Message to researchers: the characteristic absence of a posterior communicating artery is easily lost in the gerbil

The Mongolian gerbil has historically been useful for brain ischemia experiments, owing to the gerbil’s uniquely underdeveloped circle of Willis (CoW). This led to a gerbil model of cochlear ischemia being generated in our unit. However, we have found that the usual severe hearing loss seen in this...

description The Mongolian gerbil has historically been useful for brain ischemia experiments, owing to the gerbil’s uniquely underdeveloped circle of Willis (CoW). This led to a gerbil model of cochlear ischemia being generated in our unit. However, we have found that the usual severe hearing loss seen in this model was not being induced consistently in recent experiments using the MON/Jms/GbsSlc gerbil (the sole commercially available gerbil in Japan). We set out to evaluate the posterior communicating artery (PcomA) in MON/Jms/GbsSlc, to re-establish whether this strain is appropriate for ischemia models. Having found that this unique feature is often lost, we then attempted to breed for the characteristic absent PcomA. India-ink perfusion revealed that the percentage of intact bilateral PcomA (“communicating type”) in the MON/Jms/GbsSlc gerbil was 57%; unilateral only (“unilateral communicating type”) was 39%; and completely absent PcomA (“non-communicating type”) was 4%. We were able to obtain few examples of the indigenous old aged Japanese UNG/Mz gerbil strain (at University of Miyazaki). Unfortunately, the pure UNG/Mz female was too elderly for mating. Therefore, selective breeding crosses between MON/Jms/GbsSlc and male UNG/Mz were carried out. After five generations of selective breeding, the percentage of non-communicating type gerbils was significantly higher in the newly generated strain, MON/Jms/SlcMz (F6 generation; 63%) than in the MON/Jms/GbsSlc gerbil. Bilateral common carotid artery occlusion surgery demonstrated that the cerebral blood flow was significantly reduced in MON/Jms/SlcMz compared with MON/Jms/GbsSlc ( p
