The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse spontaneously develops autoimmune-mediated diseases such as diabetes and Sjögren's syndrome. To investigate whether NOD genes also promote autoimmune-mediated arthritis we established a NOD strain with an MHC class II fragment containing the A(q) class II gene predisposing for collagen induced arthritis (NOD.Q). However, this mouse was resistant to arthritis in contrast to other A(q) expressing strains such as B10.Q and DBA/1. To determine the major resistance factor/s, a genetic analysis was performed. (NOD.Q x B10.Q)F1 mice were resistant, whereas 27% of the (NOD.Q x B10.Q)F2 mice developed severe arthritis. Genetic mapping of 353 F2 mice revealed two loci associated with arthritis. One locus was found on chromosome 2 (LOD score 9.8), at the location of the complement factor 5 (C5) gene. The susceptibility allele was from B10.Q, which contains a productive C5 encoding gene in contrast to NOD.Q. The other significant locus was found on chromosome 1 (LOD score 5.6) close to the Fc-gamma receptor IIb gene, where NOD carried the susceptible allele. An interaction between the two loci was observed, indicating that they operate on the same or on interacting pathways. The genetic control of arthritis is unique in comparison to diabetes, since none of these loci have been identified in analysis of diabetes susceptibility.

pubmed:articleTitle
Genetic control of collagen-induced arthritis in a cross with NOD and C57BL/10 mice is dependent on gene regions encoding complement factor 5 and FcgammaRIIb and is not associated with loci controlling diabetes.
