- Metabolic disease include diseases related to energy metabolism, such as, but not limited to, obesity, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance syndrome, diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, anorexia nervosa and cachexia.
- transgenic non-human animal includes the founder transgenic non-human animals and progeny of the founders, as well as cells, cell lines and tissues from such animals in which one or more of the cells of the animal includes one or more transgenes.
- Transgenic non-human animals can be farm animals such as pigs, goats, sheep, cows, horses, and rabbits, rodents such as rats, guinea pigs, and mice, and non-human primates such as baboons, monkeys, and chimpanzees. Transgenic mice are particularly useful.
- a transgene is exogenous DNA which is integrated into the genome of a cell from which a transgenic animal develops and which remains in the genome of the mature animal, thereby directing the expression of an encoded gene product in one or more cell types or tissues of the transgenic animal.
- a "knock-out" of a gene means an alteration or disruption in the sequence of the gene that results in a decrease of function of the target gene, preferably such that target gene expression is undetectable or insignificant.
- a knock-out of an endogenous gene means that function of the gene has been substantially decreased so that expression is not detectable or only present at insignificant levels.
- the terms “disruption” and “alteration” connote a partial or complete reduction in the expression and/or function of the GPRlOl gene. Alteration or disruption of the GPRlOl gene can be accomplished by a variety of methods known to those of skill in the art. For example, gene targeting using homologous recombination, mutagenesis (e.g., point mutation) and antisense technology can be used to disrupt a GPRlOl gene.
- homologous recombination refers to a type of homologous recombination which occurs as a consequence of the introduction of a targeting construct (e.g., vector) into a mammalian cell (e.g., an ES cell) which is designed to locate and recombine with a corresponding portion of the nucleic acid sequence of the genomic locus targeted for alteration (e.g., disruption) thereby introducing an exogenous recombinant nucleic acid sequence capable of conferring a planned alteration to the endogenous gene.
- a targeting construct e.g., vector
- a mammalian cell e.g., an ES cell
- homologous recombination is a process (e.g., method) by which a particular DNA sequence can by replaced by an exogenous genetically engineered sequence.
- regions of the targeting vector which have been genetically engineered to be homologous (e.g., complimentary) to the endogenous nucleotide sequence of the gene which is targeted for disruption line up or recombine with each other such that the nucleotide sequence of the targeting vector is incorporated into (e.g, integrates with) the corresponding position of the endogenous gene.
- a "construct" is meant a recombinant nucleic acid, generally recombinant
- the term "genotype" refers to the genetic makeup of an animal with respect to the GPRlOl chromosomal locus. More specifically, the term genotype refers to the status of the animal's GPRlOl alleles. GPRlOl is located on the X chromosome. Since female mice have two X chromosomes, mice can be of the following three genotypes: wildtype mice
- This X chromosome inactivation is random cell to cell and is often referred to as "lyonization".
- roughly half the cells in the organism will express no GPRlOl (because the X chromosome bearing the wild-type allele ( ⁇ GPR101+ ) has been inactivated) while the other half of the cells in the organism will express normal levels of GPRlOl (because the X chromosome bearing the "null” allele ( ⁇ GPR10 '- nu11 ) was inactivated, and hence the X chromosome bearing the wild-type allele ( ⁇ GPR101+ ) remains active).
- mice have one Y chromosome (which lacks a GPRlOl gene) and one X chromosome (which has the GPRlOl gene).
- mice can only be of one or another genotype: wild-type (Y, ⁇ GPR101+ ) m j ce which have normal amounts of GPRlOl in every cell and knockout (Y, ⁇ GPR101 - nu11 ) m i ce that lack any GPRlOl in every cell.
- wild-type Y, ⁇ GPR101+
- knockout Y, ⁇ GPR101 - nu11
- m i ce that lack any GPRlOl in every cell.
- the GPRlOl knock-out mammal of the present invention can manifest a particular phenotype.
- the term "phenotype” refers to the resulting biochemical or physiological consequences attributed to a particular genotype.
- the GPRlOl knock-out mammal has altered metabolic homeostasis.
- “Knock-out” transgenics can be transgenic animals having a heterozygous knock-out of a gene or a homozygous knock-out of a gene. “Knock-outs” also include conditional knock-outs, where alteration of the target gene can occur upon, for example, exposure of the animal to a substance that promotes target gene alteration, introduction of an enzyme that promotes recombination at the target gene site (e.g., Cre in the Cre-lox system), or other method for directing the target gene alteration postnatally.
- an enzyme that promotes recombination at the target gene site e.g., Cre in the Cre-lox system
- Recombineering is a homologous recombination-based, highly efficient genetic engineering system that can be used to introduce mutations in a target sequence that is part of a vector, such as a BAC.
- Methods of recombineering are known to those skilled in the art (for example see Zhang et at, Nature Biotech. 18: 1314-7, 2000; Zhang et at, Nature Genetics 20: 123-8 (1998; and Datsenko and Wanner, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 97: 6640-5 (2000). Reviews of recombineering can be found in Court, et al., Annu. Rev. Genet.
- constitutively active receptor shall mean a receptor stabilized in an active state by means other than through binding of the receptor to its ligand or a chemical equivalent thereof.
- a constitutively active receptor may be endogenous or non-endogenous.
- Constutively activated receptor shall mean an endogenous receptor that has been modified so as to be constitutively active or to be more constitutively active.

