Disease relevance of Mice, Inbred AKR

  • These results indicate that the particular Fv-1 allele of AKR mice provides a permissive genetic background for endogenous ecotropic and xenotropic MuLV expression and that these viral activities may be etiologically involved in the development of spontaneous thymic lymphoma in the mouse [1].
  • The spleen colony assay was used to examine the effect of thymidine (dThd) on 5-fluorouracil (FUra) cytotoxicity in two transplantable leukemias, AKR (in AKR mice) and L1210 [in (BALB/c x DBA/2)F1 mice], in vivo [2].
  • Of 3 thymomas in 6-month-old 3-methylcholanthrene-treated AKR mice, all expressed c-myb and 2 expressed c-myc [3].
  • A previous report described the isolation of a directly transforming retrovirus, AKT8, from a spontaneous thymoma of an AKR mouse [4].
  • Adriamycin inhibited the endogenous RNA-, poly (A)-d(T)12-, and calf thymus DNA-catalyzed reaction of reverse transcriptase from AKR mouse murine leukemia virus (AKR-MLV) [5].
 

High impact information on Mice, Inbred AKR

  • The c-myc gene was strongly implicated in T-cell neoplasia when 15-25% of T lymphomas arising in AKR mice, a strain prone to leukaemia, were found to have retroviral inserts near c-myc [6].
  • Moreover, it was shown that IgM can potentiate the response in C5-deficient AKR mice, thus demonstrating that the complement factors acting before C5 are the crucial ones [7].
  • Genetic mapping of the ecotropic virus-inducing locus Akv-2 of the AKR mouse [8].
  • Thymocytes of AKR mice express two species of gp70, the envelope glycoprotein of murine leukemia virus (MuLV), encoded by the env gene [9].
  • Our conclusions are: (a) It is confirmed that the AKR mouse has two unlinked chromosomal genes, Akv-1 and Akv-2, each of which can independently give rise to the life-long high output of MuLV that is characteristic of AKR mice [10].

Gene context of Mice, Inbred AKR

  • Deletion of Gadd45a in leukemia/lymphoma-prone AKR mice decreased the latency for LBL [31].
  • In the present study, we have examined the effect of age, sex and gonadal steroids (estrogen and testosterone) on the level of ERalpha and ERbeta in the cerebral cortex of AKR mice [32].
  • MLNC from infected susceptible B10.BR and AKR mice produced large amounts of IFN-gamma in the relative absence of IL-4 and IL-9 [33].
  • AKR mice showed no decrease in IL-2 production even at 9 months of age, but there was an increase in IFN-gamma production showing levels lower than those in SAMP8 mice [34].
  • IL-5 levels failed to rise significantly above normal in B10.BR mice whilst in AKR mice high levels of IL-5 were detected early post-infection (p.i.) but levels decreased dramatically as the infection proceeded to reach normal levels by Day 34 [33].
