Gene Summary

Model Description

The c-Myc gene (also known as Myc) is abnormally expressed in many tumors and plays a critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, growth and metabolism, gene instability, stimulation of angiogenesis, malignant transformation, cell differentiation and apoptosis. These mice harbor a loxP-flanked STOP cassette preventing transcription of a CAG promoter-driven Myc oncogene. The targeted mutation was inserted into the Hipp11(H11) locus by homologous recombination. Myc is expressed when bred to mice that express Cre recombinase.
Research Application:tumor-bearing model,cancer research

Validation Data

Using the Crispr technology, the conditional overexpression structure of CAG promoter-loxp-STOP-loxp-Myc-polyA was inserted into the H11 locus to generate an H11-LSL-Myc mouse model. Located on mouse chromosome 11, the H11 locus is similar to Rosa26 and can be used to express a wide range of exogenous genes. The Myc gene can be highly expressed in Cre-expressing tissues after mating the H11-LSL-Myc mice with Cre mice. 

For example: After mating H11-LSL-Myc mice with Alb-cre mice, a liver cancer can be spontaneously developed at 2 months old. This mouse model can be used in the establishment of tumor models and tumor research.
