Collection Summary: | To determine the role of FoxO transcription factors in muscle atrophy and increased autophagy in MIGIRKO mice, we crossed MIGIRKO (lacking IR and IGF1R) mice with mice in which FoxO1, FoxO3, and FoxO4 genes were floxed to delete all the major isoforms of FoxO expressed in muscle. Mice in which 5 separate genes — IR, Igf1r, FoxO1, FoxO3, and FoxO4 — were specifically deleted in muscle (muscle quintuple-knockout mice, hereafter referred to as QKO mice); were born in normal Mendelian ratios, and appeared normal both on external inspection and following dissection compared with littermate controls and with muscle FoxO1/3/4 triple-knockout mice (FoxO TKO). Streptozotocin (STZ) treated mice were used as a model of insulin deficient diabetes. |
