三个近交系C57BL/6J小鼠群体微卫星遗传变异分析(英文）

应用微卫星遗传标记对近交系C57BL/6J(B6)小鼠遗传稳定性进行分析。用FAM标记的引物PCR扩增了来自北京和上海三个实验动物生产单位提供的三个B6小鼠群体共15个微卫星位点并进行分型。结果显示,所有位点均处于纯合状态,其中7个位点为多态位点。研究表明各B6群体虽然为高度近交群体,但不同生产单位维持的B6群体之间存在遗传分化。     

C57BL／6J小鼠ES细胞系的建立及其特性分析

本文报道从C57BL/6J个鼠的囊胚中,建立了三个ES细胞系MESPU17,MESPU18,MESPU19。这些细胞的细胞学特征和强AKP反应,表明这三个细胞系具有干细胞的特征。这三个细胞系均为XY型,正常二倍体核型分别占70％、88％和59％。体外分化可形成简单类胚,体内分化可形成瘤块。与国际上通用的CCE和来自129/ter的ES细胞MESPU13相比,这三个细胞系的ES细胞较大;在体外培养时,生长较慢;细胞也较粘,进行显微注射时,很容易粘在注射针壁上。MESPU17,MESPU18进行了嵌合体制作,以BALB/c和昆明鼠的囊胚为受体,采用囊胚注射法未获嵌合体,但使用昆阴鼠的8细胞胚注射法和共培养法得到嵌合体。

不同方法建立C57BL/6J小鼠抑郁症模型的探讨

目的用不同方法建立C57BL/6J小鼠抑郁症模型,为探讨GalR蛋白对小鼠抑郁症的治疗作用打下基础。方法 C57BL/6J小鼠经体重、敞箱实验及反抗抓获实验初筛后,随机分为4组:Ⅰ.CUMS组,Ⅱ.CUMS+CORT组,Ⅲ.CORT组,Ⅳ.正常对照组。每天记录小鼠体重及摄食量。28d后进行液体消耗及强迫游泳实验测试。结果小鼠抑郁模型在第28d建立成功。Ⅱ组小鼠短期内体重迅速下降并死亡。与Ⅰ组小鼠相比,Ⅲ组小鼠液体消耗和强迫游泳实验指标改变更明显。结论成功建立C57BL/6J小鼠抑郁症模型。CUMS和CORT模型结合,小鼠不能耐受,短期内死亡。单独CORT模型造模效果要优于CUMS模型。在后续试验中,将用CORT法建立C57BL/6J小鼠抑郁症模型。

目的观察慢性应激对C57BL/6J小鼠行为和血液中血脂的影响。方法将20~25 g雄性C57BL/6J小鼠分成应激组及相应的对照组。应激组小鼠独笼饲养,将6个日相和6个夜相刺激及1个全天刺激随机安排到1周内,每周刺激顺序随机重新组合,连续8周。对照组动物则每5~6只小鼠合笼饲养,自由给水,整个实验过程中不接受任何刺激。2组动物均于刺激后的1、2、4和8周经内眦取血,用于血脂的检测。结果行为学实验结果显示:除第8周外,刺激后各时间点模型组小鼠体重均明显低于对照组(P<0.05)。空腹胆固醇及甘油三酯检查结果显示:与对照组相比较,模型组小鼠自刺激后的第2、4、8周显著增加(P<0.01),相反甘油三酯则在个时间点均显著降低(P<0.05)。结论复合式慢性应激是一种建立应激动物模型的有效方式;应激形成过程中动物体内胆固醇的增加提示长期的应激很可能对心血管系统造成一定危害。     

