Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A purpose of this research is to elucidate potential roles of histone methylation on cell cycle kinetics of neuronal progenitor cells. In detail, we have attempted to generate transgenic mice that would be capable of decreasing expression level of NSD1 protein, a causative protein for overgrowth syndrome Sotos syndrome, by applying RNA interference (RNAi) strategy in vivo. However, we were unable to obtain functional transgenic mouse lines during the research period, suggesting that RNAi might not be the appropriate method to generate the mice. We are planning to generate transgenic mouse lines using genome editing technique.