- the microinjected eggs are implanted into a host female, and the progeny are screened for the expression of the transgene.
- Transgenic animals may be produced from the fertilized eggs from a number of animals including, but not limited to reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and fish.
- the transgenic animals may be obtained by utilizing embryonic stem (ES) cells for the generation of the transgenes.

It is understood that such cells refer not only to the particular subject cell but to the progeny or potential progeny of such a cell. Because certain modifications may occur in succeeding generations due to either mutation or environmental influences, such progeny may not, in fact, be identical to the parent cell, but are still included within the scope of the term as used herein.

- modulating or modulator” or modulate refers to agonizing or antagonizing the GPRlOl receptor.
- transgenic non-human animals of the invention can be used to identify a compound or composition effective for the treatment or prevention of diseases related to energy metabolism.
- Compounds or compositions can be identified by administering a test compound or composition to a transgenic non-human animal of the invention or by contacting the test compound or composition with an organ, a tissue (e.g., skeletal muscle) or cells (e.g., neuronal cells or muscle cells) derived from the transgenic non-human animal. Effects of the test compound or composition on the energy metabolism on the transgenic non-human animal, organ, tissues or cells are evaluated. For example, a candidate agent can be assessed in the transgenic non-human animals. Test compounds or compositions that alter energy metabolism can be effective for the treatment or prevention of diseases related to energy metabolism.

If the test compound or composition produces an effect in both wildtype mice and GPRlOl knock-out mice, then the test compound or composition is not producing its effects by changing GRPlOl activity.
- test compound or composition can be tested in GPRlOl knock-out mice. For example, if effects seen in wildtype mice are also seen in GPRlOl knock-out mice, then the test compound or composition is not specific for GPRlOl .
- the GPRlOl knock-out mice can be used to determine whether toxicity caused by a test compound or composition is caused by altering GPRlOl activity (on-target toxicity) or some other mechanism (off-target toxicity). For example, if a test compound or composition causes a toxic or undesirable effect in wildtype mice but not in GPRlOl knock-out mice, then the toxic effect is a byproduct of altering GPRlOl activity (an on-target effect). If the test compound or composition causes a toxic or undesirable effect in both wildtype mice and GPRlOl knock-out mice, then the toxic effect of the test compound or composition is not related to any changes in the activity of GPRlOl (an off-target effect).
- the GPRlOl constitutively active mice may be particularly useful for testing, for example, a test compound or composition that might decrease the activity of GPR 101.
- a test compound or composition might be useful for stimulating food intake in patients with anorexia nervosa or cachexia. Since the receptor is activated in these mice, they should be sensitive to potential inhibitors of GPRlOl activity.
- a replacement targeting construct was prepared using a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) genomic clone containing -100 kb upstream and -40 kb downstream sequence of GPRlOl .
- the BAC clone was engineered such that a 2216 bp portion of GPRlOl sequence (NCBI accession number NC 000086) spanning the coding exon, including the start codon, was removed and replaced with an Ires-Cre-Frt-Kanamycin-Frt (Ires-Cre FKF) cassette.
- the genomic DNA sequence for GPRlOl is in NC_000086 and is from position 54756894 to 54749845 on the assembly.
- the primers used to engineer the deletion were: (SEQ ID NO: 1) HD73 Forward 5'- TCC TCT GCA AGG CAC TAA CCC TAG CCA CAT GTT TCT CTC GTC CTC AAT CTA GTG ATG TAA TTC CGC CCC TCT CCC T-3' and (SEQ ID NO: 2) HD74 Reverse 5'-CCT AGC TCC TCA TTT CAG GCT TGC CCT TTT CTG GAT CCC TTT TGA AGA CCT AAA CAA AAT ATT AAC GCT TAC A-3.
- a 1 1.4 kb portion of BAC containing the deletion was inserted into pCR-Blunt containing Zeocin. This targeting plasmid was then linearized and electroporated into embryonic stem cells. Targeted clones were identified by PCR analysis using primers spanning the 3' as well as 5' end of the targeted locus (FIG. 1). Cells expanded from targeted ES clones were injected into C57BL6 blastocysts and germline transmitting chimeric animals were obtained and then mated with FLPe-recombinase mice.
- a targeting construct to generate a constitutively activated form of GPRlOl with A397 ⁇ K397 was created using standard techniques involving recombineering.
- a galK positive and counterselection scheme was used to make the point mutation in the GPRlOl BAC (Warming, S. et ah, "Simple and Highly Efficient BAC Recombineering Using galK Selection," Nucleic Acids Research, 33: 1-12 (2005), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
- the modified BAC was then inserted into a plasmid and injected into blastocysts for generation of a mouse harboring a point mutation.
- GPRlOl knock-out mice at eight weeks of age also exhibit alterations in overall patterns of food consumption as shown in FIG. 5.
- the GPRlOl knockout mice consumed larger meals during the dark phase.
- GPRlOl knock-out mice have an increase in body weight and food intake, and, therefore, the GPRlOl knock-out mice can be useful in identifying agonists and antagonists of GPRlOl, which can be used to treat metabolic diseases.
- GPRlOlKO mice fed a chow diet weigh more than wildtype controls (FIG. 6).
