Gene interaction and single gene effects in colon tumour susceptibility in mice

Abstract

To dissect the multigenic control of colon tumour susceptibility in the mouse we used the set of 20 CcS/Dem (CcS) recombinant congenic (RC) strains. Each CcS strain carries a unique, random subset of approximately 12.5% of the genome of strain STS/A (STS) on the genetic background of BALB/cHeA (BALB/c). Previously, applying a protocol of 26 injections of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), we detected two susceptibility loci, Scc1 and Scc2, on chromosome 2 (refs 4, 5). Using a shorter tumour-induction procedure, combining DMH and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) treatment, we demonstrate that BALB/c, STS and most CcS strains are relatively resistant. The strain CcS-19, however, is susceptible, probably due to a combination of BALB/c and STS alleles at several loci. Analysis of 192 (BALB/c x CcS-19) F2 mice revealed, in addition to the Scc1/Scc2 region, three new susceptibility loci: Scc3 on chromosome 1, Scc4 on chromosome 17 and Scc5 on chromosome 18. Scc4 and Scc5 have no apparent individual effect, but show a strong reciprocal interaction. Their BALB/c and STS alleles are not a priori susceptible or resistant but the genotype at one locus determines the effect of the allele at the second locus and vice versa. These findings and the acco...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
