Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations of cardiac troponin C (cTnC) can cause dilated cardiomyopathy in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS: Plasmids were constructed such that the reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA) was driven by the cardiac myosin light chain 2 promoter. This heart-specific rtTA bound another bidirectional promoter to express the green fluorescence protein reporter gene and the antisense RNA of cTnC...
