| مستخلص: | In mammals, sexual fate is determined by the chromosomes of the male and female gametes during fertilization. Males (XY) or females (XX) are produced when a sperm containing a Y or X-chromosome respectively fertilizes an X-chromosome-containing unfertilized egg. However, sexing of preimplantation stage embryos cannot be conducted visually. To address this, transgenic male mouse models with the ubiquitously expressed green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene on X- (X-GFP) or Y-chromosomes (Y-GFP) have been established. However, when crossed with wild-type females, sexing of the preimplantation stage embryos by observing the GFP signal is problematic in some cases due to X-inactivation, loss of Y-chromosome (LOY), or loss of transgene fluorescence. In this study, a mouse model with the ubiquitously expressed red fluorescent protein (RFP) transgene on the Y-chromosome was generated since RFP is easily distinguishable from GFP signals. Unfortunately, the ubiquitously expressed tdTomato RFP transgene on the Y-chromosome (Y-RFP) mouse showed the lethal phenotype after birth. No lethal phenotypes were observed when the mitochondrial locating signal N-terminal of tdTomato (mtRFP) was included in the transgene construct. Almost half of the collected fertilized eggs from Y-mtRFP male mice crossed with wild-type females had an RFP signal at the preimplantation stage (E1.5). Therefore, XY eggs were recognized as RFP-positive embryos at the preimplantation stage. Furthermore, 100% sexing was observed at the preimplantation stage using the X-linked GFP/Y-linked RFP male mouse. The established Y-mtRFP mouse models may be used to study sex chromosome related research. journal article |
