小鼠输精管内转染法建立人组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)乳腺定位表达生物反应器的研究

外源基因受精卵内显微注射目前仍然是种常用的建立转基因动物的方法,但此方法操作复杂,成本高。因此利用精子作为载体将外源基因带入卵细胞内建立转基因动物成了极具吸引力的方法,并且已有一些成功的报道。虽然该方法简单,但总体来说可重复性较差。我们在建立乳腺定位表达人组织型纤溶酶原激活剂(tPA)小鼠模型中,对此方法做了改进,即将脂质体包裹的外源基因在小鼠输精管及附睾管内转染精子,而非以往的在体外转染,结果:(1)五只转染小鼠,术后10天内共使10只正常母鼠受精;(2)共繁殖出79只首建者小鼠,存活42只;(3)用PCR检测首建者小鼠外源基因的整合,阳性率为7/42(16.67%);(4)用凝胶平板溶圈试验检测5只PCR阳性的雌性首建者小鼠泌乳期乳汁中的活性tPA,3/5表达,表达量在12—20IU/ml之间(约相当于48—80ng/ml);(5)PCR检测4只子一代小鼠外源基因的遗传情况,阳性率为2/4。

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOUSE BIOREACTOR EXPRESSING HUMAN TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR (tPA) IN MAMMARY GLAND BY TRANSFECTING SPERMATOZOA IN TESTICULAR DUCT

The most established methods for development of transgenic animals are the microinjection of DNA into the fertilized eggs, but it is still a procedure of certain complexity and high cost. Therefore, the idea of using sperm as a vehicle to carry exogenous DNA into eggs is very attractive, and there have been some successful reports. Though the methods are rather simple they sometimes have low reproducibility. To improve the technique we transinfected the spermatozoa in testicular duct, not in vitro, to produce mice which expressed human tissue plasminogenactivator (tPA) in mammary gland. The results demonstrated that: (1)5 transinfected mice mated 10 female mice in 10 days after operation, (2) 79 founders were developed and 42 survived, (3) using PCR to detect foreign DNA integrated into the genome of founders, 7 out of 42 founders were positive (16. 67%), (4) The expression level of tPA was 48-80ng/ml in the milk of 5 PCR positive founders and (5) the foreign DNA integrated into the genome was detected in 2 out of 4 1st offspring by PCR technique.
