Treatment Summary:Eight- to ten-week-old female C57Bl/6 WT, Berk-ss, or Hbbth3/+ mice were either obtained from Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME, USA) or our in-house Berk SCD mouse colony. Mice were housed and bred in an AAALAC accredited animal facility at the University of Colorado, Denver, Anschutz Medical campus and were maintained on a 12:12 light-dark cycle with food and water available ad libitum. Female heterozygous Berk-ss mice were bred with male homozygous Berkss mice to generate homozygous offspring. Specifically, Berk-ss mice with genotype Tg(HuminiLCR α1 Gγ Aγ δ βs ) Hba0/0 Hbb0/0 and the hemizygous with genotype Tg(Hu-miniLCR α1 Gγ Aγ δ βs ) Hba0/0 Hbb0 Hbb+ were littermates. Genotyping of mice used for breeding and experiments was performed by TransnetYX (Cordova, TN, USA). A total of 21 mice (C57Bl/6: n=10, Berk-ss mice: n=11, Hbbth3/+ =10) were used in the present investigation and levels of discomfort and distress were monitored daily by the in-house animal care staff, with a veterinarian available as needed. All experimental procedures were conducted under the guidelines recommended by The Journal of Physiology (11), the National Institutes of Health and were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Colorado, Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus.