具高效种系嵌合能力的C57BL／6J 小鼠ES细胞系的建立

采用小鼠原代成纤维细胞作为饲养层,在含1×103单位白血病抑制因子（LIF）的DMEM高糖培养基中,建成了11个C57BL／6J小鼠的ES细胞系,成系率为9．6％。所建的11个ES细胞系中有5个核型正常率大于70％。这些细胞具早期胚胎细胞的特征,呈碱性磷酸酶阳性,具表达0014基因的特性5进行体内分化实验时能发生广泛的分化。通过嵌合体制作实验证明其中3个系具嵌合能力,并从中筛选出具高效种系嵌合能力的MESPU35细胞系,MESPU35细胞的克隆能达到种系传递,经过基因操作的细胞克隆,也保留了高效的嵌合能力。因此,MESPU35细胞可作为制作突变小鼠的有效载体。     

电磁脉冲对C57BL/6J 胸腺的作用

目的:观察电磁脉冲Electromagnetic Pulse(EMP)对C57BL/6J小鼠胸腺的影响。方法:50只C57BL/6J小鼠按体重区组随机化分为对照组和辐照组,每组25只。EMP每天照射400次,连续照射7天,照后1d(天)、3d、7d、14d、28d共5个时间点杀取胸腺。2只辐照组和2只对照组杀取的胸腺做HE染色,观察其病理改变;3只辐照与3只对照组的小鼠,杀后称取小鼠的体重和胸腺的重量,计算胸腺指数;然后提取T淋巴细胞进行计数;同时取小鼠外周血检测其中的IL-4的水平。结果:照后1d胸腺的切片没有明显改变。7天后,胸腺开始有出血,结构不清;胸腺指数呈现递减的趋势,但辐照组与对照组没有的差异没有统计学意义;T淋巴细胞数的变化也呈现先减后增的趋势,在第1d、14d、28d辐照组与对照组的差异没有统计学意义,在第3d和7d辐照组的细胞数小于对照组的细胞数(P<0.05);辐照组与对照组的外周血IL-4水平的差异也没有统计学意义。结论:电磁脉冲对雄性Balb/c小鼠胸腺结构造成一定的损伤,但胸腺指数改变不显著,T淋巴细胞数量增加。表明EMP对胸腺有一定的作用,但是胸腺不是EMP作用的敏感器官。     

远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系的建立及嵌合鼠的获得

ＥＳ细胞（ＥｍｂｒｙｏｎｉｃＳｔｅｍＣｅｌｌｓ）是来源于小鼠早期胚胎的多潜能干细胞,它可以在体外大量培养。并以单细胞的形式注射到早期胚胎里,发育为嵌合体。到目前为止,通常使用的１２９小鼠品系是来源于近交系（ｉｎｂｒｅｄ）小鼠的胚胎．与之相比,远交系小鼠应当具有较强的生命力和抗病能力。曾有人报道过建成了远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系,但是尚没有见到获得嵌合鼠的报道。有人甚至认为：由于不同品系小鼠所具有的遗传背景不同,有的小鼠不能建成ＥＳ细胞系。最近,本实验室在这方面做了有益的探索,成功地建成了远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系,并在这里报导首例用远交系小鼠胚胎干细胞系培育成功嵌合体小鼠。采用源于Ｓｗｉｓｓ小鼠远交群的昆明（ＫＭ）品系小鼠囊胚建成了三个小鼠胚胎干细胞系（ＫＥ１．ＫＥ２．ＫＥ５）。核型正常率均达到７０％以上。自第八代起分批冻存,复苏后,培养至第１２代,消化成单细胞,通过囊胚显微注射,将其注射到６１５品系小鼠胚胎。在幸存的幼鼠中获得了一只来源于ＫＥ１细胞的嵌合鼠（Ｔａｂｌｅ１）．其毛色表现为受体鼠（６１５）的白色中嵌合有供体鼠（ＫＭ）的黑褐色（ＰｌａｔｅＩ－Ａ）．嵌合鼠与受体鼠的杂交后代鼠中仍然出现了受体鼠的毛色类型（     

Transglutaminase 3 expression in C57BL／6J mouse embryo epidermis and the correlation with its differentiation

