Project description:The IgH 3â?? regulatory region (3â??RR) controls class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) in B cells. The mouse 3â??RR contains four enhancer elements with hs1,2 flanked by inverted repeated sequences and the center of a 25-kb palindrome bounded by two hs3 enhancer inverted copies (hs3a and hs3b). hs4 lies downstream of the palindrome. Evolution maintained in mammals this unique palindromic arrangement suggesting that it is functionally significant. We report that deconstructing the palindromic IgH 3â??RR strongly impacts its function even when enhancers are preserved. CSR and IgH transcription appear poorly dependent from the 3â??RR architecture and are more or less preserved provided 3â??RR enhancers are present. By contrast, an â??architectural effectâ?? significantly lowers VH germline transcription, AID recruitment and SHM. In conclusion, this work indicates that the IgH 3â??RR does not simply pile up enhancer units but also optimally expose them into a functional architecture of crucial importance.

Project description:We evaluated by RNA-seq obveral transcripts in B cells (resting and activated for 2 days with LPS) sorted from several KO mice models devoid of portion or all the IgH 3' Regulatory Region One RNA-seq point was realized per condition (resting or stimulated) and per genotype. Each point corresponds to a pool of equivalent number of B cells sorted from 4 animals

Project description:Numerous B-cell lymphomas feature translocations linking oncogenes with the IgH locus and epigenetic drugs such as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been approved to treat some of them. In this study we investigated IgH locus transcription in B-cell splenocytes stimulated with LPS and the HDACi SAHA. B-cell development is spatially and temporally regulated with the 3'RR enhancer of the IgH locus as a conductor. 3'RR is composed of 4 enhancer elements with a palindromic structure of great significance. We investigated the role of this palindrome with KOKI mice where the 30Kb structure of the 3'RR has been deleted of its palindromic structure.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.
