Vascular smooth muscle selective deletion of Srf

ABSTRACT: Previous efforts to conditionally delete the Srf transcription factor in smooth muscle lineages were met with early demise of the mouse due to a gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction phenotype. We have developed a new, more VSMC selective Cre recombinase mouse (Itga8-CreERT2), that circumvents the GI phenotype thus affording the opportunity to evaluate, in an unambiguous manner, VSMC phenotypes where Srf is reduced. The mice live for at least 6 months post-tamoxifen and here we report the first RNA-seq experiments in mouse aortic SMC where Srf is reduced.