Epidermal-type transglutaminase 3 (TGM3) is involved in the cross-linking of structural proteins to form the cornified envelope in the epidermis. In the present study, we detected the expression of TGM3 in the mouse embryo using RT-PCR.TGM3 mRNA is weakly presented from E11.5 to E14.5 and increases significantly from E15.5 to birth. Then we determined the spatial and temporal expression pattern of TGM3 in the skin and other organs by in situ hybridization. We found a deprivation of TGM3 in skin at E11.5, while a rich supply in periderm cells and a weak expression in basal cells from E12.5 to E14.5. From the period of E15.5 to E16.5, after keratinization in the epidermis, TGM3 was expressed in the granular and cornified layers. The electron microscopic observation of the C57BL/6J mouse limb bud skin development provided several morphological evidences for the epidermal differentiation. The above findings suggest that the expression of TGM3 plays a important role in the epidermis differentiation in embryogenesis.     

A comparative phenotypic and genomic analysis of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N mouse strains

Background

The mouse inbred line C57BL/6J is widely used in mouse genetics and its genome has been incorporated into many genetic reference populations. More recently large initiatives such as the International Knockout Mouse Consortium (IKMC) are using the C57BL/6N mouse strain to generate null alleles for all mouse genes. Hence both strains are now widely used in mouse genetics studies. Here we perform a comprehensive genomic and phenotypic analysis of the two strains to identify differences that may influence their underlying genetic mechanisms.

Results

We undertake genome sequence comparisons of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N to identify SNPs, indels and structural variants, with a focus on identifying all coding variants. We annotate 34 SNPs and 2 indels that distinguish C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N coding sequences, as well as 15 structural variants that overlap a gene. In parallel we assess the comparative phenotypes of the two inbred lines utilizing the EMPReSSslim phenotyping pipeline, a broad based assessment encompassing diverse biological systems. We perform additional secondary phenotyping assessments to explore other phenotype domains and to elaborate phenotype differences identified in the primary assessment. We uncover significant phenotypic differences between the two lines, replicated across multiple centers, in a number of physiological, biochemical and behavioral systems.

Conclusions

Comparison of C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N demonstrates a range of phenotypic differences that have the potential to impact upon penetrance and expressivity of mutational effects in these strains. Moreover, the sequence variants we identify provide a set of candidate genes for the phenotypic differences observed between the two strains.     

Utility of a C57BL/6 ES line versus 129 ES lines for Targeted Mutations in Mice

Inbred ES lines, though useful for generating targeted mutations in mice, are used infrequently. To appreciate the relative efficiency of inbred ES lines, a C57BL/6 ES line was compared with 129 strain ES lines for effectiveness in chimera formation leading to the establishment of targeted mutations in mice. Data from a transgenic facility spanning 7 years were collected. C57BL/6 ES cells injected into Balb/c embryos results in lower coat color chimerism than do 129 ES cells injected into C57BL/6 embryos. Combined data indicate that five independent targeted C57BL/6 clones should be injected as compared to three independent 129 clones to generate enough chimeras to effectively test for germ-line transmission. Thus, although less efficient than 129 ES lines, the C57BL/6 ES line is a relatively competent line and useful for the routine generation of targeted mutations in mice on a defined genetic background.

Lactation-induced WAP-SV40 Tag Transgene Expression in C57BL/6J Mice Leads to Mammary Carcinoma

Two transgenic lineages were generated by directing the expression of SV40 T antigen to the mammary gland of inbred C57BL/6J mice using the whey acidic protein (WAP) promoter. In one lineage, WAPTag 1, multiparous female mice developed mammary adenocarcinoma with an average latency period of 13 months. The histopathological phenotype was heterogeneous, tumours occurred in a stochastic fashion, normal tissue was located next to neoplastic tissue, the mammary tumours usually developed and were remarkably similar to that observed in human cases. In addition, male and virgin females developed a poorly differentiated SV40 T antigen-positive soft tissue sarcoma, also at 13 months of age. In the other lineage, WAPTag 3, some parous females developed mammary tumours, but most mice succumbed to osteosarcomas arising from the os petrosum at 5.5 to 6 months of age and on necropsy, renal adenocarcinomas were also found. Appearance of these unexpected tumour types demonstrates the non-specific e...
