Resumen: | The mouse is the most commonly used animal for modelling human disease. New approaches for generating genetically manipulated mouse models to represent human disease, as well as target the function of specific genes, has increased the importance of mice in biomedical science. For the correct interpretation of alterations in mouse phenotype the basic morphology of background mouse strains must be known. Despite ongoing efforts to create publicly available baseline phenotypic data, the information concerning spontaneous lesions in wild-type mice is incomplete and scattered so far, and further studies are needed. We addressed this problem by screening haematoxylin-eosin stained sections of brain, reproductive organs, urinary bladder, kidney, thyroid, parathyroid, heart, lung, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, adrenal glands, stomach, intestine, liver, skin and pancreas of six commonly used inbred mouse strains (C57BL6/J, C57BL6/NTac, C3HeB/FeJ, BALB/cByJ, 129P2/OlaHsd and FVB/N) for inherent spontaneous morphological lesions. Interesting spontaneous phenotypes were seen in morphology of the liver, pancreas, adrenal glands, lungs, intestines and heart. In conclusion, care should be taken when choosing the background mouse strain for genetic manipulations, since different mouse strains harbour different inherent lesions that can affect the function of targeted genes, interpretation of results and translation of results to model human disease. |
