SCID-hu小鼠:HIV研究的小型动物模型 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
长期以来缺乏病毒体内感染的小动物模型是制约HIV-1研究取得突破性进展的一大障碍。研究者将胎儿的胸腺和胎肝组织移植到重症联合免疫缺陷(SCID)小鼠体内,构建了SCID-hu(Thy/Liv)人鼠嵌合模型。该模型具备正常功能性的人造血器官“Thy/Liv”,较真实地模拟了HIV-1感染人胸腺后的状况,是研究HIV-1体内感染较成功且很有潜力的嵌合鼠模型。SCID-hu(Thy/Liv)模型的构建使得在小型动物体内研究HIV的某些致病机制、临床前评价各种先导药物的体内抗HIV活性、评价新的治疗方案及寻求合适的基因治疗等成为可能,为在体内研究人造血系统和免疫系统的病理生理机能及人干细胞基因治疗提供了有力的工具,有广泛的应用前景。 相似文献

Humanized mice are crucial tools for studying human pathogens in systemic situations. An animal model of human coronavirus
infectious disease has been generated by gene transfer of the human receptor for virus-cell interaction (aminopeptidase N,
APN, CD13) into mice. We showed that in vitro and in vivo infections across the species barrier differ in their requirements. Transgenic cells were susceptible to human coronavirus
HCoV-229E infection demonstrating the requirement of hAPN for viral cell entry. Transgenic mice, however, could not be infected
suggesting additional requirements for in vivo virus susceptibility. Crossing hAPN transgenic mice with interferon unresponsive Stat1−/− mice resulted in markedly enhanced virus replication in vitro but did not result in detectable virus replication in vivo. Adaptation of the human virus to murine cells led to successful infection of the humanized transgenic mice. Future genetic
engineering approaches are suggested to provide animal models for the better understanding of human infectious diseases. 相似文献

The brain is the major dose-limiting organ in patients undergoing radiotherapy for assorted conditions. Radiation-induced brain injury is common and mainly occurs in patients receiving radiotherapy for malignant head and neck tumors, arteriovenous malformations, or lung cancer-derived brain metastases. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of radiation-induced brain injury are largely unknown. Although many treatment strategies are employed for affected individuals, the effects remain suboptimal. Accordingly, animal models are extremely important for elucidating pathogenic radiation-associated mechanisms and for developing more efficacious therapies. So far, models employing various animal species with different radiation dosages and fractions have been introduced to investigate the prevention, mechanisms, early detection, and management of radiation-induced brain injury. However, these models all have limitations, and none are widely accepted. This review summarizes the animal models currently set forth for studies of radiation-induced brain injury, especially rat and mouse, as well as radiation dosages, dose fractionation, and secondary pathophysiological responses. 相似文献

Background
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) hydrolyzes phospholipids, initiating the production of inflammatory lipid mediators. We have previously shown that in rats, sPLA2 and cPLA2 play opposing roles in the pathophysiology of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced experimental allergic bronchitis (OVA-EAB), an asthma model: Upon disease induction sPLA2 expression and production of the broncho-constricting CysLTs are elevated, whereas cPLA2 expression and the broncho-dilating PGE2 production are suppressed. These were reversed upon disease amelioration by treatment with an sPLA2 inhibitor. However, studies in mice reported the involvement of both sPLA2 and cPLA2 in EAB induction.Objectives
To examine the relevance of mouse and rat models to understanding asthma pathophysiology.Methods
OVA-EAB was induced in mice using the same methodology applied in rats. Disease and biochemical markers in mice were compared with those in rats.Results
As in rats, EAB in mice was associated with increased mRNA of sPLA2, specifically sPLA2gX, in the lungs, and production of the broncho-constricting eicosanoids CysLTs, PGD2 and TBX2 in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). In contrast, EAB in mice was associated also with elevated cPLA2 mRNA and PGE2 production. Yet, treatment with an sPLA2 inhibitor ameliorated the EAB concomitantly with reverting the expression of both cPLA2 and sPLA2, and eicosanoid production.Conclusions
In both mice and rats sPLA2 is pivotal in OVA-induced EAB. Yet, amelioration of asthma markers in mouse models, and human tissues, was observed also upon cPLA2 inhibition. It is plausible that airway conditions, involving multiple cell types and organs, require the combined action of more than one, essential, PLA2s. 相似文献9.

