A transgenic mouse model for the simultaneous monitoring of ANF and BNP gene activity during heart development and disease
8 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
AIM: The expression of Nppa (ANF) and Nppb (BNP) marks the chamber myocardium in the embryo, and both genes serve as early and accurate markers for hypertrophy and heart failure. Non-invasive visualization of Nppa-Nppb expression in living mice would enable to evaluate the disease state during the course of time in heart disease models. We sought to develop a method to assess the pattern and level of Nppa and...
