Abstract：
:Previous studies demonstrated that 9 kb of the rat tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) 5' flanking sequence directed appropriate spatiotemporal expression of a lacZ reporter gene to catecholaminergic cells in the CNS of transgenic mice. In the present study, specificity of transgene expression was further extended to demonstrate cell type-specific functional regulation of lacZ expression using manipulations known to alter endogenous TH expression. Alterations in lacZ reporter expression should parallel changes in endogenous TH levels if the DNA elements mediating these functional changes of TH expression in vivo reside within the 9 kb of the TH promoter region. Naris closure induced an activity-dependent decrease of TH expression in dopaminergic periglomerular cells in the olfactory bulb that was paralleled by down-regulation of lacZ expression in the transgenic mice. Densitometry and image analysis were used to quantify lacZ expression following acute reserpine administration (5 mg/kg s.c.), which up-regulates endogenous TH. At 48 h postinjection, analysis of OD values indicated a significant increase of X-gal staining in the locus coeruleus and ventral tegmental area but not in the substantia nigra or olfactory bulb of reserpine-treated transgenic animals. These data showed that the 9-kb sequence also mediates cell type-specific transsynaptic regulation of reporter gene expression. Analysis of this transgenic animal offers a useful model system to study in vivo regulation of TH gene expression.
