1. Experimental DesignHemizygous animals from stock 5493 were separated into 3 groups:No Doxycycline SupplementationDoxycycline in MediGel at 2mg/mlDoxycycline in Acidified 10% Sucrose Drinking WaterAnimals were given supplementation in home cage environment for 7 daysAnimals were sacrificed after 7 days and heart and kidney were stained for β-gal activity

Tissue samples following X-Gal staining were paraffin embedded, sectioned, and counterstained with Nuclear Fast Red. A: in the heart, reporter transgene expression is uniformly seen in the endocardium in both ventricles and over the tricuspid valves. B–D: small vessels and microvessels express the transgene in the cerebrum (B), lung (C), and within cardiac muscle (D). E: renal expression of the transgene in the afferent arteriole and glomerular capillaries. Note: because of the nuclear localization of the reporter ßGal, only endothelial cells whose nuclei are contained within the section are visualized.In the presence of tetracycline or a tetracycline analog (such as doxycycline), selective expression of beta-galactosidase is observed in the nuclei of vascular endothelium in a wide variety of tissues (aorta, heart, brain, lung, kidney, liver, spleen, uterus, prostate, stomach, skeletal muscle, large and small intestine). Expression is observed as early as embryonic day 9.5. In the absence of tetracycline, some beta-galactosidase expression occurs in the smaller branches of the aorta.Physiol Genomics. 2002 Oct 29;11(2):99-107.
