Detailed Description

Mice that are heterozygous for the targeted mutation are viable, exhibit delayed reproduction and lower body weight. No homozygotes are produced from heterozygous crosses. Fewer than expected heterozygotes are produced from heterozygote X wildtype crosses. Overexpression of gene product (protein) is detected by Western blot analysis of white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, MEFs, skull calvaria cells and brain tissue. Overexpression of the protein is not detected in liver or muscle tissue. Fusion gene product (mRNA) is detected in white adipose tissue by Northern blot analysis. Beta-actin protein expression is equivalent to wildtype levels. Heterozygote knock-in mice have reduced fat mass (epididymal fat pad weight), circulating free fatty acids, leptin, adiponectin and total cholesterol. Food consumption, glucose tolerance and metabolic rate (with associated higher oxygen consumption) are increased in the mutant mice. In fasted conditions, heterozygotes have lower circulating glucose levels than controls. In fed condition, heterozygotes have lower circulating insulin levels than controls.

Development

A targeting vector containing mouse SIRT1 cDNA, bovine growth hormone polyadenylation sequence, IRES sequence and floxed neo cassette was inserted into the 3' untranslated region of the mouse beta-actin locus. The construct was electroporated into C57BL/6J derived embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to mice expressing Cre recombinase (on the C57BL/6 background) to excise the floxed neo selection cassette. The Donating Investigator backcrossed the mice to C57BL/6 (see SNP note below) for many generations.
Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, the mice were crossed to C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) at least once to establish the colony.

A 32 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) panel analysis, with 27 markers covering all 19 chromosomes and the X chromosome, as well as 5 markers that distinguish between the C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N substrains, was performed on the rederived living colony at The Jackson Laboratory Repository. While the 27 markers throughout the genome suggested a C57BL/6 genetic background, 3 of 5 markers that determine C57BL/6J from C57BL/6N were found to be segregating. These data suggest the mice sent to The Jackson Laboratory Repository were on a mixed C57BL/6J ; C57BL/6N genetic background.

Actb^{tm3.1(Sirt1)Npa}

Allele Symbol: Actb^{tm3.1(Sirt1)Npa}

Allele Name	targeted mutation 3.1, Novartis Pharma AG
Allele Type	Targeted (Inserted expressed sequence)
Allele Synonym(s)	SIRT1-KI⁺
Gene Symbol and Name	Actb, actin, beta
Gene Synonym(s)
Expressed Gene	Sirt1, sirtuin 1, mouse, laboratory
Strain of Origin	C57BL/6J
Chromosome	5
Molecular Note	The 3' UTR was replaced with a cassette containing an IRES sequence, floxed neo cassette, mouse Sirt1 cDNA, and a bovine growth hormone polyadenylation sequence. Cre mediated recombination removed the neo cassette. Western blot analysis confirmed expression of the cDNA in white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, brain, calvaria cells of the skull, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts but not in the liver or muscle. Normal expression of Actb was confirmed by western blot analysis.

Breeding Considerations

When maintaining a live colony, these mice can be bred as heterozygotes. No homozygotes are produced from heterozygous crosses. Fewer than expected heterozygotes are produced from heterozygote X wildtype crosses. Heterozygous mice exhibit delayed reproduction.

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.
