Project description:We compared gene expression profiles between testes from C57BL/6 and C57BL/6-background congenic mouse strain B6.MRLc1-(D1Mit202M-bM-^@M-^SD1Mit403) carrying the telomeric region of MRL-type Chr 1 (67.97M-bM-^@M-^S81.63 cM) at 10 days after a single scrotal heat stress of 43M-BM-0C for 20 min. Heat-induced gene expression in mouse testis was measured at 10 days after a single heat exposure. The testes were isolated from 3 C57BL/6 and 3 B6.MRLc1-(D1Mit202M-bM-^@M-^SD1Mit403). C57BL/6 versus B6.MRLc1-(D1Mit202M-bM-^@M-^SD1Mit403) analysis was performed.

Project description:Cryptorchidism and scrotal heating result in abnormal spermatogenesis but the mechanism(s) proscribing this temperature sensitivity are unknown. It was previously reported that the AKR/N or MRL/MpJ-+/+ mouse testis is more heat resistant than the testis from the C57BL/6 strain. We have attempted to probe into the mechanism(s) involved in heat sensitivity by examining global gene expression profiles of normal and heat-treated testes from C57BL/6, AKR/N and MRL/MpJ-+/+ mice by microarray analysis. In the normal C57BL/6 testis, 415 and 416 transcripts were differentially expressed (at least two-fold higher or lower) when compared to the normal AKR/N and MRL/MpJ-+/+ testis, respectively. The AKR/N and MRL/MpJ-+/+ strains revealed 268 differentially expressed transcripts between them. There were 231 transcripts differentially expressed between C57BL/6 and two purported heat-resistant strains, AKR/N and MRL/MpJ-+/+. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA of testes from 3 different strains of mice, C57BL/6, AKR/N and MRL/MpJ-+/+, were analyzed using microarray 430.20 chip. All mice were 8 weeks old, 2 mice/strain.

Project description:We previously utilized interval-specific congenic lines derived from C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) alleles to fine map a quantitative trait locus (QTL) influencing methamphetamine (MA)- induced locomotor activity. We identified a 0.23 MB critical interval on chromosome 11 containing only two protein coding genes, Rufy1 and Hnrnph1. Notably, Rufy1 contains three missense SNPs and Hnrnph1 contains 1 SNP near the 5’ UTR. In an effort to identify the molecular mechanisms that bridge genetic variation with behavior, we conducted transcriptome analysis via mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in a B6.D2 congenic line (chr.11: 50-60 Mb) that captures the QTL. There was an overrepresentation of cis-regulated, differentially expressed genes within the congenic interval (4 out of 92 differentially expressed genes; FDR < 0.05) and widespread genomic regulation on all autosomes.

Project description:A C57BL6/J (B6) x CAST/Ei (CAST) strain intercross has revealed a new quantitative trait locus (QTL) on Chromosome (Chr) 17 controlling total food volume (Tfv1; LOD=7.6). Compared with B6, the CAST mice consume 39% more food volume per body weight in a macronutrient diet selection paradigm. Linkage analyses of total food volume revealed the presence of suggestive QTL on Chrs 2, 6, and 15 and a significant locus on Chr 17. An interval-specific congenic strain, B6.CAST-17, was then developed which verified the QTL. Microarray analysis of stomach in congenic and wildtype B6 mice revealed Glp1r as an expression candidate with physiological relevance to food intake. Further functional analysis of this gene revealed this gene as potential candidate for total food volume trait in mice Keywords: Comparative gene expression analysis

