Research Abstract |
In order to visualize Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in vivo, I tried to develop a fluorescent probe for EMT by combination ofEMT-specific promoters and a Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) method. I showed that a BiFC method worked in vivo using LZA and LZB in cells. Moreover, I established an in vivo imaging system for mKO, mCherry, CFP and Venus in living mice. Finally, I screened EMT related promoters and showed that promoters for twist and snail are good candidate for the system.
