RNA-sequencing of lung RNA from mice with compound mutations in ADAR1 and MAVS, ZBP1 or RIPK3.
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of MAVS, ZBP1 and RIPK3 in the phenotype that develops when ADAR1 activity is impaired, in particular when the Za domain of ADAR1 is mutated. Mice homozygous for a Za domain-mutant allele of Adar1 (Adar1mZa/mZa mice) and mice carrying one mZa and one null Adar1 allele (Adar1-/mZa mice) were compared with control mice that were either wild type or heterozygous for the Adar1 mZa allele (Adar1wt/mZa mice). The effects of MAVS deficiency, RIPK3 deficiency, ZBP1 deficiency or ZBP1 Za domain mutations were assessed by analysing compound mutant mice. Given the early postnatal lethal phenotype that develops in Adar1-/mZa mice, comparisons were made in RNA isolated from lung tissue from newborn mice of each genotype (5 mice per genotype). As Adar1-/mZa mice additionally lacking Mavs or Zbp1 are viable, adult mice (15-20 weeks of age) were also used for several compound mutations as donors of lung tissue.