Project description:MRL mice display unusual healing properties. When MRL ear pinnae are hole punched, the holes close completely without scarring, with re-growth of cartilage, and reappearance of both hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Studies using (MRL/lpr x C57BL/6)F2 and backcross mice first showed that this phenomenon was genetically determined and that multiple loci contributed to this quantitative trait. The lpr mutation itself, however, was not one of them. In the present study, we examined the genetic basis of healing in the Large (LG/J) mouse strain, a parent of the MRL mouse and a strain that shows the same healing phenotype. LG/J mice were crossed with Small (SM/J) mice and the F2 population was scored for healing and their genotypes determined at >200 polymorphic markers. As we previously observed for MRL and (MRL x B6) F2 mice, the wound healing phenotype was sexually dimorphic with female mice healing more quickly and more completely than male mice. We found quantitative trait loci (QTL) on chromosomes (chr) 9, 10, 11, and 15. The heal QTL on chrs 11 and 15 were linked to differential healing primarily in male animals, whereas QTL on chrs 9 and 10 were not sexually dimorphic. A comparison of loci identified in previous crosses with those in the present report using LG/J x SM/J showed that loci on chrs 9, 11 and 15 co-localized with those seen in previous MRL crosses, whereas the locus on chr 10 was not seen before and was is contributed by SM/J.

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to identify genes contributing to fat, carbohydrate, and total calorie intake in mice by comparing gene expression in liver and hypothalamus of an interval-specific congenic strain, B6.CAST-17, with that of the control strain. This congenic strain has previously confirmed genetic loci on Chr 17 linked to increased carbohydrate (Mnic1) and kilocalorie (Kcal2) intake. Keywords: Comparative gene expression analysis

There were 231 transcripts differentially expressed between C57BL/6 and two purported heat-resistant strains, AKR/N and MRL/MpJ-+/+. Next, the testes of C57BL/6 and AKR/N mice were exposed to 43ºC for 15 min and harvested at different time points for TUNEL studies and microarrays. An increase of TUNEL-positive germ cell numbers was significant 8 hr after heat exposure in the C57BL/6 mouse. However, this increase was not observed in the AKR/N mouse until 10 hr after heat exposure. All tubules showed germ cell loss and disruption in C57BL/6 testis 24 hr after heat shock. In contrast, although a number of seminiferous tubules showed an abnormal morphology 24 hr post-heat shock in the AKR/N mouse, many tubules still retained a normal structure. Numerous transcripts exhibited differential regulation between the two strains within 24 hours after heat exposure. The differentially expressed transcripts in the testes 8 hr after heat exposure were targeted to identify the genes involved in the initial response rather than those due to germ cell loss. Twenty transcripts were significantly down-regulated and 19 genes were up-regulated by hyperthermia in C57BL/6 and did not show a parallel change in the AKR/N testis. Conversely, heat shock resulted in 30 up-regulated transcripts and 31 down-regulated transcripts in AKR/N that were not similarly regulated in C57BL/6. A number of genes shared similar differential expression patterns and differential regulation by hyperthermia in both strains of mice. Taken together, the present study indicates the diverse genetic backgrounds in the three strains lead to major differences in normal testis gene expression profiles while the differences in heat shock responses involves a significantly smaller number of genes. The data generated may provide insights regarding gene networks and pathways involved in heat stress and their relationship to spermatogenesis.

Project description:Several studies have shown that bone mineral density (BMD), a clinically measurable predictor of osteoporotic fracture, is the sum of genetic and environmental influences. In addition, serum IGF-1 levels have been correlated to both BMD and fracture risk. We previously identified a Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) for Bone Mineral Density (BMD) on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 6 that overlaps a QTL for serum IGF-1. The B6.C3H-6T (6T) congenic mouse is homozygous for C57BL/6J (B6) alleles across the genome except for a 30 cM region on Chr 6 that is homozygous for C3H/HeJ (C3H) alleles. This mouse was created to study biology behind both the BMD and the serum IGF-1 QTLs and to identify the gene(s) underlying these QTLs. Female 6T mice have lower BMD and lower serum IGF-1 levels at all ages measured. As the liver is the major source of serum IGF-1, we examined differential expression in the livers of fasted female B6 and 6T mice by microarray. Keywords: Genetic variation
