Since human studies on tumor susceptibility alleles require vast numbers of DNA samples from both cancer patients and well-matched controls, their investigation and identification in humans have been complemented using mouse models. However, a number of confounding factors are associated with this type of research, including heterogeneity, weak genetic interactions, and lifestyle habits. Inbred strains relatively recently established from wild mice are often more resistant to carcinogenic stimulation and various pathogens than standard inbred mouse strains. A Japanese wild-derived inbred mouse strain, MSM/Ms has been used to map tumor resistance loci as well as other Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) in Japan. Furthermore, genetic tools have been developed with MSM/Ms. MSM/Ms genomic sequences are currently available, which have greatly promoted the identification of tumor resistance loci as well as genes controlling quantitative variations and provide a more detailed understanding of gene function. MSM/Ms is a unique inbred mouse strain derived from the Japanese wild mouse, Mus musculus molossinus, which has been approximately 1 million years genetically distant from standard inbred mouse strains mainly derived from M. m. domesticus. Due to its genetic divergence, MSM/Ms has been broadly used in linkage studies. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed for the MSM/Ms genome, and sequence analysis of the MSM/Ms genome showed approximately 1% of nucleotides differed from those in the commonly used inbred mouse strain, C57BL/6J. Therefore, MSM/Ms mice are thought to be useful for functional genome studies. MSM/Ms mice show unique characteristics of phenotypes, including its smaller body size, resistance to high-fat-diet-induced diabetes, high locomotive activity, and resistance to age-onset hearing loss, inflammation, and tumorigenesis, which are distinct from those of common inbred mouse strains. Furthermore, ES (Embryonic Stem) cell lines established from MSM/Ms allow the MSM/Ms genome to be genetically manipulated. Therefore, genomic and phenotypic analyses of MSM/Ms reveal novel insights into gene functions that were previously not obtained from research on common laboratory strains. Tumorigenesis-related MSM/Ms-specific genetic traits have been intensively investigated in Japan. Furthermore, radiation-induced thymic lymphomas and chemically-induced skin tumors have been extensively examined using MSM/Ms.
