    Zinc finger protein 521 (ZFP521) regulates a number of cellular processes in a wide range of tissues, such as osteoblast formation and adipose commitment and differentiation. In the field of neurobiology, it is reported to be an essential factor for transition of epiblast stem cells into neural progenitors in vitro. However, the role of ZFP521 in the brain in vivo still remains elusive. To elucidate the role of ZFP521 in the mouse brain, we generated mice lacking exon 4 of the ZFP521 gene. The birth ratio of our ZFP521(Delta/Delta) mice was consistent with Mendel's laws. Although ZFP521(Delta/Delta) pups had no apparent defect in the body and were indistinguishable from ZFP521(+/+) and ZFP521(+/Delta) littermates at the time of birth, ZFP521(Delta/Delta) mice displayed significant weight reduction as they grew, and most of them died before 10 weeks of age. They displayed abnormal behavior, such as hyper-locomotion, lower anxiety and impaired learning, which correspond to the symptoms of schizophrenia. The border of the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus of the mice was indistinct and granular neurons were reduced in number. Furthermore, Sox1-positive neural progenitor cells in the dentate gyrus and cerebellum were significantly reduced in number. Taken together, these findings indicate that ZFP521 directly or indirectly affects the formation of the neuronal cell layers of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus, and thus ZFP521(Delta/Delta) mice displayed schizophrenia-relevant symptoms. ZFP521(Delta/Delta) mice may be a useful research tool as an animal model of schizophrenia.

    Aims: STAT3 is a key modulator of activation and differentiation of macrophages. But it is still unknown if deficiency of STAT3 activates macrophages to destroy erythrocytes by phagocytosis. We generated STAT3 conditional knockout mice by crossing foxed STAT3 mice with Tie2 promoter-driven Cre-recombinase transgenic mice and clarified that Stat3 plays a critical role in the formation and activation of macrophages.
    Main methods: Blood cell count, reticulocyte count, serum lactate dehydrogenase, erythropoietin, iron and ferritin concentration, and life span of the erythrocytes in Tie2 promoter-driven STAT3 conditional knockout mice were analyzed. To explore the erythropoietic function of the mice, we subjected them to brief hemolytic anemia by injecting them intraperitoneally with phenylhydrazine. The fragility of erythrocytes was examined by scanning electron microscopy and osmotic tolerance test.
    Key findings: The conditional knockout mice had mild normocytic anemia. They also displayed higher lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin and erythropoietin concentration, higher reticulocyte count, and a shorter lifespan of erythrocytes compared with wild-type controls. These data suggest that destruction of erythrocytes and secondary blood formation were accelerated in the STAT3 conditional knockout mice. It didn't appear due to the fragility of erythrocytes. A few of the conditional knockout mice suddenly developed acute severe anemia, high body temperature and massive splenomegaly, and died within 2 weeks after the onset of anemia.
    Significance: This study provided evidence that STAT3 have a critical role in the destruction of erythrocytes by resident macrophages in the spleen. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
