Cutting edge: homologous recombination of the MHC class I K region defines new MHC-linked diabetogenic susceptibility gene(s) in nonobese diabetic mice.

چکیده
To localize the MHC-linked diabetogenic genes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse, a recombinational hotspot from the B10.A(R209) mouse was introduced to the region between the MHC class I K and class II A of the NOD mouse with the recombinational site centromeric to the Lmp2/Tap1 complex by breeding the two strains. Replacement of the NOD region centromeric to the recombinational site with the same region in R209 mice prevented the development of diabetes (from 71 to 3%) and insulitis (from 61 to 15%) in the N7 intra-MHC recombinant NOD mice. Similarly, the replacement of the NOD class II A, E and class I D region with the same region in R209 mice prevented the diseases (diabetes, from 71 to 0%; insulitis, from 61 to 3%). In addition to the MHC class II genes, there are at least two MHC-linked diabetogenic genes in the region centromeric to Lmp2.

Genetic control of diabetes and insulitis in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse
Genetic analysis of the development of diabetes and insulitis has been performed in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse strain, a model of insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus. (NOD X C57BL/10)F1, F2, and (F1 X NOD) first-, second-, and third-backcross generations were studied. The data obtained were consistent with the hypothesis that diabetes is controlled by at least three functionally...
متن کاملMHC class II molecules play a role in the selection of autoreactive class I-restricted CD8 T cells that are essential contributors to type 1 diabetes development in nonobese diabetic mice.
Development of autoreactive CD4 T cells contributing to type 1 diabetes (T1D) in both humans and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice is either promoted or dominantly inhibited by particular MHC class II variants. In addition, it is now clear that when co-expressed with other susceptibility genes, some common MHC class I variants aberrantly mediate autoreactive CD8 T cell responses also essential to T1...
متن کاملThymic and postthymic regulation of diabetogenic CD8 T cell development in TCR transgenic nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
Natural development of diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice requires both CD4 and CD8 T cells. Transgenic NOD mice carrying alphabeta TCR genes from a class I MHC (Kd)-restricted, pancreatic beta cell Ag-specific T cell clone develop diabetes significantly faster than nontransgenic NOD mice. In these TCR transgenic mice, a large fraction of T cells express both transgene derived and endogen...

In our report "Three recessive loci required for insulin-dependent diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice" (1), we outcrossed diabetes-susceptible strain NOD mice with diabetes-resistant strain NON, backcrossed the resistant F1 hybrids to the susceptible NOD parental strain, and analyzed segregation of diabetogenic genes. We reported that 1 of 19 mice developing diabetes at first backcross apparent...
متن کاملAn interval tightly linked to but distinct from the H2 complex controls both overt diabetes (Idd16) and chronic experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (Ceat1) in nonobese diabetic mice.
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) has long been associated with predisposition to several autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroiditis. In type 1 diabetes, a primary role has been assigned to class II genes, both in humans and in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model. However, an involvement of other tightly linked genes is strongly suspected. Here, throu...
