Genetic Alterations
Exon 1 and half of exon 2 of the Ccn1 gene were replaced by a DNA cassette containing the Cyr61 promoter, the dm (apoptosis defective mutant allele) open reading frame (containing the signal sequence, IGFBP, VWC, variable, TSP, and CT domains with H1 and H2 sites of Cyr61), and a neo cassette. The dm open reading frame is defective in apoptotic synergism with TNFalpha. Seven lysines and one arginine in the H1 and H2 sites of CCN1 were changed to alanine, abolishing CCN1 binding to integrin α6β1 and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (PMID:15322081). Genetic alteration information at the nucleic acid level is unavailable.

Phenotype
This knock-in replaces the Ccn1 gene with a mutant allele with mutations that abrogate CCN1 binding to integrin α6β1. Ccn1-DM/DM mice are viable and fertile. They do not have obvious phenotypes in homeostasis, but upon injury, they exhibit a broad range of defects in injury repair and tissue regeneration.

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
