G2CMine Data Warehouse
G2CMine integrates the scientific findings of the Genes to Cognition Programme that utilised neuroproteomics, psychiatric genetics, high-throughput mouse gene targeting combined with behavioural and electrophysiological phenotyping and informatics in order to develop a general strategy for understanding cognition at the molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience levels.
G2CMine provides comprehensive Gene Ontology, Mammalian Phenotype Ontology, Human Phenotype Ontology, UniProt, genetic and protein interactions, and regional mouse brain expression results, together with the phenotyping results of the G2C Programme.
Mutation
A mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line (AN0901, strain 129/Ola) with an insertional mutation in Gnb1 was obtained from Sanger Institute Gene Trap Resource (SIGTR - sanger.ac.uk/PostGenomics/genetrap/). The insertional mutation in AN0901 by the gene-trapping vector, pGT0lxr, that was designed to create an in-frame fusion between the 5' exons of the trapped gene and a reporter, βgeo (a fusion of β-galactosidase and neomycin phosphotransferase II) occurred in intron 6-7. Thus, the gene-trapped locus is predicted to yield a fusion transcript containing exons 1–6 of Gnb1 and β-geo.
The ES cells were injected into C57/BL6 blastocysts to create chimeric mice, which were bred with 129S5 mice to generate heterozygous (+/–) Gnb1-mutant mice. Those F1 heterozygous mice had been backcrossed with 129S5 mice for 1-2 times before being used for intercrossing to produce homozygous mutants.
Location of Gnb1 gene trap. Gnb1 is a 12 exon protein and contains a WD40 repeat domain (top). The GNB1 gene trap is located in intron 6-7.
Genotyping
Genomic DNA was isolated from ES cells or mouse tissues by Wizard SV 96 Genomic DNA purification system (Promega Cat A2371). Genotyping PCR consisted of a 562bp product amplified from the wild-type (wt) allele using a forward primer A (5'- GAGTATCTGAGGATAGCTAC -3') upstream of the cassette and a reverse primer B (5'- CTGCAACCACTACGCAGAC -3') in the wt sequence deleted by targeted mutation. A 370bp product was amplified from the targeted allele using primer A with reverse primer C (5’- CAGTCCTCTTCACATCCATG -3’), within the β-geo cassette. After enzymatic amplification for 35 cycles (45 seconds at 94 °C, 45 seconds at 55 °C, and 1 minute at 72 °C), the PCR products were size-fractionated on a 2% agarose gel in 1x Tris borate-EDTA buffer.
Primers used for genotyping (a,b & c). PCR genotyping of gene trap Gnb1 mice using a common forward primer, a, and reverse primers b and c to amplify the wt and mutant alleles respectively.
Expression
Total RNA (100µg) was isolated from ES cells with RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Cat 74104). RT-PCR was performed by generating first strand cDNA using Oligo(dT)12-18 primer (Invitrogen, Cat 18418-012) and superscript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen, Cat 18064-071). RT-PCR consisted of a 347bp product amplified from the wild-type (wt) cDNA using a forward primer X (5’- CAAATGCGGACCAGGAGAAC -3’) upstream of the cassette and a reverse primer Y (5’- CTGGTAACTATCTGATTGTC -3’) downstream of the insertion site. After enzymatic amplification for 35 cycles (45 seconds at 94 °C, 1 minute at 55 °C, and 1 minute at 72 °C), the PCR products were size-fractionated on a 2% agarose gel in 1x Tris borate-EDTA buffer.
Primers used for RT-PCR (x&y). RT-PCR - forward primer X (in exon 5) and reverse primer Y (in exon 8). Amplification is weaker in homozygous mice where the gene trap cassette has been inserted.
Breeding
Birth of Gnb1-/- mice did not follow Mendelian ratios with 17% of offspring being homozygous knockouts. Genotypes from Gnb1+/- intercrosses identified 53 wt, 148 Gnb1+/- and 41 Gnb1-/- progeny (Χ2 p= 0.001). Male and female Gnb1-/- mice developed normally to adulthood, exhibited normal body size and no gross abnormalities. Gnb1 mice were maintained by backcrossing onto the 129S5/SvEvBrd background; heterozygous males and females were fertile and used to set up intercrosses to generate homozygous and wildtype mice to study.
Overview
Mutant mice showed medium overall behavioural difference from wildtypes, with six of 16 behaviour variables significantly impacted in these mutant mice. In the elevated plus maze task, two behavioural variables of five were significantly impacted in mutants. In the open field/novel object exploration task, one behavioural variable, OF NOE total distance, was significantly increased in mutants. In the fear learning task, two behavioural variables of two were significantly impacted in mutants. In the contextual memory task, one behavioural variable, contextual memory mean, was significantly decreased in mutants. Only rotarod and cued memory tasks were unaffected. Definitions of variables may be found below.
