Strain Description
Although closely related to NOD mice, NON mice contain a diabetes resistant MHC haplotype (H2nb1 = Kb, Anb1, Ek, Db). The name was derived from "Non-Obese Non-diabetic"; however, NON/ShiLtJ mice should not be considered "normal." They carry the retinal degeneration (Pde6b) mutation and exhibit certain tendencies toward autoimmune disease. This strain maintains a low plasma insulin level, which may account in part why certain loci from NON/ShiLt can enhance development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes in segregating hybrid mice following outcross to NOD/ShiLtJ. The NON strain-characteristic immunologic abnormalities include perivascular/periductular leukocyte infiltration into the pancreas and submandibular salivary glands, and T lymphocytopenia evident by 20 weeks of age in spleen. NON/ShiLt mice clearly harbor genes predisposing to type 2 diabetes, as evidenced by early impaired glucose tolerance in males and females, development of moderate mature-onset obesity in the presence of low plasma insulin levels, and development of glomerulosclerotic kidney lesions. The ALS/Lt strain shares the H2nb1 MHC haplotype with NON/ShiLt. Although ALS/Lt males share the impaired glucose tolerance phenotype of NON/ShiLt males, the ALS/Lt males differ in developing progressive hyperinsulinemia as they gain weight whereas NON/ShiLt males fail to hypersecrete insulin, suggesting a potential beta cell response defect in the latter strain. F1 hybrids of NON/ShiLt and NZO/Hl provide a new model of obesity-induced diabetes. Male (NON/ShiLt x NZO/Hl)F1 hybrids are obese (Body Weight = 53.5 g by 16 wks) and almost all develop maturity onset NIDDM. F1 males on a 4% diet will develop hyperglycemia around 20 to 24 weeks of age; increasing the fat content of the diet accelerates diabetes onset to 16 to 20 wks of age. (NZO/Hl x NON/ShiLt)F1 hybrids will develop diabetes slightly faster than their reciprocal cross due to the NZO maternal environment; however this cross is difficult to produce due to the inherently poor breeding performance of NZO/HlJ female mice. F1 females exhibit a weight gain similar to the NZO parent, and have impaired glucose tolerance but are resistant to diabetes development. Diabetes development can be accelerated to 8-12 weeks by fostering onto an F1 dam. Reciprocal backcrosses to the parental strains and analysis of (NON/ShiLt x NZO/Hl)F2 mice has led to the identification of a number of complex diabetes-predisposing ("diabesity") QTLs. Dr. Leiter's research group at The Jackson Laboratory is currently developing a series of 9 recombinant congenic strains (RCS) made by backcrossing the (NZO/Hl x NON/ShiLt)F1 for two generations onto the NON/Lt background before inbreeding (~12% NZO/Hl, 88% NON/ShiLt genomes). Preliminary analysis indicates that body weight gains of all RCS are higher than NON/ShiLt, but none are as obese as NZO/Hl; some of these RCS develop NIDDM while others are resistant. These new strains will be useful to further analyze diabesity QTLs and as new models for type 2 (NIDDM) diabetes. An additional benefit of the RCS is better breeding performance than NZO/Hl.

Strain Development
The NON inbred strain arose out of a colony originally developed by selection for high fasting blood glucose early in the inbreeding of the Cataract Shionogi (CTS) strain. These mice were originally outbred Jcl:ICR mice. A cataract-free substrain was initiated at F6, with selection made on the basis of a high fasting blood glucose. This line was separated from the future NOD/Shi line at F13, and originally designated NON for nonobese nondiabetic.

Gene & Allele Details

Allele Symbol Pde6brd1
Allele Name retinal degeneration 1
Common Name(s) rd; rd-1; rd1; rodless retina;
Gene Symbol and Name Pde6b, phosphodiesterase 6B, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide
Chromosome 5
Gene Common Name(s) CSNB3; PDEB; Pdeb; RP40; nmf137; phosphodiesterase, cGMP, rod receptor, beta polypeptide; r; rd; rd-1; rd1; rd10; retinal degeneration; retinal degeneration 1; retinal degeneration 10;
Molecular Note Two mutations have been identified in rd1 mice. A murine leukimia virus (Xmv-28) insertion in reverse orientation in intron 1 is found in all mouse strains with the rd1 phenotype. Further, a nonsense mutation (C to A transversion) in codon 347 that results in a truncation eliminating more than half of the predicted encoded protein, including the catalytic domain has also been identified in all rd1 strains of mice. A specific degradation of mutant transcript during or after pre-mRNA splicing is suggested. [MGI Ref ID J:11513] [MGI Ref ID J:4366] [MGI Ref ID J:51361]

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.
