Lymphopenia in the BB Rat Model of Type 1 Diabetes is Due to a Mutation in a Novel Immune-Associated Nucleotide (Ian)-Related Geneстатья из журнала
Аннотация: The BB (BioBreeding) rat is one of the best models of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes and is used to study non-MHC loci contributing to Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes in the diabetes-prone BB (BBDP) rat is polygenic, dependent upon mutations at several loci. Iddm1 , on chromosome 4, is responsible for a lymphopenia ( lyp ) phenotype and is essential to diabetes. In this study, we report the positional cloning of the Iddm1/lyp locus. We show that lymphopenia is due to a frameshift deletion in a novel member ( Ian5 ) of the Immune-Associated Nucleotide (IAN)-related gene family, resulting in truncation of a significant portion of the protein. This mutation was absent in 37 other inbred rat strains that are nonlymphopenic and nondiabetic. The IAN gene family, lying within a tight cluster on rat chromosome 4, mouse chromosome 6, and human chromosome 7, is poorly characterized. Some members of the family have been shown to be expressed in mature T cells and switched on during thymic T-cell development, suggesting that Ian5 may be a key factor in T-cell development. The lymphopenia mutation may thus be useful not only to elucidate Type 1 diabetes, but also in the function of the Ian gene family as a whole.
