Candidate Genes

J:91835

The correlation between gene expression and dietary interaction was examined in a population of (BALB/cStCrlfC3H/Nctr x VY/WffC3Hf/Nctr-A(vy)/a)F1 animals. A/a and A/Avy animals were placed on a 70% (calorie restricted) or 100% (non-restricted) diet andliver mRNA levels were assessed for over 18,000 genes using DNA microarrays. Twenty-eight known genes showing statistically significant differential expression between the 70% and 100% calorie diets and A/a and A/Avy genotypes mapped near known diabesity QTLs. These genes may be considered further for candidate genes.

On mouse Chromosome 10, candidate genes for diabesity QTL Igfp3q2 (46 cM) are Aes (43 cM) and Hsp90b1 (49 cM). Aes shows differential expression between A/a and A/Avy animals on both the restricted and unrestricted diets while Hsp90b1 shows differential expression between the restricted and unrestricted diets on the A/Avy background. At another locus, Mdm2 (66 cM) is a candidate gene for diabesity QTL Insq4 (59 cM). Mdm2 shows differential expression between the restricted and unrestricted diets on the A/a background.

J:64138

The SMXA (SM/J x A/J) RI line was informative in mapping suggestive QTLs for Body Weight, Insulin, Triglyceride and Phospholipid in selected RI Strains. In female mice a QTL (Insq4) influencing Insulin levels in blood mapped to mouse Chromosome 10 and was associated with D10Mit70.
