Keratinocytes from Cox-2deltaE Cox-2flox/flox;K14Cre+) mice undergo effective targeted Cox-2 gene deletion. Keratinocyte were isolated from Cox-2deltaE and Cox-2flox/flox (Cox-2fl/fl) mice. Briefly, skin specimens isolated from 7-9 week old mice were treated with 3 mg/ml Dispase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 16 hrs at 4oC, and the epidermis was separated from the dermis. The isolated keratinocytes were plated on dishes containing keratinocyte serum-free medium. After seven days of culture, DNAs from the keratinocytes were extracted and the presence of the Cox-2fl, Cox-2del and Cre alleles were examined by PCR. PCR analysis demonstrates both the presence of the Cre+ and the Cox-2del alleles in Cox-2deltaE keratinocytes and the absence of the Cre+ allele and the presence of the Cox-2fl allele in Cox-2fl/fl keratinocytes.

Skin F4/80+ macrophage from Cox-2deltaM (Cox-2flox/flox;LysMCre+) mice undergo effective targeted Cox-2 gene deletion. Macrophages were isolated from the skin of 7-9 week old Cox-2deltaM and Cox-2fl/fl mice that were treated one time with TPA to induce COX-2 expression. Skin specimens were treated with 3 mg/ml Dispase for 16 hrs at 4oC; the epidermis was then separated from the dermis. The dermal layer was further digested, at 37 oC for 1.5 hrs, in RPMI1640 medium containing 1mg/ml collagenase I (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The dissociated cells were stained with PE-conjugated anti-F4/80 antibody, and F4/80+ cells were isolated by FACS. (A) FACS plots show, in red, the sorted F4/80+ populations from Cox-2deltaM and Cox-2fl/fl dissociated dermal layers. (B) DNAs from the isolated F4/80+ cell populations were extracted and the presence of the Cox-2fl, Cox-2del, and Cre alleles were examined by PCR. PCR analysis demonstrates the presence of both the Cre and the Cox-2del alleles in F4/80+ cells isolated from Cox-2deltaMmice. (C) Total RNA was isolated with an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), from sorted F4/80+ cell populations. RNAs were reverse transcribed into cDNA with SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System for qRT-PCR (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and quantitative PCR was done in the iQ thermal cycler (Bio-Rad) using the iQSYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad). Cox-2 forward primer: 5'-TGA TCGAAGACTACGTGCAA-3'; reverse primer: 5'-GTGAGTCCATGTTCCAGGAG-3'. The graph shows significantly decreased Cox-2 gene expression in F4/80+ Cox-2deltaM cells when compared to F4/80+ Cox-2fl/fl cells. β-Actin was used as the reference gene. Error bars are SD. * indicates p<0.05.

Papillomas developed on Cox-2deltaE mice have a significantly increased percentage of small vessels and a significantly decreased percentage of (medium-sized + large-sized) vessels when compared to papillomas from littermate control Cox-2fl/fl mice. Vessel size analysis was performed with the Definiens' Tissue Studio program to determine vessel sizes from papillomas (n = 9) from Cox-2deltaE mice, papillomas (n = 19) from their littermate Cox-2fl/fl mice, papillomas (n = 9) from Cox-2deltaM mice, and papillomas (n = 10) from their Cox-2fl/fl littermate mice. Parameters were set to distinguish small vessels (<100µm2), medium-sized vessels (100-1000µm2), and large vessels (>1000µm2). The graph shows the vessel size distribution of small, medium-sized and large vessels in papillomas from each of the four cohorts. The percentage of small vessels in papillomas of Cox-2deltaE mice was significantly increased when compared to the percentage of small vessels in papillomas of their Cox-2fl/fl littermates (p = 0.003), and the percentage of (medium-sized + large vessels) was correspondingly reduced (p = 0.002). In contrast, vessel size distribution did not differ for papillomas from Cox-2deltaM mice and their Cox-2fl/fl littermates. Data were analyzed using an unpaired Student's t test. Error bars are SD. * indicates p<0.05.
