C57BL/6J (B6) mice were purchased from the Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co. Ltd. Female C57BL/6J (B6) mice (20–25 g) were housed in a temperature-controlled environment at 23–25 °C with a 12/12 h light/dark cycle and were given access to food and water without restriction. All care and handling of mice were performed according to the standard guidelines for the care and use of experimental animals in Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences&Peking Union Medical College Institute of Radiation Medicine.

Dietary Manipulations in C57Bl/6J Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male, C57Bl/6J (B6) mice were purchased at 2 mo old from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA, USA). After delivery, the mice were allowed to adapt to the animal core facility for 1 wk before the start of the experiment. All mice were group-housed on a 12/12-h dark/light cycle with free access to food and water. If not otherwise stated, the mice received a normal chow diet (R70; Lantmännen, Stockholm, Sweden). The following special diets were fed to 3-mo-old B6 mice for 8 wk: a high-sucrose diet (HSD; 32% sucrose dissolved in tap water); a high-fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat, TD.06414; Envigo, Huntingdon, United Kingdom); a HFHSD (HFD + HSD); a HFHFrD [HFD + high-fructose diet (HFrD; 32% fructose in tap water)]; and a control diet [managed formulation–purified ingredient diet (5P76; LabDiet, St. Louis, MO, USA)]; with tap water. The control diet given to the control group differed from the R70 diet all animals received before and some mice received up to 8 wk after the diet intervention. Consequently, all the animals underwent the same stress provoked by diet change. All experiments were performed in accordance with the Karolinska Institutet’s guidelines for the care and use of animals in research and were approved by the institute’s Animal Ethics Committee.

C57BL/6J (B6) mice (purchased from Charles River Laboratories France) and Collaborative Cross CC001 and CC071 mice (purchased from the Systems Genetics Core Facility, University of North Carolina and bred at the Institut Pasteur) were maintained under specific-pathogen-free conditions with a 14-h light and 10-h dark cycle and ad libitum food and water in the Institut Pasteur animal facility. In all experiments, mice were killed by cervical dislocation. All experimental protocols were approved by the Institut Pasteur Ethics Committee (dap190107) and authorized by the French Ministry of Research (#19469), in compliance with French and European regulations.

High-Fat Diet Feeding in B6 Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male C57BL6/j (B6) mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories at the age of 6 weeks. Mice, housed three to five animals per cage, were acclimated to our animal facilities for 2 weeks from arrival in a temperature- and humidity-controlled room with 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycles and ad libitum access to water and food (R70, Lantmännen, Sweden). At the age of 8 weeks, all mice were fed an HFD (60% kcal from fat, Open Source Diets D12492, Research Diets). The duration of the diet intervention varied depending on the experimental design, from 14 to 24 weeks. Animal care and experiments were carried out according to the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee at Karolinska Institutet.

Genetic Mapping of Mouse Strains

C57BL/6J (B6) mice were purchased from Charles River Laboratories France. Collaborative Cross strains (CC001/Unc, CC071/TauUnc, CC005/TauUnc, CC011/Unc, CC026/GeniUnc, CC061/GeniUnc, CC021/Unc, CC006/TauUnc, CC025/GeniUnc, CC039/Unc, CC060/Unc) were purchased from the Systems Genetics Core Facility, University of North Carolina and bred at the Institut Pasteur. Irf3 Irf7 double KO mice (C57BL/6J-Bcl2l12/Irf3tm1TtgIrf7tm1Ttg, [32 (link),42 (link)]) were bred at the Institut Pasteur and backcrossed to B6 mice to generate Irf3 single KO mice (B6-Irf3 KO). Genetic mapping was performed on MEFs derived from (CC001 x CC071) x CC071 and CC071 x (CC001 x CC071) backcross embryos. For the quantitative complementation test, MEFs were derived from CC071, B6-Irf3 KO and (B6-Irf3+/KO x CC071) embryos. In vivo experiments were performed on B6, B6-Irf3 KO, CC071, (CC071 x Irf3 KO) F1 and CC071 x (CC071 x Irf3 KO) backcross mice. All crosses are described as female x male. All mice were maintained as described previously [15 (link)].

C57BL/6J (B6) mice were purchased from Charles River Japan. PWK mice were purchased from RIKEN BioResource Center, Tsukuba, Japan. Mice were housed in box cages and maintained on a 12-h light/12-h dark cycle. B6 and PWK male mice and F1 male progeny obtained by reciprocal crosses between them were placed in single cages and fed either a normal diet (Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ, USA, catalog [cat.] #D06072701) or a HFD (Research Diets, #D07012601) for 15 weeks, starting at the age of 6 weeks.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
