Abstract
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA), the DNA in the blood circulation, is a useful marker for diagnosing hereditary diseases and tumors. However, the mechanisms underlying the generation of cfDNA are not completely understood. We previously studied DNases [Caspase-activated DNase (CAD), DNase1L3, and DNase I] and reported that in acetaminophen-induced liver necrosis, DNase1L3 was the main endonuclease generating cfDNA, with CAD playing a supporting role. In this study, we generated triple-gene knockout (TKO) mice, Cad-/-DNase1L3-/-DNase1-/-, and found that DNase I also contributed to cfDNA generation. Given that a defect in DNase1L3 or DNase I is involved in autoimmune diseases, TKO mice would be useful as a disease model and tool for identifying the in vivo roles of endonucleases.
期刊介绍:
JVMS is a peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of papers on veterinary science from basic research to applied science and clinical research. JVMS is published monthly and consists of twelve issues per year. Papers are from the areas of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, virology, parasitology, internal medicine, surgery, clinical pathology, theriogenology, avian disease, public health, ethology, and laboratory animal science. Although JVMS has played a role in publishing the scientific achievements of Japanese researchers and clinicians for many years, it now also accepts papers submitted from all over the world.
