Abstract
We describe a novel model of insulin-deficient diabetes with a single copy of the gene encoding insulin 1 (Ins1) and no gene encoding insulin 2 (Ins2). We constructed five lines of mice: mice with two copies of Ins1 (NOD( Ins1+/+,Ins2-/-)), mice with a single copy of Ins1 (NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-)), mice with two copies of Ins2 (NOD( Ins1-/-,Ins2+/+)), mice with a single copy of Ins2 (NOD( Ins1-/-,Ins2+/-)) and NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-) mice with a transgene encoding B16:Ala proinsulin. By 10 weeks of age, all male NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-) mice were diabetic, whereas all female NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-) were not diabetic (p < 0.0001). In contrast, neither male nor female NOD( Ins1-/-,Ins2+/-) with a single copy of Ins2 (rather than single copy of Ins1) developed early diabetes and no mice with two copies of either gene developed early diabetes. Islets of the diabetic male NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-) at this early age had no lymphocyte infiltration. Instead there was heterogeneous (between islet cells) weak staining for insulin. Although only male NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-) mice developed diabetes, both male and female NOD( Ins1+/-,Ins2-/-) mice had markedly decreased insulin content. In NOD( Ins1+/+,Ins2-/-), there was also a significant decrease in in...Continue Reading
