Genetic Alterations
The Tia1 gene was disrupted by replacement of parts of intron 3 and exon 4 of the genomic DNA with a neomycin cassette via homologous recombination.

The Smn1tm5(Smn1/SMN2)Mrph allele encodes two coding sequences: the first is a hybrid gene in which a 2.2-kb segment of mouse genome containing exons 7 and 8 of the mouse Smn1 gene was replaced with a 1.3-kb fragment of human genomic DNA containing exons 7 and 8 of the human SMN2 gene and the second is a full, 42-kb copy of the human SMN2 gene. A selection cassette located downstream from the human SMN2 polyadenylation signal was removed by FLPe expression in ES cells leaving an FRT site at the downstream junction between human and mouse DNA. Because exon 7 is derived from human SMN2, it is skipped in approximately 90% of the processed mRNA derived from both genes.
ES Cell Line
  • Tia1 allele: D3 derived from 129S2/SvPas
  • Smn1 allele: F1H4 derived from (129S6/SvEvTac x C57BL/6NTac)F1
Phenotype
The allele C (C+/+, official: Smn1tm5(Smn1/SMN2)Mrph) mouse recapitulates a mild spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-like phenotype and offers an ideal system to monitor the role of disease-modifying factors over a long time. T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1 (TIA1) regulates SMN1 exon 7 splicing. In humans, TIA1 is reported to be downregulated in obese patients. The donor showed that female Tia1-knockout (Tia1−/−) mice gain significant body weight during early postnatal development. Underscoring the opposing effects of Tia1 deletion and low SMN1 level on body weight gain, both C+/+ and C+/+/Tia1−/− females showed a similar body weight gain trajectory. Early tail necrosis was observed in C+/+/Tia1−/− females but not in males. There was impairment of male reproductive organ development and exacerbation of the C+/+/Tia1−/− testis transcriptome. These findings implicate a protein factor as a gender-specific modifier in this mouse model of SMA.

Strain Development
This is strain is a cross of two strains, B6.129-Smn1tm5(Smn1/SMN2)Mrph/J (JAX Strain #008714) and a strain carrying the Tia1tm1Andp allele on the C57BL/6 background (PMID:10921895).
Suggested Control Mice
Wild-type C57BL/6J (control for both, Smnc/c and Tia1 knockout) and/or B6.129-Smn1tm5(Smn1/SMN2)Mrph/J (RRID:IMSR_JAX:00714) as control for Tia1 knockout.

Colony and Husbandry Information

In the donor's laboratory, the mice werehoused under the standard conditions with a 12-h light/dark cycle, constant temperature (22±1ºC), and humidity (relative, 30%). All mice had free access to food and water.

Cryo-recovered strains distributed by the MMRRC at JAX are shipped to the customer from the Pathogen & Opportunistic-Free Animal Room G200 - see https://www.jax.org/jax-mice-and-services/customer-support/customer-service/animal-health/health-status-reports.

Mice recovered from a cryo-archive will have health surveillance performed on recipient females. Health reports will be provided prior to shipment. If you require additional health status information, please email csmmrrc@jax.org.

1 The distribution fee covers the expense of rederiving mice from a live mouse; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.

2 An aliquot contains a sufficient number of embryos (in one or more vials or straws and based on the transfer success rate of the MMRRC facility) to transfer into one to three recipients. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning embryo transfer success experienced in the recipient investigator's laboratory. Neither gender nor genotype ratios are guaranteed.

3 An aliquot is one straw or vial with sufficient sperm to recover at least one litter of mice, as per provided protocols, when performed at the MMRRC facility. The MMRRC makes no guarantee concerning the success of these procedures when performed outside the MMRRC facilities.

4 The distribution fee covers the expense of resuscitating mice from the cryo-archive; you will receive the resulting litter. The litter will contain at minimum one mutant carrier; the actual number of animals and the gender and genotype ratios will vary. (Typically, multiple breeder pairs can be established from the recovered litter.) Prior to shipment, the MMRRC will provide information about the animals recovered. If you anticipate or find that you need to request specific genotypes, genders or quantities of mice in excess of what is likely from a resuscitated litter, you may discuss available options and pricing with the supplying MMRRC facility.
