Strain-dependent embryonic lethality in mice lacking the retinoblastoma-related p130 gene

The retinoblastoma-related p130 protein is a member of a conserved family, consisting of Rb, p107 and p130, which are believed to play important roles in cell-cycle control and cellular differentiation. We have generated a null mutation in p130 by gene targeting and crossed the null allele into Balb/cJ and C57BL/6J strains of mice. In an enriched Balb/cJ genetic background, p130(-/-) embryos displayed arrested growth and died between embryonic days 11 and 13. Histological analysis revealed varying degrees of disorganization in neural and dermamyotomal structures. Immunohistochemistry with antibody reactive with Islet-1 indicated markedly reduced numbers of neurons in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia. Immunohistochemistry with antibody reactive with desmin indicated a similar reduction in the number of differentiated myocytes in the myotome. The myocardium of mutant embryos was abnormally thin and resembled an earlier staged two-chambered heart consisting of the bulbus cordis and the ventricular chamber. TUNEL analysis indicated the presence of extensive apoptosis in various tissues including the neural tube, the brain, the dermomyotome, but not the heart. Immunohistochemistry with antibody reactive with PCNA revealed increased cellular proliferation in the neural tube and the brain, and decreased proliferation in the heart. The placentas of p130(-/-) embryos did not display elevated apoptosis and were indistinguishable from wild type suggesting that the phenotype was not due to placental failure. Following a single cross with the C57BL/6 mice, p130(-/-) animals were derived that were viable and fertile. These results indicate that p130 in a Balb/cJ genetic background plays an essential role that is required for normal development. Moreover, our experiments establish that second-site modifier genes exist that have an epistatic relationship with p130.
