ABSTRACT
To explore possible host genes suppressing spontaneous B-lymphomagenesis in the mouse, expression of ecotropic murine leukemia virus (E-MuLV) and lymphoma development were observed in crosses between the pre-B lymphoma-prone SL/Kh and low-lymphoma strains of mice. E-MuLV expression was intensely inhibited in F1 hybrids with the strains either with the Fv-1b allele (BALB/C, C57BL/10, and A/J) or with the Fv-1nr allele (NZB). In these F1 mice, no lymphoma developed by 18 months of age. On the other hand, F1 hybrids with the strains with the Fv-1n allele [C3H/He, CBA/N, SJL, DBA/2, and MSM/Ms (hereafter referred to as MSM)], high or intermediate levels of E-MuLV expression were observed. Lymphoma incidence in these F1 hybrids, however, was low. This observation suggests the presence of non-Fv-1 dominant resistance genes in these strains. In an attempt to characterize such host genes, we analyzed crosses between SL/Kh mice and a wild mouse-derived inbred strain, MSM/Ms. The latter was susceptible to N-tropic virus expression, but (SL/Kh x MSM)F1 hybrids, did not develop and lymphomas. Of 60 SL/Kh x (SL/Kh x MSM)F1 hybrids, 14 B-lineage lymphomas, including 13 pre-B and 1 follicular center cell lymphoma, developed by 18 months of age. This was compatible with the hypothesis of two independently segregating dominant genes of MSM suppressing lymphomagenesis. By scanning all chromosomes for linkage of lymphoma susceptibility with polymorphic microsatellite loci, one significant linkage disequilibrium was found in the proximal segment of chromosome 17, containing D17MIT44 (map position 15.0) to D17MIT150 (position 33.3), and another linkage disequilibrium, in the midproximal segment of chromosome 18, containing D18MIT90 (map position 28.0) and D18MIT140 (37.0). All 13 pre-B lymphoma-bearing backcross mice were homozygous for SL/Kh-derived alleles at these loci. We named the gene on chromosome 17 Msmr1 (for MSM resistance 1) and that on chromosome 18 Msmr 2 (for MSM resistance 2).
