Specieslaboratory mouse
GenerationN11F1N1p (30-MAY-04)
 
Donating Investigator Peter Sorger,   Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Description
Mice that are heterozygous for the Mad2l1tm1Sorg targeted allele are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral abnormalities. Homozygous null mice are embryonic lethal; they fail to develop past embryonic days 6-7 due to catastrophic chromosome missegregation and apoptosis. Histological analysis of heterozygous mutant mice reveal increased germinal center formation in spleen and a higher incidence of lung carcinomas when compared to the wildtype. This mutant mouse strain represents a model that may be useful in studies of the role cell-division checkpoints in tumorogenesis.

Development
A targeting vector containing neomycin resistance gene driven by the mouse phosphoglycerate kinase promoter and herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase genes was used to disrupt all coding sequence of the targeted gene. The construct was electroporated into 129S2/SvPas derived D3 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts.

The following phenotype information may relate to a genetic background differing from this JAX® Mice strain.

Mad2l1tm1Sorg/Mad2l1+

        involves: 129S2/SvPas * C57BL/6
  • tumorigenesis
  • lung adenocarcinoma (MGI Ref ID J:67456)
    • at 18-19 months of age, heterozygotes show a high frequency of papillary lung adenocarcinomas relative to age-matched wild-type mice
    • in contrast, the background rate of lymphomas detected in ageing heterozygotes remains unchanged relative to wild-type
  • cellular phenotype
  • *normal* cellular phenotype (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • initial studies indicated that heterozygotes develop normally, with blastocysts exhibiting no evidence of a defective mitotic checkpoint as assayed by reactivity to phospho-histone 3 antibody; premature sister-chromatid separation was not examined in initial experiments
    • chromosome breakage (MGI Ref ID J:67456)
      • MEFs from 4 out of 5 heterozygotes exhibit high frequencies of premature anaphase (sister-chromatid separation) relative to wild-type cultures
      • all heterozygous MEF cultures display a significant increase in the number of aneuploid cells relative to wild-type cultures
      • the % of aneuploid cells correlates with the severity of premature anaphase, suggesting a direct relationship between the severity of loss of checkpoint control and chromosome mis-segregation
  • hematopoietic system phenotype
  • increased spleen germinal center number (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • heterozygotes are viable and largely normal but exhibit atypical (increased) germinal center formation in spleen relative to wild-type mice
  • immune system phenotype
  • increased spleen germinal center number (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • heterozygotes are viable and largely normal but exhibit atypical (increased) germinal center formation in spleen relative to wild-type mice

Mad2l1tm1Sorg/Mad2l1+

        involves: 129S2/SvPas
  • cellular phenotype
  • abnormal cell physiology (MGI Ref ID J:117337)
    • 7.2% of MEFs are aneuploid for chromosome 2 compared to 1.4% of wild-type MEFs
    • mutant MEFs injected into athymic nude mice produced tumors in 8/8 mice within 4 weeks compared to no tumors from wild-type MEFs; tumors are 40% smaller at 6 weeks compared to than produced by MEFs from Mad1/Mad2 mutants
  • abnormal chromosome number (MGI Ref ID J:117337)
    • chromosomal instability is much higher than in wild-type MEFs
    • aneuploidy (MGI Ref ID J:117337)
      • at 5 months of age 15% of splenocytes are aneuploid; however no early aging related phenotypes are seen in heterozygotes at 19 to 27 months of age and no increase in the number of senescent MEFs is seen compared to wild-type
  • tumorigenesis
  • increased tumor incidence (MGI Ref ID J:117337)
    • mutant MEFs induce tumors in 100% of athymic nude mice in 4 weeks

Mad2l1tm1Sorg/Mad2l1tm1Sorg

        involves: 129S2/SvPas * C57BL/6
  • lethality-prenatal/perinatal
  • embryonic lethality before somite formation (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • homozygous mutant embryos die in utero between E6.5 and E7.5
  • cellular phenotype
  • abnormal cell cycle checkpoint function (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • at E5.5, mutant embryonic cells assemble normal spindles and undergo mitosis but are unable to arrest in response to drug-induced spindle disruption, indicating loss of a functional spindle assembly checkpoint
  • abnormal mitosis (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • strikingly, ~25% of mitotic cells contain one or more lagging chromosomes, suggesting that anaphase proceeds in the absence of complete chromosome-microtubule attachment
    • in utero, E6.5-E7.5 mutant embryos show a significant reduction in the total number of mitotic cells
  • chromosome breakage (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • absence of a functional spindle assembly checkpoint allows mutant cells to proceed even when unattached chromosomes are present, resulting in widespread chromosome missegregation
  • increased apoptosis (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • mutant embryos undergo programmed cell death after the initiation of gastrulation at E6.5-E7.5; at this stage, wild-type embryos contain only a few apoptotic cells near the embryo center
    • in vitro, cell death is restricted to the rapidly dividing cells of the inner cell mass
  • embryogenesis phenotype
  • *normal* embryogenesis phenotype (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • homozygous mutant embryos appear normal both in utero and in culture until E5.5
    • abnormal embryonic tissue morphology (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
      • mutant embryos appear grossly abnormal relative to wild-type embryos
      • abnormal inner cell mass (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
        • in vitro, the ICM of mutant embryos stops proliferating after E6.5 and virtually no mutant ICM cells persist to E8.5
        • in contrast, the postmitotic and highly polyploid trophoblast giant cells continue to grow in size through E8.5
    • reduced embryo size (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
      • mutant embryos are small relative to wild-type embryos
  • growth/size phenotype
  • reduced embryo size (MGI Ref ID J:62829)
    • mutant embryos are small relative to wild-type embryos

Health & husbandry

Health & Colony Maintenance Information

Colony Maintenance

Breeding & HusbandryThe resulting chimeric animals were crossed to C57BL/6 mice, and then backcrossed to the same for 10 generations (3/02). This strain is maintained as a heterozygote. Homozygous mutant mice have an embryonic lethal phenotype, failing to develop past embryonic days 6-7. Donating Investigator reports reproductive performance of heterozygotes is normal and recommends breeding heterozygotes at approximately 2 months of age; continue to breed for at least 18 months.

Supply Notes
  • Cryorecovery - Standard.
    The recovery process begins when a signed agreement form is returned to the Customer Service Department after order placement. Although results vary by strain, at least two males and two females (two pairs) will be provided, typically within 15 weeks of our receipt of the signed agreement form. If the first recovery attempt is unsuccessful or only one pair is recovered, a second recovery will be done, extending the delivery time to approximately 25 weeks. At least one member of each pair will be of known genotype and will carry the mutation if it is a mutant strain. Please note that pairs may not reflect the mating scheme utilized by The Jackson Laboratory prior to cryopreservation of the strain. Mating schemes are sometimes modified for successful cryopreservation. Price represents a repository maintenance fee, which includes the cost of recovery of the strain from the cryopreservation resource and the periodic replacement of the frozen embryos used for recovery.

    Cryorecovery to establish a Dedicated Supply for greater quantities of mice.
    One to two pairs will be recovered to establish a Dedicated Supply of mice. Price by quotation. For more information on Dedicated Supply, please contact JAX® Services, Tel: 1-800-422-6423 or 1-207-288-5845.

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.
