Novel Caspase-Suicide Proteins for Tamoxifen-Inducible Apoptosis (2008)

Chu, Y. Y., Senghaas, N., Köster, R. W., Wurst, W., Kühn, R.

Taking advantage of a mutant estrogen receptor ligand binding domain (ER T), we developed novel Caspase fusion proteins for inducible apoptosis. We show that Caspase-ERT2 fusion proteins become...

TRANSGENIC OVEREXPRESSION OF CORTICOTROPIN RELEASING HORMONE PROVIDES PARTIAL PROTECTION AGAINST NEURODEGENERATION IN AN IN VIVO MODEL OF ACUTE EXCITOTOXIC STRESS (2008)

Hanstein, R., Lu, A., Wurst, W., Holsboer, F., Deussing, J. M., Clement, A. B., ...

Corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) is the central modulator of the mammalian hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis. In addition, CRH affects other processes in the brain including learning,...

Conditional mouse mutants highlight mechanisms of corticotropin-releasing hormone effects on stress-coping behavior (2008)

Lu, A., Steiner, M. A., Whittle, N., Vogl, A. M., Walser, S. M., Ableitner, M., ...

Hypersecretion of central corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of affective disorders. Both, basic and clinical studies suggested that disrupting CRH...

Differential disinhibition of the neonatal hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis in brain-specific CRH receptor 1-knockout mice (2006)

Schmidt, M.V., Deussing, J.M., Oitzl, M.S., Ohl, F., Levine, S., Wurst, W., ...

In the adult, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is the key mediator for the behavioural and neuroendocrine response to stress. It has also been hypothesized that, during postnatal development of...

The European dimension for the mouse genome mutagenesis program (2004)

Auwerx, J., Avner, P., Baldock, R., Ballabio, A., Balling, R., Barbacid, M., ...

The European Mouse Mutagenesis Consortium is the European initiative contributing to the international effort on functional annotation of the mouse genome. Its objectives are to establish and...

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and peripheral neuropathy in Ebf2-null mice (2003)

Corradi, A, Croci, L, Broccoli, V, Zecchini, S, Previtali, S, Wurst, W, ...

Olf/Ebf transcription factors have been implicated in numerous developmental processes, ranging from B-cell development to neuronal differentiation. We describe mice that carry a targeted deletion...

Miswiring of limbic thalamocortical projections in the absence of ephrin-A5 (2002)

Uziel, D, Mühlfriedel, S, Zarbalis, K, Wurst, W, Levitt, P, Bolz, J

Axon guidance cues of the ephrin ligand family have been hypothesized to regulate the formation of thalamocortical connections, but in vivo evidence for such a role has not been examined directly. To...

Molecular characterisation of antidepressant effects in the mouse brain using gene expression profiling (2002)

Landgrebe, J, Welzl, G, Metz, T, Van Gaalen, MM, Ropers, H, Wurst, W, ...

Antidepressants arc widely used for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety. Although they are efficient drugs. there are several unsolved questions regarding their...

Enhanced and delayed stress-induced alcohol drinking in mice lacking functional CRH1 receptors (2002)

Sillaber, I, Rammes, G, Zimmermann, S, Mahal, B, Zieglgänsberger, W, Wurst, W, ...

There is a relation between stress and alcohol drinking. We show that the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) system that mediates endocrine and behavioral responses to stress plays a role in the...

mPet-1, a mouse ETS-domain transcription factor, is expressed in central serotonergic neurons (2002)

Pfaar, H, Von Holst, A, Weisenhorn, DMV, Brodski, C, Guimera, J, Wurst, W

Here we describe the expression pattern of a previously unknown mouse gene mPet-1. The isolated cDNA codes for an ETS-domain transcription factor of 237 amino acids in length, which is localized to...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor type 1-deficiency enhances hippocampal serotonergic neurotransmission: An in vivo microdialysis study in mutant mice (2002)

Peñalva, RG, Flachskamm, C, Zimmermann, S, Wurst, W, Holsboer, F, Reul, JMHM, ...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone plays an important role in the coordination of various responses to stress. Previous research has implicated both corticotropin-releasing hormone and the serotonergic...

An induction gene trap screen in embryonic stem cells: Identification of genes that respond to retinoic acid in vitro.

Forrester, L M, Nagy, A, Sam, M, Watt, A, Stevenson, L, Bernstein, A, ...

We have developed a novel induction gene trap approach that preselects in vitro for integrations into genes that lie downstream of receptor/ligand-mediated signaling pathways. Using this approach, we...

The Nuclear Form of Phospholipid Hydroperoxide Glutathione Peroxidase Is a Protein Thiol Peroxidase Contributing to Sperm Chromatin Stability

Conrad, M., Moreno, S. G., Sinowatz, F., Ursini, F., Kölle, S., Roveri, A., ...

The selenoenzyme phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (PHGPx) is regarded as the major molecular target of selenodeficiency in rodents, accounting for most of the histopathological and...

A Large-Scale Gene-Trap Screen for Insertional Mutations in Developmentally Regulated Genes in Mice

Wurst, W., Rossant, J., Prideaux, V., Kownacka, M., Joyner, A., Hill, D. P., ...

We have used a gene-trap vector and mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to screen for insertional mutations in genes developmentally regulated at 8.5 days of embryogenesis (dpc). From 38,730 cell lines...
