| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we aim to establish a conditional transgenic mice containing mutant GAPDH (C152A-GPDH), which inhibits oxidative stress-induced cell death mediated by GAPDH aggregation dominant negatively, and to investigate whether therapeutic benefits of C152A-GAPDH might be showedin vivo. As a result, we have succeeded two strains of mice in which the expression of C152A-GAPDH is under the control of a tetracycline-inducible system. And then, we are examining the possibility for therapeutic application of C152A-GAPDH on oxidative stress-induced disorders such as stroke model or methamphetamine-elicited Parkinson disease-like model using the established transgenic mice, compared to that of wild-type mice.
