Genetic Alterations
This mouse line contains deletions in three glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene families outlines below:
  • 4: Gstt genes (Gstt1, Gstt2, Gstt3, and Gstt4) spanning approximately 65 kb on chromosome 10
    • The Ddt gene was also removed as part of the Gstt locus deletion
  • 7: Gstm genes (Gstm1–Gstm7) located within a 150 kb region on chromosome III
  • 2: Gstp genes (Gstp1 and Gstp2) on chromosome XIX
    • along with a third related gene (Gstp3, also known as BC021614), situated ~15 kb telomeric to Gstp2
      • identified as a potential new member of the Gstp family upon sequence analysis

    Phenotype

    Deletion of the loci encoding three glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene families resulted in a loss of up to 75% of total GST activity in the liver, kidney, and lungs of these mice. Despite this, GstPMT mice are healthy and fertile with normal life expectancy. Morphologic evaluation of tissues showed no gross abnormalities, nor did histologic evaluation reveal an overt impact on development. However, the mice do show increased sensitivity to environmental toxins.

    Gene Specific Genotyping:

    To request gene-specific and other genotyping services for a strain, please contact the distribution MMRRC Center for more information.

    Background Genetic Quality:

    The MMRRC has developed a Genetic Quality Control pipeline using the MiniMUGA array to provide additional information to identify and validate genetic backgrounds of MMRRC strains. For more information on whether genetic background data is available, please contact MMRRC_GeneticQC@med.unc.edu. Note: that MiniMUGA genetic background data is not available on all strains, but can be ordered if desired.

    Strain Development
    Replacement-type targeting vectors were constructed from the following 129 derived bacterial artificial chromosomes: Gstp: bMQ415B6, Gstt: bMQ379m08, Gstm: bMQ403h10, and bMQ75m22, Gstm1: bMQ386j24.

    The region of the mouse genome to be deleted was replaced with a phosphoglycerate kinase–driven neomycin resistance gene. 129S6-derived ES cells were cultured and DNA was introduced by electroporation. Cells were selected in G418 and were evaluated by PCR and Southern blot analysis. Correctly targeted cells were introduced into C57BL/6 blastocysts, which were returned to B6D2F1/J foster mothers. The 129S6 mice were purchased from Taconic and bred to chimeras to maintain the deleted loci on this genetic background. Heterozygous animals were intercrossed to obtain mice homozygous for the deletion as well as 129S6 mice. These animals were used to establish mutant breeding colonies and an in-house 129S6 colony. The mutant mice were age and sex matched at weaning and housed together until used in an experiment. All mice used in these studies were coisogenic for the locus under study.


    Disclaimer: If MMRRC Strain Genetic Quality Control (GQC; based on MiniMUGA genotyping and analysis) has been completed for this strain, the information might differ from the genetic background information provided by the submitter. MiniMUGA genetic analysis is done on a strain’s tissue samples taken when archived by or ordered from the assigned MMRRC Center.

    Order Information

    Limited quantities of breeder mice (recovered litter) are available from a cryoarchive; recovered litter usually available to ship in 3 to 4 months.

    Cryopreserved material may be available upon request, please inquire to mmrrc@med.unc.edu for more information.

    A Commercial License Agreement from the Donor is required for for-profit entities to use this strain. For more information, please contact Carmen Melvin.

    Distribution of this strain requires submission of the MMRRC Conditions of Use (COU). A link to the COU web form will be provided via email after an order has been placed; the form should be completed then or the email forwarded to your institutional official for completion.

    Additional charges may apply for any special requests. Shipping costs are in addition to the basic distribution/resuscitation fees. Information on shipping costs and any additional charges will be provided by the supplying MMRRC facility.

    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.
