Abstract

Maintenance of calcium homeostasis is important for proper endoplasmic reticulum (ER) function. When cellular stress conditions deplete the high concentration of calcium in the ER, ER-resident proteins are secreted into the extracellular space in a process called exodosis. Monitoring exodosis provides insight into changes in ER homeostasis and proteostasis resulting from cellular stress associated with ER calcium dysregulation. To monitor cell-type specific exodosis in the intact animal, we created a transgenic mouse line with a Gaussia luciferase (GLuc)-based, secreted ER calcium-modulated protein, SERCaMP, preceded by a LoxP-STOP-LoxP (LSL) sequence. The Cre-dependent LSL-SERCaMP mice were crossed with albumin (Alb)-Cre and dopamine transporter (DAT)-Cre mouse lines. GLuc-SERCaMP expression was characterized in mouse organs and extracellular fluids, and the secretion of GLuc-SERCaMP in response to cellular stress was monitored following pharmacological depletion of ER calcium. In LSL-SERCaMP × Alb-Cre mice, robust GLuc activity was observed only in the liver and blood, whereas in LSL-SERCaMP × DAT-Cre mice, GLuc activity was seen in midbrain dopaminergic neurons and tissue samples innervated by dopaminergic projections. After calcium depletion, we saw increased GLuc signal in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid collected from the Alb-Cre and DAT-Cre crosses, respectively. This mouse model can be used to investigate the secretion of ER-resident proteins from specific cell and tissue types during disease pathogenesis and may aid in the identification of therapeutics and biomarkers of disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 May 2023.
All research outputs
#14,511,309
of 23,685,936 outputs
Outputs from Transgenic Research
#703
of 911 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#94,759
of 212,355 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Transgenic Research
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,685,936 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 911 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 212,355 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
