Overview

This strain carries the same trisomic segment as other strains that are models for Down syndrome, but may have advantages in that transmission of the trisomic segment through the female germline is greater and males are fertile.

Important Note

Pde6b^rd1, the recessive retinal degeneration 1 mutation, is segregating in this colony. Animals that are homozygous for rd1 will be blind.

Detailed Description

The trisomic segment in the Rb(12.Ts17¹⁶65Dn)2Cje strain is genetically identical to the Ts65Dn strains, Stock No. 001924 and Stock No. 005252, with trisomy of the Chr 16 genes, from Mrpl39 to the distal telomere. Quantitative PCR confirmed the triplication of Chr 16 genes from App to Mx1. Transmission of the chromosome 16 segmental trisomy through the female germline is significantly improved over Ts65Dn (43% versus 24%). Dendritic spines on granule cells in the fascia dentata are enlarged in size and decreased in density (Villar AJ, et al. 2005). Unlike Ts65Dn, males are fertile. Trisomic mice are 20% smaller in size than controls. This strain serves a model for Down syndrome.

The Clcc1^m1J spontaneous mutation, which causes increased sensitivity to endoplasmic reticulum stress in the cerebellum, is a homozygous strain characteristic of C3H/HeSnJ (Jia et al., 2015) so is segregating in this strain.

Development

The Rb(12.Ts171665Dn)2Cje strain was the result of a spontaneous fusion between the small Ts65Dn marker chromosome (carrying the distal end of Chr 16) and Chr 12, forming a Robertsonian fusion chromosome. This Robertsonian chromosome was found among the progeny of a mating between a trisomic Ts65Dn female, B6EiC3Sn a/A - Ts(17¹⁶)65Dn (Stock No. 001924) and a diploid B6EiC3SnF1 male. Quantitative PCR confirmed the triplication of Chr 16 genes from App to Mx1, the same as in Ts65Dn strains.

Molecular Note	A female mouse with 40 chromosomes and 41 arms was detected by chromosome analysis of progeny from T17¹⁶65Dn mice. This mouse had a unique biarmed chromosome that appeared to be the result of a fusion between chromosome 12 and the marker chromosome T(17¹⁶)65Dn.

involves: C3H/HeSnJ * C57BL/6JEi

cellular phenotype

increased neuron apoptosis
- the number of apoptotic neurons in the cortex is more than double that of controls

reproductive system phenotype

decreased testis weight
- testes are 65.6% of control testes weights

endocrine/exocrine gland phenotype

decreased testis weight

mammalian phenotype

reproductive system phenotype
- testes are structurally indistinguishable from controls and have normal progression of spermatogenesis
- mice are viable and fertile

nervous system phenotype

abnormal neuron morphology

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