The human mammary gland is composed of 15-20 lobes that secrete milk into a branching duct system opening at the nipple. Those lobes are themselves composed of a number of terminal duct lobular units made of secretory alveoli and converging ducts1. In mice, a similar architecture is observed at pregnancy in which ducts and alveoli are interspersed within the connective tissue stroma. The mouse mammary gland epithelium is a tree like system of ducts composed of two layers of cells, an inner layer of luminal cells surrounded by an outer layer of myoepithelial cells denoted by the confines of a basement membrane2. At birth, only a rudimental ductal tree is present, composed of a primary duct and 15-20 branches. Branch elongation and amplification start at the beginning of puberty, around 4 weeks old, under the influence of hormones3,4,5. At 10 weeks, most of the stroma is invaded by a complex system of ducts that will undergo cycles of branching and regression in each estrous cycle until pregnancy2. At the onset of pregnancy, a second phase of development begins, with the proliferation and differentiation of the epithelium to form grape-shaped milk secretory structures called alveoli6,7. Following parturition and throughout lactation, milk is produced by luminal secretory cells and stored within the lumen of alveoli. Oxytocin release, stimulated by a neural reflex induced by suckling of pups, induces synchronized contractions of the myoepithelial cells around the alveoli and along the ducts, allowing milk to be transported through the ducts to the nipple where it becomes available to the pups 8. Mammary gland development, differentiation and function are tightly orchestrated and require, not only interactions between the stroma and the epithelium, but also between myoepithelial and luminal cells within the epithelium9,10,11. Thereby, mutations in many genes implicated in these interactions may impair either ductal elongation during puberty or alveoli formation during early pregnancy, differentiation during late pregnancy and secretory activation leading to lactation12,13. In this article, we describe how to dissect mouse mammary glands and assess their development using whole mounts. We also demonstrate how to evaluate myoepithelial contractions and milk ejection using an ex-vivo oxytocin-based functional assay. The effect of a gene mutation on mammary gland development and function can thus be determined in situ by performing these two techniques in mutant and wild-type control mice.

The adeno-associated virus (AAV) is unique in its ability to target viral DNA integration to a defined region of human chromosome 19 (AAVS1). Since AAVS1 sequences are not conserved in a rodent’s genome, no animal model is currently available to study AAV-mediated site-specific integration. We describe here the generation of transgenic rats and mice that carry the AAVS1 3.5-kb DNA fragment. To test the response of the transgenic animals to Rep-mediated targeting, primary cultures of mouse fibroblasts, rat hepatocytes, and fibroblasts were infected with wild-type wt AAV. PCR amplification of the inverted terminal repeat (ITR)-AAVS1 junction revealed that the AAV genome integrated into the AAVS1 site in fibroblasts and hepatocytes. Integration in rat fibroblasts was also observed upon transfection of a plasmid containing the rep gene under the control of the p5 and p19 promoters and a dicistronic cassette carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and neomycin (neo) resistance gene between the ITRs of AAV. The localization of the GFP-Neo sequence in the AAVS1 region was determined by Southern blot and FISH analysis. Lastly, AAV genomic DNA integration into the AAVS1 site in vivo was assessed by virus injection into the quadriceps muscle of transgenic rats and mice. Rep-mediated targeting to the AAVS1 site was detected in several injected animals. These results indicate that the transgenic lines are proficient for Rep-mediated targeting. These animals should allow further characterization of the molecular aspects of site-specific integration and testing of the efficacy of targeted integration of AAV recombinant vectors designed for human gene therapy. 相似文献

