ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • overexpression of Gsk3b in conditional transgenic mice results in hyperphosphorylation of tau and neurodegeneration
  • Gsk3b-deficient mice embryos show severe liver degeneration, a phenotype consistent with excessive tummor nercrosis factor
  • Xenopus dominant negative mutants induced dorsal differentiation
  • alterations of GSK3 profoundly affect neuronal morphology in culture
  • knockdown of both GSK3B markedly reduced axon growth in dissociated cultures
  • Homozygous null mice display cleft palate, incomplete fusion of the ribs at the midline and bifid sternum as well as delayed sternal ossification
  • Gsk3b knockin mice (Tph2) show a markedly reduced brain serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission production and behavioral abnormalities in tests assessing 5-HT-mediated emotional states
  • Gsk3b-/- mice exhibit hypertrophic cardiomyopathy secondary to cardiomyoblast hyperproliferation
  • concomitant loss of Gsk3a and Gsk3b in the oocyte significantly increased neonatal death rate due to congestive heart failur
