Substitution of Dmo1 with normal alleles results in decreased manifestation of diabetes in OLETF rats

Abstract: Improvements in metabolic parameters and histopathological scores show that correction of the Dmo1 genetic pathway in the diabetic and mildly obese OLETF rat strain produces wide-ranging therapeutic effects. Thus, this pathway might represent a new drug target also applicable to humans.

“…Our earlier initial data showed that the region between D1Rat76 and D1Rat459 harbours the Dmo1 causative gene; 9–11 this was then narrowed down to 1.7 cM between D1Rat461 and D1Rat459 , physically corresponding to, at most, 1.1 Mb 12 …”

“…We used interval mapping methods to elucidate the most likely Dmo1 interval in BC5:F1 animals, which show various genotypes across the approximate 30 cM interval between D1Rat76 and D1Rat460 . Because obesity, dyslipidaemia and hyperglycaemia correlate well in the original OLETF strain and in our congenic strains 1,6–8 and all logarithm of odds (LOD) peaks for Dmo1 phenotypes, including bodyweight ( P = 0.005), abdominal fat weight ( P = 9.65 × 10 −4 ), plasma cholesterol ( P = 1.56 × 10 −6 ), plasma triglyceride ( P = 1.96 × 10 −8 ) and plasma glucose levels after oral glucose challenges ( P = 5.9 × 10 −4 to 0.04), accumulate at the same position represented by D1Rat90 marker (all data are for the phenotypes at 30 weeks; TK Watanabe et al. , unpubl.…”