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multidimensional health problem and a common chronic disease. It has a substantial impact on patient quality of life and is a common cause of pain and mobility issues in older adults. The functional limitations, lack of curative treatments, and cost to society all demonstrate the need for translational and clinical research. The use of OA models in mice is important for achieving a better understanding of the disease. Models with clinical relevance are needed to achieve 2 main goals: to assess the impact of the OA disease (pain and function) and to study the efficacy of potential treatments. However, few OA models include practical strategies for functional assessment of the mice. OA signs in mice incorporate complex interrelations between pain and dysfunction. The current review provides a comprehensive compilation of mouse models of OA and animal evaluations that include static and dynamic clinical assessment of the mice, merging evaluation of pain and function by using automatic and noninvasive techniques. These new techniques allow simultaneous recording of spontaneous activity from thousands of home cages and also monitor environment conditions. Technologies such as videography and computational approaches can also be used to improve pain assessment in rodents but these new tools must first be validated experimentally. An example of a new tool is the digital ventilated cage, which is an automated home-cage monitor that records spontaneous activity in the cages.Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multidimensional health problem and a common chronic disease.36 Functional limitations, the absence of curative treatments, and the considerable cost to society result in a substantial impact on quality of life.76 Historically, OA has been described as whole joint and whole peri-articular diseases and as a systemic comorbidity.9,111 OA consists of a disruption of articular joint cartilage homeostasis leading to a catabolic pathway characterized by chondrocyte degeneration and destruction of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Low-grade chronic systemic inflammation is also actively involved in the process.42,92 In clinical practice, mechanical pain, often accompanied by a functional decline, is the main reason for consultations. Recommendations to patients provide guidance for OA management.22, 33,49,86 Evidence-based consensus has led to a variety of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic modalities that are intended to guide health care providers in managing symptomatic patients. Animal-based research is of tremendous importance for the study of early diagnosis and treatment, which are crucial to prevent the disease progression and provide better care to patients.The purpose of animal-based OA research is 2-fold: to assess the impact of the OA disease (pain and function) and to study the efficacy of a potential treatment.18,67 OA model species include large animals such as the horse, goat, sheep, and dog, whose size and anatomy are expected to better reflect human joint conditions. However, small animals such as guinea pig, rabbit, mouse, and rat represent 77% of the species used.1,87 In recent years, mice have become the most commonly used model for studying OA. Mice have several advantageous characteristics: a short development and life span, easy and low-cost breeding and maintenance, easy handling, small joints that allow histologic analysis of the whole joint,32 and the availability of genetically modified lines.108 Standardized housing, genetically defined strains and SPF animals reduce the genetic and interindividual acquired variability. Mice are considered the best vertebrate model in terms of monitoring and controlling environmental conditions.7,14,15,87 Mouse skeletal maturation is reached at 10 wk, which theoretically constitutes the minimal age at which mice should be entered into an OA study.64,87,102 However, many studies violate this limit by testing mice at 8 wk of age.Available models for OA include the following (32,111 physical activity and exercise induced OA; noninvasive mechanical loading (repetitive mild loading and single-impact injury); and surgically induced (meniscectomy models or anterior cruciate ligament transection). The specific model used would be based on the goal of the study.7 For example, OA pathophysiology, OA progression, and OA therapies studies could use spontaneous, genetic, surgical, or noninvasive models. In addition, pain studies could use chemical models. Lastly, post-traumatic studies would use surgical or noninvasive models; the most frequently used method is currently destabilization of the medial meniscus,32 which involves transection of the medial meniscotibial ligament, thereby destabilizing the joint and causing instability-driven OA. An important caveat for mouse models is that the mouse and human knee differ in terms of joint size, joint biomechanics, and histologic characteristics (layers, cellularity),32,64 and joint differences could confound clinical translation.10 Table 1. Mouse models of osteoarthritis.
Open in a separate windowSince all animal models have strengths and weaknesses, it is often best to plan using a number of models and techniques together to combine the results.In humans, the lack of correlation between OA imaging assessment and clinical signs highlights the need to consider the functional data and the quality of life to personalize OA management. Clinical outcomes are needed to achieve 2 main goals: to assess the impact of the OA in terms of pain and function and to study the efficacy of treatments.65 Recent reviews offer few practical approaches to mouse functional assessment and novel approaches to OA models in mice.7,32,67,75,79,83,87, 100,120 This review will focus on static and dynamic clinical assessment of OA using automatic and noninvasive emerging techniques (Test name Techniques Kind of assessment Output Specific equipment required Static measurement Von Frey filament testing Calibrated nylon filaments of various thickness (and applied force) are pressed against the skin of the plantar surface of the paw in ascending order of force Stimulus- evoked pain-like behavior
