Donating Investigator Stephen Young,   Gladstone Institutes UCSF

Description
These mice are homozygous for four different induced mutations. The cumulative result of these mutations is a mouse model in which hypercholesterolemia can be reversed. By themselves, the combined presence of the Ldlrtm1Sgy and Apobtm1Sgy targeted alleles results in mice with a high susceptibility to atherosclerosis and total plasma cholesterol levels of approximately 300 mg/dl. A functional microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene (Mttp) is essential for establishing a hypercholesterolemic condition. By flanking the Mttp gene with loxP sites and including a Mx1-Cre transgene, it is possible to reduce total plasma cholesterol levels from 300 mg/dl to 30 mg/dl upon induction of the Cre recombinase by administering interferon alpha, interferon beta, or synthetic double-stranded RNA. This unique model is useful in research related to the mechanisms and events of atherosclerotic reversal. Mice homozygous for the targeted alleles are viable, fertile, normal in size and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities.

Development
The donating investigator combined existing induced alleles to create this model. See Stock No's 003902, 002077, 002877 and 003556.

Allele Symbol Apobtm2Sgy
Allele Name targeted mutation 2, Stephen G Young
Allele Type Targeted (knock-out)
Common Name(s) apo-B100;
Mutation Made By Stephen Young,   Gladstone Institutes UCSF
Strain of Origin129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1<+>
ES Cell Line NameAB1
ES Cell Line Strain129S7/SvEvBrd-Hprt1<+>
Gene Symbol and Name Apob, apolipoprotein B
Chromosome 12
Gene Common Name(s) AI315052; Aa1064; Ac1-060; ApoB-100; ApoB-48; FLDB; expressed sequence AI315052;
Molecular Note A "hit and run"-type vector was used to create a CTA to TTA mutation in codon 2153 in sequences corresponding to the apo-B48 editing codon. Western blot analysis on plasma derived from heterozygous and homozygous mice demostrated that the expression of the ApoB100 isoform is unaffected by this mutation, while no ApoB48 isoform is produced from this allele.

General Note When used in bone marrow transplant into Ldlrtm1Her homozygous mice, Abca1tm1Jdm Abcg1tm1Dgen homozygous cells accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. (J:130777)
Molecular Note Insertion of a neomycin resistance cassette into exon 4. The authors predict that the targeted allele would encode a truncated non-functional protein that will not bind LDL, and that lacks a membrane spanning segment. Immunoblot analysis of liver membranes detected a truncated protein in homozygous mutant animals. [MGI Ref ID J:37394]
 
Allele Symbol Mttptm2Sgy
Allele Name targeted mutation 2, Steven G Young

Gene Symbol and Name Mttp, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein
Chromosome 3
Gene Common Name(s) ABL; MGC149819; MGC149820; MTP;
Molecular Note A neomycin resistance cassette flanked by loxP sites was inserted into intron 1. An additional loxP site was inserted 2.5 kb upstream of the promoter and exon 1. [MGI Ref ID J:54612]
 
Allele Symbol Tg(Mx1-cre)1Cgn
Allele Name transgene insertion 1, University of Cologne
Allele Type Transgenic (Cre/Flp)
Common Name(s) Mx-Cre; Mx-Cre 31; Mx1-Cre; Mx1cre; MxCre;
Mutation Made By Ralf Kuhn,   University of Cologne
Strain of Origin(C57BL/6 x CBA)F2
Site of Expressionwidespread pattern of expression; promoter induced to high levels of transcription by administration of interferon alpha, interferon beta, or synthetic double-stranded RNA; provides capability to induce the "knockout" at any time during development
Expressed Gene cre, cre recombinase, bacteriophage P1
Cre recombinase is an enzyme derived from the bacteriophage P1 that specifically recognizes loxP sites. Cre has been shown to effectively mediate the excision of DNA located between loxP sites. After the excision event, the DNA ends recombine leaving a single loxP site in place of the intervening sequence.
Promoter Mx1, myxovirus (influenza virus) resistance 1, mouse, laboratory
Molecular Note This transgene expresses Cre recombinase under the control of an inducible Mx1 promoter, which is silent in healthy mice, and active in the liver and in lymphocytes after induction with IFN or pI-pC. The construct also contains a 2.1 kb fragment from thehuman growth hormone gene. [MGI Ref ID J:105040] [MGI Ref ID J:67927]
