Strain Description
Mice homozygous for the Il10tm1Cgn targeted mutation are viable and fertile when housed under specific pathogen free (SPF) conditions. Under conventional housing conditions, Il10-deficiency is associated with altered lymphocyte and myeloid profiles, elevated serum amyloid A levels, altered responses to inflammatory or autoimmune stimuli (both endogenous and induced), increased prevalence of colorectal adenocarcinoma (especially on 129/Sv and, to a lesser extent, BALB/c genetic background), and spontaneous development of chronic enterocolitis (see below). As The Jackson Laboratory Repository maintains these mice at high health status conditions (high SPF), the observed or experimentally-induced Il10-deficient phenotype may vary from that previously published using mice from conventional mouse rooms. These IL-10 mutant mice may be useful studying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Crohn's disease (CD) and/or colitis), cancer, innate and adaptive immunity, and many other areas of inflammatory or autoimmunity research.

The onset and severity of both spontaneous and experimentally-induced inflammatory phenotype of Il10-deficient mice is strongly influenced by the genetic background and the husbandry conditions (specific health status/commensal flora) of the vivaria in which mice are maintained.

For example, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; colitis and Crohn's disease) severity in mouse models is dependent upon interactions between specific genetic background and environmental factors (an as yet undefined component of the enteric flora of which Helicobacter spp. appear to be associated, but not specifically the environmental trigger). Both spontaneous and induced models of IBD demonstrate that susceptibility to intestinal inflammation varies markedly among inbred strains of mice. Generally, for Il10-deficient models on defined genetic backgrounds, the severity of colitis-related characteristics is most severe on C3H/HeJBir (Stock No. 004326 and Stock No. 003968) or 129/Sv (Stock No. 004368), intermediate on BALB/cJ (Stock No. 004333) or NOD/Lt (Stock No. 004266), and least severe on C57BL/10 (Stock No. 002250) or C57BL/6J (Stock No. 002251). Furthermore, the husbandry conditions (specific health status/commensal flora) of the vivaria in which mice are maintained significantly alter the onset and severity of spontaneous IBD; higher SPF conditions are associated with attenuated colitis. Il10-deficient mice on both the C3H/HeJBir and C57BL/6J genetic backgrounds exhibit a significant increase in peripheral blood granulocyte populations upon lesion development and this metric may be used as a robust non-lethal assessment of Il10-deficiency induced colitis onset and severity. Other indications of Il10-deficiency induced colitic lesion onset may include perianal ulceration (C3H/HeJBir background) or rectal prolapse (C57BL/6J background).

For a more detailed description please refer to the JAX Notes Fall 1997 article.

Important Health Status Considerations

Our colony of these Il10-deficient mice is maintained in isolators under conditions which preserve the presence of potentially strain-unique enteric flora required for the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This includes the presence of Helicobacter spp., which is a marker for the presence of the additional microbiota required for colitis development.

For additional information, please view the following: Important Health Status Advisory.

Strain Development
The Il10tm1Cgn mutation was created by in the Laboratory of Dr. Werner Muller at the University of Cologne. Briefly, a targeting vector was designed to replace codons 5-55 of exon 1 of the targeted gene with a 24 bp linker (providing a termination codon) and a neo expression cassette, as well as introduce a termination codon into exon 3. The construct was electroporated into 129P2/OlaHsd-derived E14-1 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient C57BL/6 blastocysts and chimeric males were bred with C57BL/6 females to establish the mutant colony on a mixed B6;129P2 genetic background. It was then imported to the Induced Mutant Resource at The Jackson Labratory in 1995. Subsequently, mutant mice were backcrossed to C3H/HeJBir for at least 10 generations. At the tenth backcross generation to C3H/HeJBir, heterozygotes were intercrossed to produce founders for this homozygous mutant line (Stock No. 004326) as well as founders for a wildtype control line (Stock No. 005973).

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryWhen maintaining a live colony, homozygous mice may be bred together. Of note, the onset and severity of both the spontaneous and experimentally-induced inflammatory phenotype of Il10-deficient mice is strongly influenced by the genetic background and the husbandry conditions (specific health status/commensal flora) of the vivaria in which mice are maintained. As such, high SPF conditions may attenuate the desired Il10-deficient phenotype.

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.
