, where L=Iq (isoquinoline) or BIm (benzimidazole) and M=Zn2+ or Cd2+, have been determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution ...The stability constants of the binary ML2+ and ternary M(ATP)L2? complexes, where L=Iq (isoquinoline) or BIm (benzimidazole) and M=Zn2+ or Cd2+, have been determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution at I=0.1 mol/L (NaClO4), T=25°C. The stability of the ternary complexes characterized by ΔlogKM=logKM(ATP)LM(ATP)L- logKMML corresponding to the equilibrium M(ATP)2? + ML2+ = M(ATP)L2? + M2+ in higher than what would be expected on statistical grounds. The increase may be related to the stacking interaction between the aromatic ring of the ligands L and the purine moiety of ATP4–. 1H NMR studies of Zn2+/ATP4?/L confirm the presence of stacking in the ternary complexes. It is concluded that the strength of the intramolecular stacking interaction ia dependent on the structure of the aromatic ring of the ligand L and the formation of a metal ion bridge.
