We have previously proposed that mice trisomic for chromosome 16 will provide an animal model of human trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). However, the value of this model is limited to some extent because trisomy 16 mouse fetuses do not survive as live-born animals. Therefore, in an effort to produce viable mice with cells trisomic for chromosome 16, we have used an aggregation technique to generate trisomy 16 ↔ diploid (Ts 16 ↔ 2n) chimeras. A total of 79 chimeric mice were produced, 11 of which were Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeras. Seven of these Ts 16 ↔ 2n mice were analyzed as fetuses, just prior to birth, and 4 were analyzed as live-born animals. Unlike nonchimeric Ts 16 mouse fetuses which die shortly before birth with edema, congenital heart disease, and thymic and splenic hypoplasia, all but 1 of the Ts 16 ↔ 2n animals were viable and phenotypically normal. The oldest of the live-born Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeras was 12 months old at the time of necropsy. Ts 16 cells, identified by coat color, enzyme marker, and/or karyotype analyses, comprised 50–60% of the brain, heart, lung, liver, and kidney in the 7 Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeric fetuses and 30–40% of these organs in the 4 live-born Ts 16 ↔ 2n animals. Ts 16 cells comprised an average of 40% of the thymus and 80% of the spleen in the Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeras analyzed as fetuses, with no evidence of thymic or splenic hypoplasia. However, we observed a marked deficiency to Ts 16 cells in the blood, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow of live-born Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeras as compared to 2n ↔ 2n controls. These results demonstrate that although the Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeras were, with one exception, viable and phenotypically normal, each animal contained a significant proportion of trisomic cells in a variety of tissues, including the brain. Furthermore, our results suggest that although the abnormal development of Ts 16 thymus and spleen cells observed in Ts 16 fetuses is largely corrected in Ts 16 ↔ 2n fetuses, Ts 16 erythroid and lymphoid cells have a severe proliferative disadvantage as compared to diploid cells in older live-born Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeras. Ts 16 ↔ 2n chimeric mice will provide a valuable tool for studying the functional consequences of aneuploidy and may provide insight into the mechanisms by which trisomy 21 leads to developmental abnormalities in man.
