Enhanced purification of cell-permeant Cre and germline transmission after transduction into mouse embryonic stem cells (2007)
Peitz, Michael ; Jäger, Richard ; Patsch, Christoph ; Jäger, Andrea ; Egert, Angela ; Schorle, Hubert ; Edenhofer, Frank
Continuous expression of Cre recombinase has the potential to yield toxic side effects in various cell types, thereby limiting applications of the Cre/loxP system for conditional mutagenesis. In this study, we investigate the potential of Cre protein transduction to overcome this limitation. COS-7, CV1-5B, and mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells treated with cell-permeant Cre (HTNCre) maintain a normal growth behavior employing Cre concentrations sufficient to induce recombination in more than 90% of the cells, whereas continuous application of high doses resulted in markedly reduced proliferation. HTNCre-treated ES cells maintain a normal karyotype and are still able to contribute to the germline. Moreover, we present an enhanced HTNCre purification protocol that allows the preparation of a concentrated glycerol stock solution, thereby enabling a considerable simplification of the Cre protein transduction procedure. The protocol described here allows rapid and highly efficient conditional mutagenesis of cultured cells.
