Experiment

Effect of Tbr2 mutation on voluntary running (circadian rhythm) in response to a
standard (6:00/18:00) vs jet lag (9:00/21:00) light cycle.
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Feldheim, David
Description Previous studies indicate that T-box transcription factor Tbr2 is required for
the development of several retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types that participate in
non-image-forming circuits. This includes intrinsically photosensitive RGC
(ipRGC) that are known to be involved in behaviors such as day/night activity
cycles. However,there is little information on how disruption of Tbr2 in an
adult animal alters the circadian response to various light/dark cycles. The
purpose of this study is to determine how TBR2 cond KO voluntary running
activity response to alteration of light-dark cycle’s compares to control mice.

TBR2 was conditionally knocked out at 1 month of age by IP tamoxifen injection
(experimental group), controls were injected with saline. All mice had running
activity assessed at standard light dark cycle (600:1800, Circadian rhythm was
not disrupted) and jet lag (900:2100, Circadian rhythm disrupted).
