Résumé
Somatostatin (SST) and cholecystokinin (CCK) are peptide hormones that regulate the endocrine system, cell proliferation and neurotransmission. We utilized the novel Easi-CRISPR system to generate two knock-in mouse strains with Cre recombinase in SST- and CCK-expressing cells and validated their utility in the developing and adult brain tissues. The full nomenclature for the newly generated strains are C57BL/6-Sst Knock-in mouse models to study cell types that produce these critically important molecules are limited to date. The knock-in mice we generated can be used as reporters to study development, physiology, or pathophysiology of SST and CCK expressing cells - without interference with native expression of SST and CCK. In addition, they can be used as Cre driver models to conditionally delete floxed genes in SST and CCK expressing cells across various tissues. These two mouse models serve as valuable tools for in vitro and in vivo research studies related to SST and CCK biology across the lifespan and across different tissue types.

BACKGROUND
Somatostatin (SST) and cholecystokinin (CCK) are peptide hormones that regulate the endocrine system, cell proliferation and neurotransmission.
NEW METHOD
We utilized the novel Easi-CRISPR system to generate two knock-in mouse strains with Cre recombinase in SST- and CCK-expressing cells and validated their utility in the developing and adult brain tissues.
RESULTS
The full nomenclature for the newly generated strains are C57BL/6-Sst
COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS
Knock-in mouse models to study cell types that produce these critically important molecules are limited to date. The knock-in mice we generated can be used as reporters to study development, physiology, or pathophysiology of SST and CCK expressing cells - without interference with native expression of SST and CCK. In addition, they can be used as Cre driver models to conditionally delete floxed genes in SST and CCK expressing cells across various tissues.
CONCLUSIONS
These two mouse models serve as valuable tools for in vitro and in vivo research studies related to SST and CCK biology across the lifespan and across different tissue types.
