Project description:The relative contributions of additive versus non-additive interactions in the regulation of complex traits remains controversial. This may be in part because large-scale epistasis has traditionally been difficult to detect in complex, multi-cellular organisms. We hypothesized that it would be easier to detect interactions using mouse chromosome substitution strains that simultaneously incorporate allelic variation in many genes on a controlled genetic background. Analyzing metabolic traits and gene expression levels in the offspring of a series of crosses between mouse chromosome substitution strains demonstrated that inter-chromosomal epistasis was a dominant feature of these complex traits. Epistasis typically accounted for a larger proportion of the heritable effects than those due solely to additive effects. These epistatic interactions typically resulted in trait values returning to the levels of the parental CSS host strain. Due to the large epistatic effects, analyses that did not account for interactions consistently underestimated the true effect sizes due to allelic variation or failed to detect the loci controlling trait variation. These studies demonstrate that epistatic interactions are a common feature of complex traits and thus identifying these interactions is key to understanding their genetic regulation.

Project description:To investigate mouse intersubspecific divergence of transcriptional regulation between C57BL/6J (B6) and Japanese wild-derived MSM/Ms strains, we performed transcriptome analysis by microarray on liver from B6 and MSM, and B6-ChrNMSM chromosome substitution strain panel, which carries MSM-derived chromosome or chromosomal segment on the B6 host.

Project description:SMXA-5 mouse shows a high-fat induced fatty liver. The QTL for fatty liver was mapped on mouse chromosome 12, designated as Fl1sa. The liver triglycerides content of A/J-12SM consomic mouse, a chromosome substitution strain, was suppressed compared to that of A/J mouse. We compared the hepatic gene expressions between A/J mouse and A/J-12SM consomic mouse.

Project description:We generate 36 otherwise isogenic Drosophila melanogaster strains differing only in the geographical origin of their mitochondrial genome and Y chromosome to experimentally examine the effects of the uniparentaly inherited parts of the genome, as well as their interaction, in males. We assay gene expression through RNA-sequencing and detect an important role for both mitochondrial and Y-linked genes, as well as extensive mitochondrial-Y chromosome epistasis.

Project description:SMXA-5 mouse shows a high-fat induced fatty liver. The QTL for fatty liver was mapped on mouse chromosome 12, designated as Fl1sa. The liver triglycerides content of A/J-12SM consomic mouse, a chromosome substitution strain, was suppressed compared to that of A/J mouse. We compared the hepatic gene expressions between A/J mouse and A/J-12SM consomic mouse. Total RNA of male A/J mice and A/J-12SM consomic mice fed a high-fat diet for 7weeks were extracted individually from liver of nine mice. The RNAs from three mice were pooled and hybridized on one Affimetrix microarray. Sample were analyzed in triplicate set of array (three biological replicates).

Project description:How glucose sensing by the nervous system impacts the regulation of ? cell mass and function during postnatal development and throughout adulthood is incompletely understood. Here, we studied mice with inactivation of glucose transporter 2 (Glut2) in the nervous system (NG2KO mice). These mice displayed normal energy homeostasis but developed late-onset glucose intolerance due to reduced insulin secretion, which was precipitated by high-fat diet feeding. The ? cell mass of adult NG2KO mice was reduced compared with that of WT mice due to lower ? cell proliferation rates in NG2KO mice during the early postnatal period. The difference in proliferation between NG2KO and control islets was abolished by ganglionic blockade or by weaning the mice on a carbohydrate-free diet. In adult NG2KO mice, first-phase insulin secretion was lost, and these glucose-intolerant mice developed impaired glucagon secretion when fed a high-fat diet. Electrophysiological recordings showed reduced parasympathetic nerve activity in the basal state and no stimulation by glucose. Furthermore, sympathetic activity was also insensitive to glucose. Collectively, our data show that GLUT2-dependent control of parasympathetic activity defines a nervous system/endocrine pancreas axis that is critical for ? cell mass establishment in the postnatal period and for long-term maintenance of ? cell function.
