Genetic Alterations

Conditional-ready allele using targeted substitution in the C1qbp gene (aka p32 gene): an FRT-flanked neomycin resistance cassette with a 3' loxP site was inserted upstream of exon 3. An additional loxP site was inserted downstream of exon 3. Flp-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette; Cre-mediated recombination deleted exon 3.

    Phenotype
    Animals with the floxed allele show a wild-type phenotype.

    The whole-body deletion of the p32 results in an embryonic lethal phenotype. Heterozygous mice (p32 +/−) are resistant to age- and high-fat diet-induced ailments, including obesity, hyperglycemia, and hepatosteatosis. Notably, p32 +/− mice are apparently healthy, demonstrate an increased lean-to-fat ratio, and show dramatically improved insulin sensitivity despite prolonged high-fat diet feeding. Also observed were increased oxygen consumption and heat production, indicating that heterozygotes expend more energy. The analysis revealed that haploinsufficiency for p32 impairs glucose oxidation, which results in a compensatory increase in fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis. These metabolic alterations increase both aerobic and anaerobic energy expenditure. Collectively, the data show that p32 plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and represents a potential novel target for the development of anti-obesity drugs.

    Strain Development

    The development is based on unspecified ESCs derived from 129S6/SvEvTac. Male chimeric mice were mated to C57BL/6J females and resulted in heterozygous agouti mice. The heterozygous F1 agouti females were mated to B6N.129S4-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(FLP1)Dym/J (RRID:IMSR_JAX:016226) male to delete the neo cassette. Crossing to B6.FVB-Tg(EIIa-cre)C5379Lmgd/J (RRID:IMSR_JAX:003724) was used to knock out the gene. p32 heterozygous (neo-) males were used to initiate five backcrosses to C57BL/6J mice with selected deletion of the p32 allele. Maintenance on C57BL/6J background to N12 thereafter.
